The Sweet Potato Ocarina, key of C4-D5, is a replica of the actual Ocarina of Time from the Legend of Zelda series from Nintendo. It is approximately 5 inches in length.

This ocarina is not a plastic toy or merely a collector's item, but a hand-crafted and tuned musical instrument made with loving care by musicians, from the highest quality kiln-fired ceramic.

The Sweet Potato comes in two ranges, Sweet Potato and Extended Range Sweet Potato. The range of the Sweet Potato is an octave +1 whole tone (14 notes).The range of the Extended Range Sweet Potato is an octave +4 (17 notes). The Sweet Potato has 1 thumb hole under-neath, the Extended Range has 2.

The XL model is deeper sounding than the other models, and has the same range as the Extended Range Sweet Potato.

My price is going to be around 50 US Dollars.

Alto, key of C3-E4, is the most popular size of ocarina, and mixes easily with other instruments. A Songbook/Tutorial and adjustable Necklace are included.

This ocarina was produced by Zack Shih of Focalink, based in Taiwan. His instruments are of exceptional quality and are suitable for professionals and amateurs.

The note range of the Soprano is an octave and a third.
This one's going to be around 25 to 30 US Dollars.

I imagine they will be about the same to be played, and I was told its a nice beginner Ocarina. If I get the higher priced one, and I give up on it(Which I doubt but there is a small chance.) then it will just be a collectible.

I also play guitar, but that barely has anything to do with wind instruments. (I have some knowledge of how to play music.)

So, what would be the smartest thing to do?

I like the second one. You can wear it on your neck and play in public. (to get money!!! ) LOL.

 

[Nightray]

The first one!

1st one looks better.

I do like that feature. But, I do like my Legend of Zelda! <3

Edit: The site's FAQ said "A songbook is included with each Ocarina." That's a nice plus!

Eziooo is having same
Problem.
Eziooo is thinking the second one since it is cheaper.

You plan to order one too?

I'm starting to lean in that direction too.

Oh, and some examples.

[deathparty666]

which do you think sounds better?

 

[Nic]

The first one. It is blue and shows the symbol of the triforce. But you always have to see which one is loud and does it sound good or awful I would check with the people selling them or people who actually have them.

 

[gerardo781]

I think you should get a real instrument no offense.

An ocarina IS a real instrutment.
It's not a fanmade thing from Zelda.

 

[Zachary]

I have decided to go with the cheaper one, because of its sound. Maybe one day I can get a Zelda Replica too, when I will be better.

Now, I need about 25 bucks. : /

Depnds on if you like Zelda or not.

Depnds on if you like Zelda or not.

I've already decided, and I love the music in the games, and plan to learn the songs. First on my list is Song of Healing.

NOOO!!!!!

Learn the Song of Storms.

 

[Vooloo]

The ocarina looks pretty cool and the music from it is cool too, and I play the clarinet (which IS related to wind instuments) so if I'm allowed to, I'll buy the second one once I get five or ten more dollars.

Song of healing is my favorite of all time Zelda song.

Oh, and Hatsumiku, I use to play Tuba(It may have been something else but it was huge...) in band.
