This is very interesting. Had no idea that this kind of instrument exists. Sounds ancient & beautiful.

Dude... I'm literally almost to tears cause ur so awesome at this and I luv your videos! Keep it up man! God called you to do this!

That solo at 19:48 was amazing!

Happy anniversary, David! I've been watching this channel since about '08. Big thanks for introducing me to the Ocarina. Definitely looking forward to the return of OcTalk. I wouldn't be playing today if it weren't for those videos.

About to pick the ocarina back up again (i used to play a few years back, and unfortunately due to moving I've lost my two ocarinas). Really excited you're bringing OcTalk back! I'm likely going to order a 12 Hole Tenor since it seems like the best option to start off with, although I'm having a little trouble finding an affordable one that isn't plastic. Thanks for all the help DocJazz

I love this video. This was so helpful to me in navigating the world of ocarinas. I just got my first 7 hole ocarina and am teaching myself how to play. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to so many, myself included. 💖

I've watched your videos for a long time and I just recently got an ocarina of my own. You definitely influenced my decision to get one and start playing. So, I'm very excited to see what this year has in store for your channel!

Your videos got me started a couple months ago and I've been watching the previous OcTalks, so thank you for bringing them back. :-)

David! your videos are so much fun! Keep on playing!

Thanks for all the years of putting joy into your work!

I just recently got a ocarina and came across your video's..I watch them everyday and I've learned so much. Im a huge zelda fan and was stoked to see you had lots of videos about how to play zelda songs! I hope to one day get as good as you are..Keep posting!

I'm a little late to the party but I just wanted to share with you the my overwhelming gratitude. I was never interested in musical instruments until I started watching your videos and now I've become addicted to learning how to play ocarinas so thanks for everything!

david i LOVED!!! the second to last harmony ocarina! and the song you played was very cheerful and nice

I love your work man! Your my inspiration for playing ocarina! I've recently bought my own zelda replica and learned a lot from your vids! Keep up the good work!

I just purchased myself a seedpod ocarina soprano c and I can't wait to play with it! I too got interested in ocarina playing through your channel. The first ever video I watched was your Crossing Field cover. From there I WAS HOOKED! Thank you for sharing!

So good to see you posting videos a little more often again. Your the first youtuber I watched.

Yeah! OcTalk is back :D Time to start practising again after giving up when the series ended :) Can't wait for the next episode!! It was your first OcTalk episode who made me buy 3 ocarinas the whole way from America to Norway :D

I ordered a ocarina and I wasn't very interested but I seen your channel and I didn't know there were so many different types of ocarinas now I am practicing each day all thanks to you and you have helped me a lot thank you!

Wowwww!!!! Wonderful collection! I love the multichambers! And all th big ones are very impressive!

I was trying to figure out if my ocarina was anything of quality, and I was surprised to hear you mention it at the end. Songbird's Triforce ocarina was given to me as a gift and it's my first one, I'm happy that it holds up as a good instrument.

Haha I loved the music you played with your Soprano wooden double, ocarinas are really awesome :D

Happy anniversary David!

I had seen your videos earlier this year (2017) and found I wanted an ocarina. I asked my Grammie to get me one and later, had forgotten I even asked. I asked about march/April. Now, itch Christmas Day and I am already using mine. My Grammie did remember and got me the EXACT one I sent her. Thank you for inspiring me to get one! Now I have a secondary instrument and I love playing it! Oh, btw, you earned a new subscriber. 😊

that's sooo cool! i also love that u have a totoro shirt as well as a doctor who poster

I received a focalink ocarina for christmas today! It sounds beautiful thank you so much for your video on them!

Go David! More great adventures to come!

Happy New year's my brother #respect

I've got a 12-hole Alto C Ocarina in Zelda Edition. It's out of ceramic. I'm very contended with it and I can play some pieces on it. The thing is: I got it because of you. Thank you, David. Your "Choosing your first Ocarina" video convinced me to get an ocarina, and now I'm learning to play it. Also this video is great! If it's about design, (from all of the ocarinas you introduced) I would choose the Dragon Tooth Ocarina. Looks brilliant.

I love your videos man! Keep doing good work,like always! And you should do tutorials for Sadness and sorrow,and Can you feel the love tonight! I would really love that.. But still, Happy anniversary! (Sorry bc of my bad english,its not my primary language.. But hopely you understand even half of my text)

Happy anniversary! I wouldn't have been playing ocarina if it wasn't for your videos :) Great to see you are making your OcTalks again, they were really helpful when I started. As for new topics in your coming videos, I would personally love to see a a tutorial on how you can end the tones properly. Whenever I do finish a melody, I seem to think my tones ends pretty flat. Is there a trick for when you stop blowing into the ocarina?

I have the tenor Zelda replica that was shown at the beginning it's my first one (and only so far) and its thanks to you that I wanted it I just love your videos they're really good I jut wish I could play more often but my dad gets annoyed by it eventually so...anyways keep up the good work and I hope I can get more ocarinas cause they're awesome! Also I was self taught playing mine so those OcTalk episodes will be very useful to see if I'm doing it right

I'm glad to see you back in action. Btw i'm one of those who got inspired and learned from your videos ;) About what i'd like to see in OcTalk: You once made a video about tremolo (by just breathing) and started introducing the concept, but didn't really get to how to actually do it. Back then you said you'd make a second video about it to continue, but never got to it. Or i just couldn't find the video. Or i could just be completely misremembering. Anyway, a video on tremolo would be neat.

