I think the newer one would be better overall if they didn't cheap out on the band. Sounds better, color is more accurate, but the band just looks like a cheap sticker or something. Songbird will always be my personal favorite for the easily accessible and high quality OoT replicas.

Thanks for the clear review - I’m having a hard time deciding which one of these to get, but it’s so nice to have a straightforward opinion on the differences
@ninolatimer18632 жыл бұрын
Did you go for one? And based of the vid which did you like? I love the older model but some of the songs I think did sound better with the new light one
@MattHooker3 жыл бұрын
I have the older one and I do like it, especially the consistent sound through most of the range without having to do any crazy tongue-fu. but the subholes are not easy for me, especially being new to ocarina.
@fabianwhs98913 жыл бұрын
I personally like the sound of the newer model better, when it comes to the examples played in the video.

i picked the newer model up as my first ceramic one. i gotta agree on hitting the high F. got to blow a bit harder to get it without the acute bend. but i'm still a beginner (not for long, thanks to you)

I remember getting the original OoT from STL in like 2010 as a gift and it mesmerized me at the time. I'd love to try the new model out!
@0The_Farlander0 Жыл бұрын
I've never owned an ocarina but looked up reviews to get a gauge of if stl was a good company to give my money to. I know that wasn't the intent of the video, but it definitely answered all my questions in that regard and I'll be getting one from them soon
@jamesl80533 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the comparison, I was curious on the differences each sound would make given the alterations made and can hear the updated version plays some songs better, the song of healing is night and day and the update wins it for me the original has a slight edge on the lost woods though, but having larger hands means I'd be more suited to the original i feel, although learning the song of healing is one of my main goals.

Second one has a good sound for the Zelda songs, which I feel is important. The cramped grip and the cheap looking Triforce do weaken the newer one though.

@historicalaccuracy153 жыл бұрын
Just now trying to get back into ocarinas after my brief attempts at it before and ngl if I get into this enough to buy one of these I might be looking at another company just because of that. I used to really want STL's because it looked so good but as good as it may look on its own now this new one just isn't as good as the old in looks and just doesn't really seem like a real ocarina of time imho
@historicalaccuracy153 жыл бұрын
Honestly if they just kept the same nice shiny band from before I'd probably not have any problem with it but just that change alone makes it look kinda cheap imho
@ArtemisDalmasca Жыл бұрын
Not gonna lie, the new one being smaller would almost be a win for me currently. Mostly cause I've been looking around to see if I can find a smaller AC 12 hole for my son to play, without it going into a soprano ocarina lol. My son is 6 though, so I'm not gonna be spending $60 for a ceramic ocarina for him yet

Your son's gonna be a pretty awesome and well rounded person because the ocarina is a awesome skill to have. Music will make him friends wherever he goes 💪

Thank you for the review David! It was really good. I personally don't like ergonomics of old one. Cappello looks too small to be usable. But new one is even worse. There's no space for fingers to rest on high notes. And angle of the cappello is kinda awkward to hold. It may seem not so important but ocarinas with good ergonomics are more convenient to play.

I just ordered an STL ocarina after being doused with nostalgia while playing ocarina of time, I hope it's as good as the reviews say
@Jeffkanku3 жыл бұрын
I would prefer the updated one. It’s much less airy. Although the old one is more true to the shape of the ocarina of time. It is more cramped and that could be an issue with practicing which is why I don’t practice on my Hind altos as much. I only play pieces I already know on them. The more space I have the easier I learn I guess.

Hey, David! Thanks for this great video! I have a question that is a little unrelated to the subject matter of this video. I love your Zelda septet covers, and was wondering about all the ranges of ocarinas you have. To be specific, what's that large base one that looks like an acorn, and where did you get it? Thanks!
@DavidErickRamos3 жыл бұрын
Hey Max, I talked about the ranges I use a bit in my recent video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5q0hYKlebOrn5I But to answer your question, the big one is a C7/Contrabass C by Claudio Colombo from Italy

I remember getting the original for Christmas many years ago because of your videos I believe too, loved the little thing, I'm an adult with a job now so I might nab the new one, more accurate visually, and i have small hands The original was my first (and only) ocarina so far so I'm not really confident enough in the instrument to give my thoughts, i just know it annoyed my dad when I played it because I struggled to produce a clear tone without being loud

The old model is too airy for an alto C throughout the majority of the range for my taste. I like the airy tone on base G or base F ocarinas, but alto C and above i prefer a clearer tone.
