Let me start out by saying how nice this ocarina looks, the dark blue gloss and glaze is immaculate, and the golden fairy emblem really is gorgeous. The ocarina itself definitely looks so much more pretty in person, which is an amazing plus, considering it already looks great in the promo images. For the sound, it is great for an Alto C ocarina- at this price range. The only drawback is that the high notes of this ocarina take some good practice, and good airflow. Strong, precise accurate breath flow is going to give you the most stable high notes for this ocarina. The higher register is a bit airy compared to a lot of other C3 ocarinas I own, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not the best ocarina for beginners, but an amazing addition, in terms of both aesthetics and sound. I love this Zfan ocarina. Thanks!
