Ocarina Problem

Recommended Posts

So I bought this Ocarina http://www.ebay.ca/itm/190584953228?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 But It's not playing any music. I don't know if I'm just doing it wrong or it just doesn't work.

every time I blow into it no matter how hard or soft it just makes an annoying whistle like sound. Covering over any holes doesn't change the sound even slightly, Only by covering the back top hole it doesn't make any noise.

But at least it's pretty, I got the blue one by random. I really wanna be able to play one though even if I have to buy a different one.

Edit:

I know someone else that bought one of these once and it did the exact same thing, which was not work.

Buying another one probably won't solve anything i'm afraid. At least it's nice to look at.

I meant a completely different one from a different seller, that comes with a songbook and reads plays music lol

If you want a good quality Ocarina, go to http://www.stlocarina.com/ . They make the best ocarina's. Also, try checking your embacher, which is the way you position your mouth. It could be wrong, and that's why it's not playing. I have a 1-octave round ocarina, and I can play scales on it fairly easy, so a sweet potatoe ocarine should work if you have the right embacher. Go look up some tutorials on Youtube.

A lot of those same Ocarina's are on ebay, with cheaper shipping and sometimes cost less(I live in Canada not US)
