00:00Hashtag Top 5 Portable Ocarinas for Beginner Musicians
00:04Hey, what's up?
00:06So you want to learn ocarina but you have no idea where to start, and you definitely don't
00:10want to blow a ton of money on something you might play twice and forget about.
00:14I get it.
00:16I went down the rabbit hole so you don't have to, and I pulled together 5 portable ocarinas
00:21that are perfect for beginners, all at prices that honestly surprised me.
00:25Let's get into it.
00:27Starting us off at number 5, we've got this little 6-hole ceramic ocarina in Soprano
00:32C. This thing is tiny, like, you can literally wear it as a pendant around your neck.
00:38It's tuned to C, super simple with just 6 holes, which means you're not going to get
00:42overwhelmed trying to figure out fingerings on day 1.
00:46It's honestly a great, do I even like playing ocarina, test run.
00:50And at $6.55, with almost 5,000 sold and a 4.8 rating, you really can't
00:56go wrong.
00:57Toss it in your pocket, take it on a hike, play some tunes in the woods.
01:02No stress.
01:04Number 4 is where things get interesting, and kind of wild.
01:08This is a 12-hole Alto C ceramic ocarina inspired by a certain legendary video game, and it costs
01:1448 cents.
01:15Yeah, you read that right.
01:1848 cents.
01:20Now look, at that price you're obviously not getting premium craftsmanship, but it
01:24has a 4.8 rating with over 4,000 sold, so people are clearly having fun with it.
01:29If you want to mess around, learn some fingerings, and feel like a hero pulling an ocarina out
01:34of your bag, this is your zero-risk entry point.
01:38At number 3 we have a 12-hole Alto C ceramic ocarina that comes bundled with a stand, a music
01:43book, a neck strap, and a carry bag.
01:46This is basically a starter kit in a box.
01:49The stand is a nice touch because you can display it on your desk, which, let's be real, makes
01:54you feel like a real musician.
01:56Priced at $19.11 with a 4.8 star rating, this one gives you everything you need to actually
02:02sit down and start learning songs properly.
02:05Really solid value for what you get.
02:08Number 2 is another 12-hole Alto C, and this one also comes with a songbook, a neck cord,
02:13and a carry bag.
02:15What I like about this one is it's specifically marketed as a teaching instrument, so the
02:19tuning tends to be consistent and forgiving for beginners who are still figuring out breath
02:23control.
02:25It's 1989, almost 5,000 units sold, and carries a 4.7 rating.
02:31If you want something reliable that sounds decent right out of the box and comes with enough
02:35accessories to get started immediately, this is a really safe pick.
02:39Alright, that's the lineup.
02:42I dropped links for all 5 down in the description so you can grab whichever one fits your vibe
02:46and your budget.
