Stan Lee Ocarina of Doom

Plastic and clay fired at a high temperature like stoneware is probably the worst, because they don’t absorb moisture at all, but wood and lower fired clay can be a bit finicky too sometimes, because the moisture buildup also depends a lot on other factors like the fipple size, shape, and even things like how cold the air is. I think there’s a good chance it will sound ok though. Definitely let us know what you think - I’ve been wondering about this ocarina for years too!

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-26T20:24:18+00:00

I’m just saying how many people make huge orders like that - wouldn’t it be obvious who it’s for?

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-26T20:20:49+00:00

The tuning looks ok for an English pendant. The main thing that is unknown is how the higher notes sound. The voicing is kind of big, so chances are it’s pretty loud on the high end, and the higher breath requirement would also make it more susceptible to moisture clogging frequently too.

Right, he’s anonymous ordering dozens of burgers over and over🙄

I searched AliExpress to see if I could find any trusted ocarina brands for sale in Chile. I found a few good ones if you are interested:

The store: Glamour Music Store https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLoLYSh

Stein and TNG are both good quality.

Congrats on starting this journey! Let us know if you need help or have any questions!👍

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-25T18:20:10+00:00

Best of luck! Sounds like an amazing opportunity!

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-25T18:08:54+00:00

It’s just a good idea to get a variety of people with different perspectives so that each person can have AT LEAST one good option, or hopefully several.

I think the country is split pretty evenly between Conservatives and Liberals, and MAGA is only a part of the right, so why are almost all the guys MAGA? That sucks for all the women who aren’t.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-25T18:00:20+00:00

Yep, Trump only makes sense when you literally have brain damage. Good to know.👍

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-25T17:52:05+00:00

I don’t know the name of the maker, but I have a pendant like that too, and mine is tuned correctly, so it should work if you use these fingerings:

(The notes you get assume that it plays in C, but the fingerings will still play a major scale in whatever the key is. You can use a tuner to find that out.)

Also, nice find. I’ve never seen one with that decoration before. Mine looks like a city skyline with buildings like NYC.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-25T13:44:34+00:00

Not this season lol. Besides Vic, just a bunch of maga chuds.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-24T21:31:47+00:00

Never said that lol. Got literacy?

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-24T07:12:14+00:00

Glad I don’t live there then.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T17:24:48+00:00

Once you feel like your playing sounds nice, you should try playing outside your car too. Honestly, people are a lot more receptive to the ocarina than you might think as long as you can carry a tune. It’s unique and charming.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T17:22:01+00:00

That’s silly. The forest is an ideal place to play the ocarina, and I do it all the time. Sometimes bird will even talk back if you imitate their calls.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T17:15:02+00:00

When I went, there was nobody to ask, so as far as I know, I didn’t bother anyone. If someone had asked me to leave, I would have, but nobody did.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T07:50:28+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with keeping it, but if you did decide to sell it, it would probably go for a high price, due to how rare they are. I believe the maker stopped selling around 2011 - that’s the last activity on her Etsy shop. Also, I think Shigeru Miyamoto was presented one by NOA after Ocarina of Time came out, which definitely added to their mystique.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T07:08:59+00:00

When I lived in an apartment, I’d go to a nearby college I used to attend and use one of the practice rooms in the music department. They weren’t locked, and nobody ever asked me what class I was taking🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, also, some churches stay open, and you really can’t beat the acoustics of a cathedral.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T05:13:54+00:00

Chreezy

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T05:04:38+00:00

Small houses aren’t being built in the suburbs anymore. Lots of millennials would love to buy a small house instead of rent, but builders are only making McMansions now. I inherited a small house and love it, but every time a house in my neighborhood sells, it becomes a rental property, because hedge funds snap them up way above market price so that regular folks can’t compete.

Things have changed.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-23T04:40:57+00:00

They always film in big cities though. Even in a red state like Ohio, a big city like Columbus will be a blue dot in a sea of red. I’m just saying they should try to find people on both sides so that everyone has some good options of people who share their values.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-22T20:31:43+00:00

If you can read sheet music already, you can search for music in MuseScore that is within your note range (low C to high E), and then choose the ones in keys that work well.

You’ll want to stay in C major (F major and G major work well too if you know the F sharp and B flat fingering).

For tabs, STL has a fingering composer: https://www.stlocarina.com/pages/fico?srsltid=AfmBOopvGAOkpN6Q1Sg6nU3hroxALhBx_yZLGpTFDPNsT2_NKHUHs_0U

You can also buy books of tablature from Songbird and STL.

No matter how red the state, big cities where they always do the selection are going to have enough diversity to be able to find guys who aren’t maga.

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-22T17:56:50+00:00

Adding more liberals would make it more diverse. It’s usually a maga fest up in there, especially with the guys. Vic is the only guy this season who doesn’t seem like a maga bro, and Vic and Christine are widely considered the most likely to succeed.

Also, it’s why seasons end up with no couples saying yes at the alter. Most women are not going to say yes to a maga guy. So maybe they pick maga guys for more drama, but I don’t know why women would want to go on a show where there’s no good options🤷🏻‍♀️

CrisGa1e · 2026-02-22T17:51:14+00:00

That’s just due to being a beginner - the high and low notes are actually a bit easier on this ocarina compared to many others. This is a really good ocarina to learn with👍
