Songbird ocarina rgb7/22/2023 Unlike other harmony ocarinas on the market, the SDH's chambers are tuned 1 ocative apart. The Soprano side likewise is bright and birdlike but not as shrill as one would think. The tone of the alto chamber is reminiscent of Focalinks "Allegro" model ocarina as far as it's standard yet solid tone. Simply put, if you have any experience with English Pendant ocarinas, you're more than halfway to learning the fingering of a SDH. It's like if an English Pendant and an Inline ocarina had a baby. The Songbird Double Harmony's fingering is. ^^ Ouch!įINGERING: (I know I usually don't mention this with my other reviews but with this particular Oc, this needs mentioning.) There are rings for you to place you thumbs against which support the ocarina's weight while playing but you should be careful during long play sessions to protect against the rings digging into your thumbs. So needless to say, proper and mindful caution should be taken until you get the feel of things. WEARABILITY: The SDH comes with a pleasant leather neck strap (and to my knowledge a custom carry case) You can opt for a fancier neck strap if you so choose but I wouldn't.Īs far as the feel of it in your hands, this is NOT an ocarina for beginners or those with a sheepish grip! Being a "sprouted' style ocarina, the two chambers branch out from each other and are connected by about a one inch span of clay that attaches the mouth pieces together. (kinda like men and women: neither is better or worse, just different. Not to say that this is a bad ocarina: It's just DIFFERENT. But Is that is the case with the Songbird Double Harmony Ocarina? Let's take a look.įirst off, I will say that if you've never had a "Harmony" ocarina before, I'd go so far as to say this one probably shouldn't be your first. It's always the same: the anticipation of something is always greater than the actual object itself. I will admit, I've got it bad for 'new ocarinas'. jee, talk about being late on the bit for a review. Allow me to present, the Songbird Double Harmony Ocarina that I received for my birthday!.
