New Ocarina! Maparam Triple!


I just got my Maparam Triple ocarina in the mail today! I recorded the very first notes that I played on it! I also compared the sound to my Night Alto C ocarina. Finally, I tried playing a short song that I wrote for the ocarina. I sped up the part where I'm just opening the box because it was just boring. I also speak very quietly most of the time, so you may have to turn up the volume to hear me. At the very end, the sound isn't as clear because of the angle I'm playing at. It sounds much better when held more horizontal. I was leaning downward quite a bit. After making this video, I continued to play for 4 more hours!

Review Maparam and Focalink Double Alto C


Well then, first ever review. *Please forgive my grammar and pronouncement. Ye gods I need to practice my English.* This is a comparison between the Focalink and the Maparam Double Alto C Ocarinas. Though I recommend the Maparam, the Focalink one is 100 USD cheaper. But anyway, I hope you guys enjoy my review even though it's a long one. I even had to separate the sound samples from the rest. It's be a video response to this though, so please check that one out too if you're interested in these ocarinas. Something I forgot to say in the review is: Both ocarinas are tuned in the key of C, same as a piano. More videos to check out about these ocarinas: Focalink: www.youtube.com He's got a great review along with other videos with the Double. Maparam: www.youtube.com He's got a lot of Maparams, but check out his review of the Double: www.youtube.com Also visit Ocarinasunited.org and the all new Theocarinanetwork.com In retrospect, trying to review and compare both instruments on the first ever review was a bit foolhardy. Boy, hindsight is always 20/20. :P

Maparam Alto C Ocarina Review


www.maparam.kr modea=eng See website for details. This instrument has 13 diatonic notes in range and will play all notes between making it fully chromatic. A review of my Maparam. Just to recap, I wasn't sure about this ocarina at first but this ocarina wants me to like it and I can see that. I am getting better at using it and I am starting to see the reward. Certainly worth the effort to get one! I am not sure you get that textured sound in the recording, but it is there. Rememebr that most ocarinas are hand made so there will be some varaince within a certain model...in other words another maparam alto c may sound a bit different to this one. Personally I think that's part of the charm. As always keep in mind a microphone will rarely do justice to the actual sound of an instrument. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any! Enjoy!

Maparam Double Ocarina Review


This is a quick review of my Maparam Double Ocarina that I've had for a week now. I wish that I had somewhere better to record, as my room has bad acoustics. The ocarina wasn't warmed up well when I played the song at the end, so it doesn't sound at its best :-( I hope this review is helpful for you if you're considering ocarinas :-) These are the best ocarinas I've used yet! Maparam Ocarinas Available: www.maparam.kr ps: I was quite tired when I was playing that song at the end xD You can see me almost falling asleep, lol!

Fake Wings on Maparam double Alto C ocarina


Song: Fake Wings from .hack//sign Arranged by: au.youtube.com (sheet music and backtrack. Visit theocarinanetwork.com for more information) The first song I recorded with my new Maparam double AC. The sound of the ocarina is (even) more beautiful in real life I have recorded this with the mic in my laptop, I don't have any professional recording equipment. Hope you enjoy it anyway and let me know what you think! =)

Yeonriji on Maparam Double AC ocarina


Song: Yeonriji This is one of my favorite songs on the ocarina. The sound is raw (no reverb added, even though the acoustics in my room are horrible), the backtrack was added after recording the ocarina. I'm not 100% pleased with this version, but I've uploaded it anyway. Maybe I'll re-record it some day. ;)

Maparam STL Ocarina Comparison


Since I am starting to get used to my Maparam, I figure I would compare it to my STL Purple Clay, to help people wanting a good quality ocarina make a decision. I hope this review helps you decide on which of these two to get. Also, I forgot to mention that the Purple Clay ocarina does improve over time, though its not a great deal, there is some improvement. It does absorb moisture as some of the finger holes are darkening. EDIT: (Although on further contemplation of this, it could have been nothing more than me getting used to the ocarina and playing it better)

Village Rain on Maparam Triple


This is the first time I've recorded the audio and video separately, so hopefully the sync wasn't too off. This is me playing Village Rain, its my first upload in a LONG time. I will start doing them more frequently, I hope. I ordered a Hind Bass C, so be on the look out for that in the future. This was the last recording on my CAD U1 microphone, right before it malfunctioned.

Time to upload a new vid. I suppose. This time it's Epona's Song, one of the more beautiful songs from Ocarina of Time. It's a shame I don't have a girl singing, someone playing the guitar, a few cows and a couple more years of training. But in my defense, I've got a marginally proper hat.
