Great instrument! And thanks for the complementary mini "happy birthday" music box, as it was a gift for my son's birthday.

Ocarina Premium 12 Hole SC Premium Kit
The ocarina belongs to a very old family of instruments, believed to date back over 12,000 years. Ocarina-type instruments have been of particular importance in Chinese and Mesoamerican cultures. There are many styles of ocarinas varying in shape and the number of holes.
This 12-hole Soprano C ocarina is professionally made from kiln-fired ceramic with a beautiful and durable glaze. The ocarina is easy to learn, The way of playing the ocarina is very similar to that of the recorder, but the ocarina has a more beautiful tone and unique shape.
*The alto ocarina produces deeper tones and is suitable for beginners, while the soprano ocarina offers higher pitches and is ideal for experienced players seeking a brighter sound.

Ocarina 12 Hole Alto C Teal - I purchased it for its $10 discount over a Stein Rose model. Despite its slightly lower price tag, and (assumed) different brand, it plays really well. Even as a complete beginner, I was able to play in tune, with a linear, comfortable breath curve, and even pull off some extended range techniques by Milt. 10/10 for its price and appearance. It came with a basic padded carry bag, beaded strap, and fingering chart/song book. Minor nitpicks: 1) i did not realise at first, that it was not itself a Stein model (box labeled made in china, seemed generic), as the landing page for ocarinas stated "we proudly carry Focalink Stein (Fengya) ocarinas" which at first read I thought that the whole range was by Stein. Thats partially my fault though, so no stars deducted. 2) The photos of the teal model appear to be AI or slightly modified? It would not hurt to have real photos representing the model, so that folks are not deceived about how it looks. e.g. the crackle glaze pattern in reality is a lot more dense than the edited photos. The photos do not affect the performance of the instrument though so no stars deducted.
The Rose series by Focalink is a beautiful ocarina. I love the cracked pottery look on the teal model. Tone is beautiful particularly on the high notes.
Good
This is a beautiful bass c ocarina; it has a lovely tone. For a beginner it’s a bit of a challenge to get use to (it’s bigger and much heavier than alto c), but with regular practice it gets better. Most importantly it’s perfectly in tune. I’m happy with my purchase
Very nice Ocarina, very well tuned and great in the hands. However ended up receiving a white one even though I ordered a floral pattern
Good sound. In tune. Recommend.
Loving my ocarina, sounds Devine. I’m just mastering the Lonely Shepherd tune. I’m a complete novice but enjoying learning something new 🙏🏼
Sounds lovely. Very comfortable to hold and it's easy to find the fingering
Got My F beauty after buying and loving my G. Beautiful on my coffee table too. Lovely sounds. Easy play. Wonderful 👍❤️🙏
An amazing, high-quality instrument delivered with excellent customer service. The staff assisted me in making a terrific selection. I couldn't be happier!
Little Kalimba Shop came to my rescue today with their speedy processing time and allowing me to pick up same day. This ocarina look beautiful, sounds amazing and everything you did to support me and brighten my day allowed me to accompany my ukulele group with this gorgeous instrument adding a little flare to our music tonight! I'm looking forward to making more memories with this amazing instrument in gigs!
A beautiful instrument, no cracks or scratches. Comes with a little velvet bag, and a beaded cord. Low and mid notes play beautifully smooth, but the top notes can be more difficult to manage. Overall an amazing Ocarina that’s clearly well made and of higher quality.
Lovely instrument that brought back memories of my husbands father playing it .. I am sure it will be well used and passed down to my son
Looks very pretty and plays well so far. It’s my first ocarina but I’m managing to get a good sound out of all except the highest and lowest notes after about a week of play. I’m assuming with practice I’ll be able to get the highest and lowest notes out a bit cleaner.
Notes B - F are off, cheap sounding, regardless of skill level
Had a great experience with Melodic Forest. Hankered after a bass, which arrived quickly and is a beautiful sounding instrument. Can’t play much yet, but a quality ocarina is a wonderful thing that can do so much, from slow and other-worldly to jaunty and dashing. Thank you!
Prompt despatch. Xun was well packaged. It sounds like a gentle breeze.
My heart was filled with joy when my ocarina arrived in the mail. I love the sound when I play it, and when I hold it, it feels so right. It is truly a beautiful instrument. Thank you, Melodic Forest, for the support and encouragement. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space.
It's a gift for a professional recorder player. As an amateur it looks great. I'm not going to play it so that's as much as I'm able to report!
Great ocarina.
Arrived in the post, speedy delivery, packaged really well, quality is great too. I've just got to learn how to play it :)
Can I get a refund please. It tone is wrong
Stein 12-Hole Alto C Ocarina Rose Series
Store owner replied: Hi Angela, Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your ocarina. The Focalink Stein series is widely regarded as an industry benchmark for tuning accuracy and is considered one of the most accurately tuned ocarinas available. Could you please send us a short video of you playing it? We'd like to rule out any transit damage. If the instrument was damaged during shipping and developed a crack, that could certainly affect the sound, although this is quite rare. Other than transit damage, it is very unlikely that the tuning itself is incorrect. Ocarina is a proper musical instrument and requires correct technique, including breath control, fingering, airflow, and articulation. Unlike many other sound healing instruments, it does not automatically sound good without practice. Even a professional-quality $300 ocarina can sound like a plastic recorder if played with incorrect technique. Once we receive a video, we'll be happy to have a look and provide some tips to help you get the sound the instrument is designed to produce. If we identify a genuine quality issue or shipping damage, we will of course provide a refund or replacement. Kind regards, Tiffany
Very high quality and I love the storage bag that is included. Beautiful sound and look.
My first ocarina. After about 1 hours practice I can play a few songs. I find it easy to play, comfy to hold, no trouble getting enough air to make the alto F sing well. The sound is beautiful. It would sound even better in a room with good acoustics or with a microphone. Very similar fingerings to a recorder so its quite intuitive for me. Im very happy with my purchase. Ill be buying an alto C and probably a bass ocarina soon. The ocarina can play two full octaves of notes which is half an octave less than a recorder, although the highest recorder notes are difficult to play well and very high pitched. Im using my recorder book 1 and that's working just fine for learning ocarina. If you can, buy an ocarina!
Got this as a birthday present for a friend. Actually one of the sickest sounds ever - brings a whole new vibe to bush camping
Ive never played 1 before ,so am enjoying my new experience ❤️
Once again, Melodic Forest has delivered. The parcel arrived, the ocarina wrapped in many protective layers. I was so excited to open the parcel as I could hardly wait to see and hold my new ocarina. Then I "played" it, and my heart filled with joy. I look forward to my music time every day.
Would have been great if there were some playing instructions or even some songs with what key to play with it
Enjoying learning the ocarina with this piece! It was great value for a beginner :)
I know I am a beginner but it just sounds airy and you can’t hear any difference between the notes. Nothing like the sample sound obviously that was a different instrument. Since writing this review the company has got back to me and I now know I had the wrong technique. So for any people reading this review please be aware that it isn’t the easiest instrument to pick up but worth it if you put in the effort
Fast delivery and great product. I recommend.
It is bigger than I thought , can I return for a different product ,
Love it, beautiful sound and reasonably easy to learn.
This is great, beautiful to hold and play. The video i watched said it can take years to master this, now I understand. Some of the notes, when I get them steady, feel soothing, in an ancient way.
The ocarina feels and sounds amazing
Great
Learning how to play it and my cow doesn't know what to make of it yet
Such a beautiful well made instrument. Sounds amazing. Thank you very much 🙏😊
