I'm Realgenericfilms, call me RGF. At the MN Renaissance festival, John Coiner pottery had them for a low price. Knowing the Zelda game, I pounced. The sound is a bit uneven but good, pics later. Anyways, that was 5th grade, now going into 8th grade I start using this site for my ocarina stuff, after getting bored at the nonexistant community of Songbird's song writers. Yeah, I'm good and can play by ear. I'm currently working on TTFAF, and can do Bohemian Rhapsody. See ya shortly!

wel, i share a 6 hole pendant with my brother that we got at a renaissance fair (scarborough). i was able to play songs like the theme to Harry Potter pretty quick so i'm looking to get a 12 hole and then a double after that. then....maybe a triple???

Hi

My name is Roy, I'm an Army Medic serving in Iraq right now.

I have been messing around with the ocarina for a couple years now. I own a 5 hole Songbird Zelda Oc, a polycarbonate G and C Mountain Ocs. I also recently ordered a 6 hole Focalink Seed Pod Alto C from Songbird yesterday. I'm not very good, but I have a lot of fun trying, I can play a couple songs now, nothing fancy.

Studying ancient cultures is a hobby of mine, and I got interested in the ocarina because of the popularity of flutes and vessels flutes in various cultures around the world. I've tried flutes and tin whistles with no luck, the Oc's are much easier for me so they are what I'm sticking with. I also play around with ukulele and autoharp.

Sorry, I guess I've done things backwards - I should have posted here when I joined instead of going straight to tabs & sheet music.
I've been collecting ocarinas for quite a few years, but I've only been playing regularly for the last year or so. Like PonderWolf, I came into the ocarina world through ancient cultures (I'm a grad student in linguistics). My first vessel flutes were a Peruvian six-hole ocarina and a xun from a Chinese temple. The one I play these days is a six-hole English pendant.

Hello
You all know me as Elukka and I've played ocarina for about 2 or 3 years. My first ocarina was STL alto C and after some time I bought my second one and its STL double. I'm 17 years old. Now I play ocarina in youtube with nic Elukka92. Also I'm part of TON. :roll:
