And since it’s so portable, I carry it around almost everywhere I go, and it’s great for bringing to nerd conventions.
The 12 Hole Tenor Hobbit Ocarina will cost you $59.99, but it’s definitely worth it. Then again, if you’re pretty good, I don’t think they would mind as much. However, it can get annoying to others if you’re practicing in a place with roommates or family members. It has to sound elegant while also sounding loud enough for listeners to hear. I was mostly successful, and it was a fun process to learn on the spot.Īnother important thing to practice is how you’re blowing into the ocarina. I practiced and improvised by messing around with the notes, trying to get it right, and then playing it for him. So you’ll get to learn how to play songs like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and more.įor fun, I asked one of my friends to name a random theme song from any movies or video games. It’s a pretty cool site that includes notes for playing either the 12-hole ocarina or the other types of ocarinas, and it also contains video demonstrations so that you can learn the rhythm and hear how it should sound. There’s also an online database for ocarina notes called Tabs-Ocarina. The other songs, since I didn’t remember or have a reference in hand, were a bit harder. I started off with the included songbook and was able to learn “In Dreams” (a variation of the hobbit theme from The Lord of the Rings films) and “The King of the Golden Hall” (the theme for Rohan). You don’t have to be musically talented to get into ocarinas, since I think just about anybody can play with enough practice. The paint used is non-toxic tree-based paint (The Hobbits do love nature).
Each Ocarina is hand made and has a nice leafy green color with Lord of the Rings-inspired branch-like swirls. The Hobbit ocarina comes with with a neck strap, a Lord of the Rings songbook and online instructional booklet. The store has been expanding their ocarina designs, and the latest one to pop up are the ocarinas inspired by The Hobbit. We had the opportunity to review this piece, and it’s a beauty. Thanks to online stores like STL Ocarina, fans and music lovers can actually have a chance to own a Zelda ocarina.
The game is considered to many as one of the best video games ever, and it’s no surprise to find out that there are plenty of people getting into ocarinas because of it. The first time I heard of an ocarina was when I played The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.
