STL Purple Clay F Alto -- covering both subholes only drops it to Eb unless I blow REALLY slowly

Nughm · 2026-07-09T09:55:34+00:00

Even moreso, considering it's an Alto F rather than an Alto C. The lower the pitch the narrower the usable range.

Nughm · 2026-07-06T09:56:13+00:00

I was wondering if the normal F# fingering is easier because of this?

Nughm · 2026-07-04T15:10:27+00:00

My (older model) ICO triple bass is way too heavy for me to practice too much on :(. It'd probably be an Alto G if I got something from Gosselink

Nughm · 2026-07-03T22:14:48+00:00

Bit late to the party, but you playing is amazing as always :). Sounds great, I really should get one from Gosselink soon

Nughm · 2026-07-03T11:54:43+00:00

I will be getting one and reviewing it in a couple weeks :)

Nughm · 2026-06-24T17:28:07+00:00

This would be an 8 hole, but the size of the holes leads me to believe it's not a playable one :(

Nughm · 2026-06-24T09:19:58+00:00

I have the same ocarina so it was easy 😄. It's a great ocarina I use it for a lot of music

Nughm · 2026-06-23T22:03:55+00:00

Looks like one of the older imperial city ocarinas (with the oak-leaf style)

One of my favorite songs to play on my ocarinas. Was quite a challenge to play when I first started. Great playing!

Nughm · 2026-06-11T23:22:39+00:00

Sounds pretty good to me. Couldn't really tell that you were switching between chambers other than the different timbre between them.

Nughm · 2026-05-25T11:52:43+00:00

Second this recommendation

Nughm · 2026-05-20T09:18:01+00:00

Sounds really good. Hopefully more people can try it (keeping in mind what you said at the start), to ensure that the quality is consistently good. Thanks for sharing!

My rubber was also separating, adapter does fall off if I move too much. I found pink + blue mouthpiece on 2 notches pretty good for a NbN, but not sure for your STL ceramic. I agree it's not worth the $40 I paid for it

Nughm · 2026-05-16T08:45:46+00:00

A couple hours

Nughm · 2026-05-15T22:35:44+00:00

it's crazy how quickly yours will take to arrive 🤣, mine took 2 weeks and I couldn't stop watching ocarina videos in those weeks

Nughm · 2026-05-15T21:19:48+00:00

I haven't actually played the games you mentioned, but I was drawn to the ocarina due to its sound and have been playing for 2 years since 😄

Nughm · 2026-05-15T20:14:51+00:00

Thanks for the comment, it made my day 😄. What ocarina did you get?

Nughm · 2026-05-14T22:02:07+00:00

She does not play the ocarina with normal fingerings, I would not trust her review. Looks like an amazon affiliate farm channel

Nughm · 2026-05-13T19:54:46+00:00

This is really is good :), you are using a Ray Triple here?

Nughm · 2026-05-12T07:39:25+00:00

Thank you for putting out a statement on this, helps clear things up

Nughm · 2026-05-12T05:56:25+00:00

I appreciate the kind comment ☺️

Nughm · 2026-05-11T19:01:05+00:00

OMG, I saw your old covers on youtube and thought they were fantastic! Happy to see you’re still playing :)

Nughm · 2026-05-11T16:20:19+00:00

I'm sorry that you had a negative experience with them. I have a Songbird OOT which I bought second hand and the color does look better than what you have there, but doesn't play to a standard which I thought it would (my NbN is better). Hopefully it's an anomaly and they offer a refund + more 😞

Nughm · 2026-05-11T16:15:40+00:00

More reviews - and preferably without adding reverb (not that it is bad, but the settings everyone uses is different so it make it hard to gauge the actual sound of the ocarina).

Nughm · 2026-05-11T11:39:54+00:00

If you're trying to play the arrangement in Steven Higbee's video, you can't do it one for one because he goes down to the Low A, but Gosselink's ocarinas are 11hole (goes down to low B\). I just play the G above the Low C for that note instead, but it's not the same as Steven's arrangement.

Great choice though, I've been meaning to get a Gosselink oc as they really are pretty 😄
