However, upon receiving a new replacement one, I can now play every note clear enough to my liking. The first DT I got had a hard time with high notes, it required an inhuman acute bend, and was airy. If you don't know what that is, you should, seeing as how you have another 12 hole. The notes are harder to reach as you get harder, so you have to use the acute bend. I am artist, so it's eye candy to me XDDD The lacquer on the DT is amazing, so rainbowy and pretty, just like oil on a driveway or the colorful glare of a soap bubble. Everyone else I've read reviews of said they hated it, that it was very akward to hold, but it just takes some getting used to. It can be annoying to hold after maybe an hour of playing but that's it. I have pretty big hands with long fingers and wrists for a girl, so I like how spaced out the holes are and how it is held. But I am also a visual learner, so I may have a slight advantage when it comes to switching instruments.Īnyways, the ergonomics are not that amazing, ESPECIALLY if you have small fingers of hands, and shorter wrists. I played clarinet for eight years and caught on to my Dragontooth VERY quickly. For a person with five or more years of playing some other instrument, it will be easy as pie. For a beginner with NO musical background at all, It will be harder. Yes, If you have the experience to play it. Maybe look into buying an ocarina in a key other than C, maybe a good 12 hole in G or F? However if im being honest i think you would be better off investing in a less ''flashy looking'' more ''performance orientated'' ocarina than the dragontooth. Thirdly it requires a lot of patience and good breath control to play in tune.Īs far as looks go i agree it has a very unique look/style and it certainly grabs your attention visually. Also the positioning of the left hand thumb hole is in a very odd place and i find it really uncomfortable. I'm not sure why the dragontooth has this backwards High D and E. Secondly the dragontooth has inverted thumb holes (you play the right thumb hole for high D and the left for high E).Įvery other ocarina i have played uses the left thumb for D and right thumb for E. It's lots of fun.Its not a very beginner friendly ocarina and has some unusal quirks.įirstly it has japanese subholes (both subs played by the right hand), some people do not like this subhole style, i myself hate it.
