OCARINAAA!

So in case my last post made approximately -21% sense, I ordered an ocarina from Korea a couple weeks ago. So, I had been waiting impatiently for it to arrive. And guess what. It did today! Who guessed right? Oh, good, you get a cookie. No, not you, you should have guessed right. Maybe next time.

-ahem- Anyway! So, the ocarina I ordered is a Noble brand plastic alto C ocarina, in dark red. It's so pretty! It actually has some weight to it, too! It came with a simple fingering chart, a really soft pouch, and a neck strap. I am not exaggerating when I say I've removed it from my neck once since I put the strap on, to eat my ramen (om!). Which I forgot about during the cooking process (oops!). I was so busy looking at and practicing tabs that I left the water boiling for a half hour! Good thing I didn't add the noodles! o.o

Anyways, so I went from the Blue Oc of Death to my beautiful red ocarina that I have named Hassou {(n) Japanese for: expression (e.g. in music); idea; conception}. And her sound is so, SO much better than the Blue Oc of Death! Whereas the BOoD sounds airy and like it's dying, Hassou sounds beautiful, full, and clear! Click below for a sound sample of me (!) playing one of the first songs I learned, Zelda's Lullaby from...can anyone guess? You over there, want to redeem yourself? Yeeess, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Now you get a cookie! Enjoy.



So, yeah, not much else to talk about right now. My arm still hurts from Saturday, though.
