I don't have a double from them (I have a triple), but generally they just feel slightly chonkier. The only good plastic triple I've found has gotten so expensive that an ICO might be a better option now.įor ICO, their prices are affordable but they instruments seem heavier to me. STL's plastic triple isn't NEARLY as good as their double. Both the Songbird and Zelda ceramic doubles are ok, but kinda meh. The STL plastic double for $40 is a good deal and if you can find one, go for it if you don't want to spend a lot of money. For STL, I prefer the purple clay double over any of their other offerings (and over the Focalink doubles). You may be able to get one cheaper on the Focalink website too, but watch the shipping charges. With Songbird, I suggest sticking with the Focalink doubles. Also, I'm not sure if they are actively offered so you'll have to contact him. Hind's transverse doubles require softer breath than the Night by Noble and will cost a good bit more than others. I haven't tried any of his newer ones, but completely trust Spencer's sensibilities and integrity. Spencer is going to most likely require a wait, as his ocarinas are in high demand and he had a production setback (but has recovered) a few months ago. If you're willing to order internationally, then the options open up a good bit. If you're in the US, then you've got Spencer, Hind, Songbird, STL, and Imperial City Ocarinas - if you don't want to order internationally. I mostly play my 11 hole Oberon AC, so take all this with a grain of salt if you need advice from someone that is heavily into multis. The truth is, I don't play multis much anymore. It could be why I go for my TNG purple clay when I go for a multi. I do wish there was a matte finish version. So in short any ocarina from songbird or STL or some other proper ocarina store will give you great quality and a proper instrument, even if the one you will buy is zelda themed.Takashi would be my suggestion if you want a nice round pure tone. If you wish to see it so you can get a better look at their quality in a "real world" lighting (specifically for the ocarina of time replica) here is the link! In it I also show the ocarina of time replica I have from them. I recently got my second songbird ocarina last month and made an unboxing video. BUT I have seen many videos of them and their sound seems to be just as good as songbird. I never had any ocarinas from STL, for me I'm just not a big fan of how their ocarinas look. Plus the quality is fantastic, and i know this because I have two ocarinas from them. I personally recommend songbird, but that's because I like how creative they are and the passion they put in their work. And these stores have so many ocarinas that are not based on zelda since you know, ocarinas are actual instruments that have been around for at least centuries. ![]() If you buy an ocarina from a propper ocarina store like songbird or STL, you should expect to have good quality. Just because the design is zelda based doesn't make it bad. It's a ceramic ocarina with 12 holes and in the alto c tuning. It's honestly the best replica I've seen for it. I've had a songbird ocarina of time replica for like 8 or so years. ![]()
