Thomann 10H Concert Ocarina C3 Alto

This is a great ocarina for beginners and the already accustomed ocarina player. It's ten holes, so the range is slightly limited to the standard 12 hole C3, however, you still have a huge range of repertoire to play. The size of this C3 is also a bit smaller than most of the others in my collection, so if you have extremely large hands, it might take a little time to get used to. For me, I was able to easily play tunes on it like my other C3's within a few minutes. It also uses European/Italian fingerings, so if you're used to 12 hole Asian ocarinas, make sure to take into account the different notation. The ocarina itself was packaged well, with a soft padded case, nice box, and songbook/tutorial included. An amazing price for an amazing instrument, and perfect for anyone wanting to take a leap into the ocarina world. Thanks!

It is a classic Alto C (C3) 10 holes ocarina by Rotter. No 'flaws', even if the lower E (Mi) is a little bit 'unexpected' or 'weak', and requires time to become used in order to play it effectively. It is a quite 'unusual' aspect of this ocarina, affecting a little bit the extemporaneous development of a performance. If compared with the Rotter Alto C (C3) "Fabio Gallini" 10 holes ocarina, this ocarina seems a little bit lower in quality, but that does not mean it is a poor ocarina. It is a very good musical instrument with its particular 'character', and it requires a bit to become used to it. The tone is very good and appropriate, and it can give a lot of satisfaction to the player over time and also for 'sudden' indoor and outdoor exhibitions.
