STL Necklace Ocarina Demonstrations

[hypergirlgx]

Oh wow, the pictures of these are very misleading on the website! They all are much more vibrant and two toned in color, the neck strap is just beautiful (which is not shown on the web site) I received the blue triangle ocarina yesterday and was so pleasantly surprised I bought 2 more!

[canary767]

can you tell me is better in quality/sound. I'm choosing between the spotted orange ocarina or the blue triangular one? which one is best?

[senoranachos]

Hi! Is there a specific way in we have to clean it after playing with it? I love these lil ocarians they are very handy to carry around! :D

[ocarinadiva]

@senoranachos

You can rinse it off with warm, soapy water. They are glazed ceramic, so it should be fine. :)



[malpa9999]

It's great! But I have some question - from which film ist 3rd music? :)

[ocarinadiva]

@malpa9999

It's a Korean folk song called "Arirang".

[mastax1234]

i just bought the blue one! cant wait, this will be my first ocarina.

[henanimejade]

what song do you first play? where ca I find the sheet music for it? :)

[ocarinadiva]

@henanimejade Forest of Love : Sojiro

[henanimejade]

are all of the ones you play 6 holed c major ocarinas?

[Anathwin]

What is the second one you play? Pitch wise? (and the song is cute! what is that?)

I'm looking to buy a small necklace one to have wherever I go, and as a practice for a nightingale tennor that I've found out will play a song I really want to learn. Mayu's theme from Captain Harlock.

[ocarinadiva]

@Anathwin It's a soprano pendant in C. It plays from C5 to E6. The song is by Sojiro, probably the most famous ocarinist in the world :)

[profjaykay]

i love that korean folk song!.. forgot what it was called though=/

[ocarinadiva]

@profjaykay It's called Arirang. I'll send you a video I did of it :)

[JoeJoeTater]

When I order one of these, will it be the color currently on the site, or are there others I can choose?

[Ellasocarina]

I got the triangular one and want to know what the song is that you are playing?

[Ellasocarina]

i want one!!

[TreyFriend]

I'm thinking about getting the triangle one for my 11 year old sister. She's turning 12 in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering.. Do you think it will be too big for her to wear? She's just under 5 ft tall.

[TackleTrap78]

@TreyFriend neck strap is adjustable so yes

[wachi1991]

Thank you ocarinadiva

[wachi1991]

I already know that. I think you did not understand what I meant. What I mean pitch in rang of notes example like c4 c5.

[ocarinadiva]

@wachi1991

It plays from C6 to E7.

[wachi1991]

What is the pitch of the green ocarina? I looked at the description of the ocarina on stlocarina but it does not show the pitch I need to know before I think of getting it.

[ocarinadiva]

@wachi1991 It's a soprano C ocarina.

[MrComicz]

were can i find the first ocarina?? can someone give me a link (im a noob) xD

[ocarinadiva]

@MrComicz Click on the link in the video description and it will be the first ocarina :)

[Razoocie]

So if you are watching this and wondering if you should get one, I'm saying; Go for it. It's cheap, and this is propably the most fun ocarina I've had so far, just because it takes 1,5 seconds to grab it from your neck and start playing. (Ocarina playing in long traffic lights for the win ;-). )

[ocarinadiva]

Yup - I play at traffic lights. People give me some strange looks!!! :P

[Razoocie]

I have been only playing 12-hole ocarinas so far, so it took some time to adjust to the new fingerings with this model. But it's fun to see the diversity when playing with this one, and when playing with 12-hole one. Some songs are easier to play with this and visa versa.

[Razoocie]

I got mine few months ago, and I'm slowly falling in love with this small piece of art. I got it because I wanted something extremely mobile, and something that's easy to carry. This fits for the purpose perfectly. First I was worried about the sound, but now I have to say that I prefer the sound of this over my 12-hole Florentine soprano one.

[Turbo852]

They look very interesting!  The first one kind of makes me think of a the classic alien head shape. They seem to sound nice as well.

[FatTonyBBX]

I've wanted one of these for months now. I have a 12-hole soprano ocarina now, would it take long to get used to playing a 6 hole?

-FT

[ocarinadiva]

Well, the fingerings are completely different, so it might be difficult at first. But if you stick to practicing scales at first, it will make it much easier when you start trying to learn songs. There are tabs all over the internet for 6 hole pendant ocarinas. :)

[FatTonyBBX]

Thanks for the tips :)

[johnpablov]

cute well done!!!!!!!!!1

[haganeno76]

aww it's so cute!

[IHeartMySnes]

I had been waiting to hear these! The only one I had heard that resembled them was a sopraNINO C, and that kind of put me off from them.. Glad to see they're not quite as high as that one was, though XD

[hazelnut1593]

Awesome video, very helpful! =] I have a question though: is the second one hard to play because of the angle? I really like that one. =]

[ocarinadiva]

The asymmetric design is a little awkward at first but it isn't difficult. I use my 2 pinkies to stabilize pendants when I play, which helps a lot.

The asymmetric ones do have a brighter/cheerier tone and the rounder ones have a more mellow tone.

[Bateleur5]

Wow, that third one was an ear-buster! >_0

But I really like the second one, the brown triangular pendant. It looks great and has my favorite sound of the three. =]

[ocarinadiva]

Yeah, the little one is REALLY high pitched but they're so darned cute I tend to wear them the most.

The brown ones are definitely the most "Guy Friendly" :)

[Bateleur5]

Hey now, I wore a bright green bloodstone pendant for several years! X)

[ocarinadiva]

Touché LOL

[onijester56]

I speak on behalf of EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER EXISTED ON THIS PLANET EVER when I say that you are excellent.

I speak on only my behalf when I say "Thank you for the short performance."

[ocarinadiva]

Aw thanks :) LOL

[onijester56]

You are welcome.

= - ]

[subakuryu]

those pendants sure sound and look stylish. However, it's a shame they really aren't my style though, haha. They do seem to fit your type of attire nicely, diva. :)

[ocarinadiva]

Thanks! I bet they'd fit your style more if they were in a matte finish. You seem to be a pretty earthy kind of guy :)
