I bought this http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/320/e/7/ocarina_by_sanzolover-d4gdccg.png from http://stlocarina.com/ztenor3dis.html and I just can't get it to play a single note all I get is a horrible whistling nose no matter what I do with it and I've tried everything and it just doesn't do anything

It's the whole notes thing I don't get... I must be blowing into it COMPLETELY wrong and I don't know how is right. I managed to get the highest and lowest note(not using that one) but other then that I'm totally stuck. I`m waiting for the forums of the website I bought it at to make me a member but it could take 3 days for all I know.

I guess experiment with how to blow into it. Alot of wind instruments have to be blown in a certain way or else it just doesnt work or squeaks like crazy.

I've learned a bit tonight, It still doesn't sound that great but it's better then nothing. I can play the first 3 notes in Zelda's Lullaby pretty good But it's not as pretty as most people on youtube. this is gonna take a lot of practice... for the first note I make an E sound with my mouth and for the second I just Beet and for the third I make a low D. With the rest of the song I just try to copy the song in my head. Just the high notes aren't working too well, just sound the same. I'll have to play with that more
