Thomann Zfan Fairy Ocarina AC 12-H C3 Reviews

Beautiful, but takes practice.

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!

Good but better alternatives

I bought it to play along with guitar and cajon, on the low notes its great, but the high notes feel a bit out of pitch, and in my opinion it is better to decorate it somewhere rather than play it.

For learning I would go for a plastic one as reviews show that it has better pitch and sounds better overall.

It has a nice case though and the book is awesome ^^

Personally I would not recommend this one, but do your research first (youtube, google etc etc). Better go with what sounds good and when you get good at it, go for a pricy one ;)

Brilliant!

I am beyond pleased with this purchase, the booklet that came with is a good help aswell as whenever a new note comes up it shows the way to hold your fingers under it, the Ocarina itself is at a good size for an adult, though my hands may be on the larger side for it I can still manage without much dificulty.

Absolutely gorgeous!

It sounds as lovely as it looks!

And it was good that a musicbook came with the ocarina with a few melodies and a finger chart that shows how to play on the instrument. It even came with a case!

I promise, your Legend of Zelda- fanatic friends will be green with envy when you show it to them ;)
