MUSIC: try The Mose Tapiero discography for music or one of the Japanese manufacturers of traditional ocarinas who fill a gap not attended to in the west.

Hi,

What you appear to have is the reduced range version of traditional fingering - for which there are no tutors except a vintage 1940s one produced in USA by Gretch for the military issue plastic ocarina -we hope to have pictures on-line soon.

Regarding Traditional Donati style ocarinas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frankly,there is no-one except Jesu Palazon in Mallorca Fabio Menaglio in Budrio and doubtless someone in Japan who can even compare. You will be dissapointed with anything mass-produced.

If you want a Traditional shape ocarina like that shown on Zelda info -you should know that the 10 holed ones are not very easy to play, and that well-tuned ones are generally hard to find and expensive to buy.
