Cheap vs. 'Expensive' Ocarinas 🎶 #ocarinaoftime #ocarina #comparison #zelda

The $10 sounds like it's on the very edge of a nervous breakdown, constantly looking behind its shoulder

[xenonabaki]

How does a $15 ocarina sound more off tune then a $10 one

[laurenmontgomery]

Man, that 10$ ocarina was surprisingly in-tune when compared to the 15$ one

[duckbillwill_]

the 15 dollar red one sounds like what they used to do the end of the spongebob themesong

[Armbrust]

The 15$ Ocarina is actually *perfect*

For horror movies

[TheChumBucket]

Is Just me or the $60 option just sounds so clean

[Mr_Wiley]

That 15 dollar one came in limping and concussed

If anyone is wondering, they mainly sound different due to material type. The expensive ones are made outta things like ceramic, meanwhile the cheap ones are plastic.
Depending on material, the sound will travel different because of how it travels/interacts with the material.

Its like a plastic recorder and an actual recorder

[Griffinx]

The blue cheap one was actually pretty good. Passable until you’re ready to buy the more expensive one and you get a head start on learning

[regulareric]

Being a nerd about gaming stuff is one thing, but being able to play the actual instrument is actually pretty cool.

[FM]

Playing on that blue one for $60 is You ate it UP with Lost Woods

[MrRazzio]

the $10 one actually sounded pretty decent for the price.

[superluigi]

Thank you Zelda for teaching me the existence of such a cool instrument

[MYE_mye.]

The cheap blue one is actually really great for a beginner or a person with a budget

[imaran]

I swear! That Zelda tune hit me square in the face with Nostalgia. That shit had me reeling.

[ryoushimorino]

The expensive ones were definitely the best but that plastic blue one really didn't sound that bad

[CharleyAdventures]

Oh no, I have the sudden urge to spend all my time and money into getting an ocarina and learning the Clock Town theme. It's just so perfect

[JG-vhxc]

The plastic ones give a more airy quality rather than the silky smooth tones of the normal ones

[TheLastDose]

These cheap ones could make great meme reals of things going wrong in playthroughs 😂

This actually illustrates a point I love making about cheap instruments. There's an obvious quality difference between the two but, in the hands of someone as skilled as you are, you at least make them sound passable. So much of an instrument's value lies in finding what sounds can be coaxed out of it after getting to know it. In the hands of someone like you, they still manage to sound like playable instruments, capable of being performed on.