I would be delighted to find out how to read and write my own ocarina tabs.

omg the clear high tunes are gorgeous

I got my Ocarina as soon as I got into zelda ocarina of time before I watch these videos. I didn't know how to play well before watching all these videos, thank you for showing me the light and for showing me the joy of songs.

I'm considering getting the Focalink Forte Alto C Double ocarina or the Double Alto C Zelda replica in clay from Stl. Do you know which one of them needs more breath? I prefer one with less breath requirements. Thank you :)

No one in my family know how to play the ocarina, but when I found you on youtube, I can play anything.

David Erick Ramos Is a plastic 7-hole Zelda replica Ocarina from Songbird a good choice for a cheap starting ocarina? It seems to be the best for the price.

For OcTalk, I would like to see a video all about ocarina guilds. How to join one, who to contact, any prerequisites, etc. Also, a video on plastic ocarinas would be awesome as well. Such as where to find them, which ones are quality, and other general tips on them.

I currently use a 12 hole ocarina, and I think I'm ready to go to a double ocarina, but I'm not sure how they (for a lack of better words) work. Is it okay if you create a video on double ocarinas? And possibly triple if there's time.

@Amaiguri

9 жыл бұрын

On the double chamber that I have, there are two separate mouth pieces. You play it like a standard 12-hole and when you get to the top of the scale, you slide over to the other mouth piece and then play with only one of the hands as you hit the final, upper notes. If you get one, it's pretty easy to see how you play it, if you know how to play a transverse. Good luck!

That second one from the end is brilliant. I want one now.

I currently have 3 ocarinas: a 12hole inspired by the elves from Lord of the Rings, a Legend of Zelda themed double, and a plastic triple. I will never do plastic again! As soon as I get the slightest bit of moisture built up inside, I lose a good majority of my notes. My favourite is actually my double. I have heard you can play chords by playing both halves of the double at the same time. I don't know if that's true or not. If it is I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I think my next ocarina might be a wood one. They seem to produce lovely sounds and I think they're more durable than ceramic ones. I'm glad to see that OcTalk is coming back. I particularly enjoyed your "how to play" videos where you took a song (often times Zelda songs) and showed exactly how to play it. Can't wait to see more videos!

That last one sounds really, really cool.

Hi David, I was watching your videos yesterday and it really made me want to but an ocarina. I did today and I'm so excited. Thank you very much for inspiring me. wish me luck and when I get good I will tag you in a video on twitter to let you know how I am doing. thank you. and good luck

I bought a bunch of ocarinas cause I first started watching your videos a few months ago. You're what *Linked* my love of Legend of Zelda to the ocarina world (get it cause link...no..? ok.. .-. ) .. and I thank you for that ~.^ and you've got to stop breaking your ocarinas XD... Also I wonder what technique is used when making ocarinas that allows you to blow the same amount from low to high, I was thinking the higher the note, the thicker the ocarina is in that region anyway thank you very much again for your videos and inspiration, happy early birthday

Nice vid man congrats on such a successful youtube channel not many people can make it to where u are at :D keep up the good work!!!! P.S what was that song/tune with the harmony ocarina? It sounded so beautiful!!!!!

The last ocarina is amazing !

Octalk suggestion: What are the the pros and cons of each sub hole style, and in your opinion, which one is better?

Love your videos man! Started reading music and some of your stuff by ear too. I am curious where you got your double ocarina though. I've been looking for one but cant find any. Hope to see more videos and a Happy New Years to you!

Wow alto c sweet potato and turtleburg are my favourite I love how the turtleburg has a soft passionate feel to it but a bit big for my taste I think I'll get the sweet potato for my first ocarina it has both the high and low notes I like but isn't crazy high. thanks for the video it's what got me interested in the ocarina :)

man I use to watch you since the beggining nice to know how you turned out :D

I definitely have to say chamber switching is my problem area. Between smoothly transitioning, and trying to make the high notes I just chamber switched for sound pure, I have tons of trouble. I have a Double Ocarina of Time from Songbird and it is very beautiful. But because of chamber switching I feel my high notes sound pitchy and very unstable. A video on this would help myself and a lot of others out! Thanks for all the wonderful videos David. One of my favorite things to do is sit down with my Ocarina while watching your videos. (With some cookies and soda of course!)

This is great my new ocarina is coming in on tuesday and im just starting

YES!! MORE OCTALK!!!!!!!

loved the rendition of beer barrel on the contrabass C

I am glad I found you c: if I didn't, I would just be a noob to my instrument, once I get it Cx Keep doing what you do !

I'd be really interested in a video (or be directed to any videos you already have), on the topic of basic music theory. I'm completely new to this so when you were talking alto-c and whatnot, I really didn't know what you were talking about.

Um, when you can and if you want to, I just got a new triple ocarina and love your OcTalk videos. So if you could do a tutorial on triple ocarinas please. That would be amazing! :D
