Does anybody else find it ironic that though David has been on KZbin for over 10 years, longer than nearly all other major producers in KZbin, and has played a major part in repopularizing the ocarina, only has 131,000 subscribers? He posts regularly as well, unlike some people on KZbin (Jon Cozart we are all staring at you right now)

[@zacharycoronado6749]

Sorry I meant 161,000

[@dominusanuli3595]

What if I told you that there was no irony in it?

[@filipchudziak2506]

Ah, the Major Scale, my favourite song

[@CheifPwnsanoob]

IT SOUNDS SO NICE

[@Random_Fanatic]

It does!

[@RoxyRocksTV]

They Are pretty!!!!

[@DavidErickRamos]

Yes, I love them, especially the tone!

[@condega37]

+David Erick Ramos - Ocarina hey can u do a tutorial for attack on titans theme on a four seven or twelve hole please thanks

[@montseyc3888]

+David Erick Ramos - Ocarina could you take a look at the Bocarina? (Basically an ocarina that you play with your nose, and change the pitch with your mouth.)

[@araselysierra2170]

Yfufigj

[@MizuchiKun]

What?! xD

[@tmack281]

I just got mine in 2 days t looks and sounds "EXACTLY" like you said. I cant put it down. I have already memorized the scale on it. I ordered the Alder wood model. It is "REALLY" worth the money. I'm so glad that I invested in this one. Off to the store to get some Sweet Almond Oil so it wont dry up on me. I have no complaints about this one. I give it a 10 for being a 4 hole Ocarina. Great for those who are just starting out on Ocarinas.

[@tardigrademicro]

Loved the clock town theme :)

[@RikardKarlssonYoutube]

This is what I call a Perfect review!! I'm actually looking for wooden Ocarinas so I should really take a great look at these gems! :) Thanks David! You're the man! ^^

[@savannahs.5874]

I always love how he plays the clockwork town song on the pendant ocarinas

[@jimgilbert9984]

Loved the Irish air played on the lightly colored ocarina.

[@animeevergreenathena]

Oh my gosh, now I’m tempted to buy the red and walnut ones, ha ha! Guilty as charged since I recently bought myself a two chamber ocarina from Songbird. I never thought that ocarina collecting would become this addictive. Heck, I didn’t even think that I’d get into it myself. I did it because my sister, who passed away in 2017, wanted to get herself a sweet potato one, but never did. Since I’m not a visual artist and my mom hates my Shakespearean style skits and Irish vibratos, playing the ocarina myself was the best that I could do. But anyway, awesome pieces you got there! So lucky that you are able to cultivate your passion like that. :)

[@nikkivanzanen]

These sound so cool! Sadly they aren't available anymore

[@pokemonmaster201212]

3:47 Oh god, I just got a rush of sadness! That lullaby always reminds me of a little moose stuffy that I have that plays the lullaby. I couldn't sleep without listening to it, and then the sound box died one night. I didn't stop crying for about a week after it was put in a box in my closet...

[@jamalix-music]

I had a plush mouse that played that song, and the music box died at some point too. My parents performed surgery on it and repaired it! :)

[@esile567]

I love the symbolism in the design. I prefer the sound of wooden ocarinas over clay ones, and now I really want to start playing again.

[@D3vilB4sket]

Sadly no longer available. I was really interested in getting one too

[@tmack281]

Can you play some more tunes on it so I can get the feel of just how versatile this Ocarina really is. Any lesson would be great. I watch all of your oc talk presentations on youtube also.

[@ronduff4325]

Beautiful craftsmanship !

[@jedi_mario]

Gorgeous instruments.

[@toasterwaterr]

those are beautiful

[@ronduff4325]

Your playing is Amazing

[@ghostification]

theyre so smol and make such a cute sound i love them ahhh

[@gogotrololo]

damn you play those really well, what a pleasant surprise (compared to most ocarina content i've seen)!

[@samfernandez5746]

David please go to San Jose Fanime Convention next year and play your favorite song on the ocarina in the songbird booth. Hope to see you next year at Fanime.

