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!

I just received my Maparam ocarinas today. Oh boy am I VERY pleased! These are my favourite ocarinas now. Enjoy the review :-) Available: www.maparam.kr To watch a very good performance with Maparam ocarinas, check out Willy: youtube.com

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

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!

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!

Classes and exams are over so finally, after all these months, another video. I've been wanting to record this song for some time now, so here it is! The song is called 'Onara', sheet music and backtrack can be found on theocarinanetwork.com Thanks for watching!

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! =)

Fake Wings Maparam Double Alto ocarina Menoname 27

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. ;)

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)

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.

I always wanted to learn this song, I think it's beautiful! The backtrack is quite simple, I know, but better than nothing. This is the first song I played on my new Maparam double. Still having difficulties switching between the chambers.. :-/ Practicing, practicing, practicing... :)

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.

Here is me playing the popular song "First Love" by Utada Hikaru. This sure is another one of my favourite songs (brings me memories of my first love =/ ). I thoroughly enjoyed playing this song on the ocarina. I used the Maparam Triple Ocarina here. Maparam: www.maparam.kr ps: Don't mind my mightyicecream hair xD I woke up like that~! Hmm, youtube seems to have stuffed up the timing between the video and the sound -_-"

Here's my first song uploaded using the Triple ocarina! I've only had the Triple Ocarina for 2 days now, so this performance isn't very good. I am still needing to get used to it lol. Please also listen to the video that I video-responsed to. It is played by my korean friend who is far more experienced at ocarinas than I. He played the same song with the same ocarina (Maparam Triple). A review is coming up (with Mightyicecream!) Maparam Ocarinas: www.maparam.kr

Ever since I started the ocarina, being able to play this song seemed like such a fantasy. After a couple of days of practice, I have finally decided to upload my first attempt at this song. Since I am still practicing the song, please don't mind the mistakes. I will work on perfecting this song for the future =D Much thanks to Willy, who was the first person to play this song on Triple ocarina.

I finally took the time to make a video where all my ocarinas are featured, side by side, just the way they are. I hope it may help to give people an idea of how each of my current ocarinas are.

Professional quality) -OK (A playable ocarina that is decent to good quality) -Not Good (Playable, but not recommended) -Bad (An ocarina that is not playable) note: These are based on my personal opinions and preferences, so don't take it as absolute!

I spent my New Years with my church at camp! One morning, I woke up early to take a look at the New Years morning landscape, and thought it would be such a pity not to make a video with this lovely view. It was a completely on-the-spot job. I had to play the song by ear, and only had time to record on the first go (Thus I don't seem to be playing the notes of the original song). I did manage to wake up the people at camp for morning though :-) This is the Maparam Double Ocarina: www.maparam.kr Hope you enjoy! Location: Golden Valleys Lodge, VIC, Australia.

This song is one of my favourite ocarina songs to listen to. It is ocarina music composed by Aketagawa Shoji for the Alto C, Sop-G and Sop-C ocarina, or the Triple ocarina. Big thanks to Mr. Pankuolong and Mr. Kokor for helping out with the back-music. I transposed it to the key of F, since the fingerings are easy. I'll play the original version (in G) when I'm better at the Triple ocarina. I have had the Triple Ocarina for 3 days now. Maparam Ocarinas: www.maparam.kr

This is another song that I was inspired to play from the great ocarinist Osawa Satoshi, whom I look up to. I played it by ear from listening to his performance. I'm not entirely happy with this recording, since it's a first attempt - so I hope to record a better version in future! The song is from a Korean drama (겨울연가 - Winter Sonata) that made its millions of viewers burst into tears..including me.