[@ypto82]

"oMg yOu vaPe???" "ocarina tututututu"

[@cynthiasanfilippo5537]

I love them!!! The wood is pretty! I made one out of clay,it was hard to make,lol

[@cognitiongnosis7313]

Very nice ocarinas just epic

[@javiervida2]

Hi David, I’m trading to find one of your ocarinas, but there are not available not any more at Amazon. Can you let me know where a can find it? Thank you

[@trismalie4181]

Hi Im just wondering how to clean it can soak it into water? I love the sound of the wood it was so warm.

[@craig9547]

These are so cool

[@sweeler3216]

You are an amazing player

[@wake-archus]

i was thinking about getting a guitar now i am gonna possibly get my second new ocarina

[@AMTheOcarinaPlayer]

Man, It's been a while since I watched one of your vids. (stupid limited internet) As always, Nice to see you and enjoy your ever so informative reviews! :3

[@darnelllin5503]

Your awesome and yeah

[@user-fg2me]

[@SincerestSawa]

Impressive for such a small instrument

[@jillmpeer7986]

Very nice.. I seem to be only abla to play the Langley concert pitch ocarina. i have several others by him.. a duet one and a bass one among other s but i play with a classical English Morris side.. ( dancers) and i play by ear with the harmonium player. i cant use either of my other ocarinas.. i wonder how much the wooden ones, here cost. Jill Peer Malvern England

[@roninjinn3014]

They sound very lovely. Mr. David do you happen to know of any Ocarina Guilds here in Sacramento? I am asking because I would love to be a part of one.

[@FreddyFazbear101]

Hello from Arizona David!!!

[@JABSofficial]

GENIAL!!!! :D SALUDOS ERICK!

[@michaelhopp6244]

Wunderschöne Teile! Gefallen mir sehr !

[@acecepter4017]

very cool

[@zacharycoronado6749]

On the C major scale, what was that arpeggio? Didn't sound like the arpeggio I normally hear on a C major scale

[@lumasgames8673]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!

[@reillywalker195]

I only see the G available on Amazon, but I'd definitely consider buying the A. Where and how might I get my hands on it?

[@Fangsinurface]

Where are these available?

[@jamesbarros950]

Sounds beautiful. What were the first 2 songs you played?

[@samo133]

3:16 - What is the nae of that tune? I love it! :)

[@bsk3254]

Nice

[@RajHearts]

How do you get that vibrato. I have a clay ocarina and I am not able to get that kind of a tone (vibrato)

[@zieh1667]

hey docjazz !! can you do a review on the chameleon ocarina from STL Ocarina ??

[@matthewsaulsbury3011]

Hi David, I like your ocarinas and stuff. I play several ocarinas and other musical instruments. I really like this Halverson Soprano in A, and the description doesn't have a link to it. Do you know how I can get it? Thank You so much! Take Care

[@thepurebloodedgamer]

Do you have any recommendations for cheap beginner ocarinas?

[@thepurebloodedgamer]

+el soundiest thank you good sir

[@soslothful]

Be careful about buying too cheap. If you get an ocarina of poor tone quality it may put you off from pursuing playing. My first ocarina was from Songbird and I really like it, well now them.

[@zxcvbnmasdfghjkl9439]

+soslothful i like their pendants the best

[@joeytabora1052]

What did you play on the Soprano A? That sounded really cool.

[@salaodxgotico]

casi me quedo dormido con la ultima canción , genial video , como siempre

[@annabollig6704]

I tried to get one from amazon from the link below but it says both are currently unavailable 😭

[@RucoMedia]

I have one wooden 4 holes ocarina. The last two high notes, B and C, do not sound. The others sounds fine. I don't undestand why this hapens. Somebody can help me?

[@KiwiClawDHA]

Are they only 4 hole?

[@isiahtwardowski8534]

Are they very durable?

[@tmack281]

David,I'm still trying to get in contact with Marlin about the Round A-key Ocarina in alder or walnut. I got one email from him last week. I would like to start the order procedure and acquire this ocarina. I don't know where to look. Amazon has the ones in G. I was looking for the ones in the key of A. If you can help me with this venture, I would be very grateful for it. If you can give me the webpage that takes orders. That would be awesome.
