Night By Noble Plastic Ocarina Alto C Tone Black Rubber Finish

This was my first ocarina. I've since gotten a variety of ocarinas including other plastics and ceramics. The Night By Noble is still my go to ocarina. It's well known in the ocarinist community for being arguably the best for beginners as well as being a perfect travel companion for any ocarinist. It sounds amazing for a plastic, better even than some ceramics. It's durable enough that I take it everywhere I go. It feels good in the hand and is as easy to play as a transverse ocarina can be.In summary, the price may seem a little high compared to other plastic ocarinas but it is definitely worth the price for either a beginner or any ocarinist wanting an ocarina on the go.

I'm new to learning the ocarina and finding a half decent one that ships to the UK without very expensive postage is difficult. I heard about the Night by Noble ocarina alto C and I have to say it is a very good for the money.The quality is extremely good as the plastic is it made from is very solid and has a smooth matt finish. The sound quality is also very good, hitting the high notes does require practice and stronger breath than the lower notes.Overall I was very impressed with this ocarina and would highly recommend as it is good for a beginner player. I would stress that if you are new to playing the ocarina then it is worth spending the money on a quality ocarina like the Night by Noble as cheaper plastic or ceramic ocarinas could put you off playing as they may not be tuned very well and the sound quality is pretty poor.Also I received this very quickly! I was told it would take up to 6 weeks to arrive but received it about 10 days from ordering.

I would recommend this for anyone looking into ACTUALLY playing the ocarina. The quality of the build is perfect and feels great to play. Considering it's as durable as it is with such solid, firm plastic, it's great value for money. Especially as it's a better alternative to ordering an ocarina all the way from the US or further with high shipping costs. The sound quality is impeccable on the lower notes, but one should note that getting the higher notes to hit the right pitch can be difficult and the sound can be quite shrill - perhaps I can learn a technique to avoid that from happening.

FANTASTIC instrument. Effortless to play, sounds lovely, perhaps a little squeaky at the very top of the range or breathy at the lowest part but that's totally to be expected from an ocarina. It's my second ocarina and the sound is much purer and clearer than my first ceramic one.I'm writing this review because I am STUNNED. My ocarina just slipped out of my pocket as I was going down the stairs. It fell down the equivalent of about 5 storeys of STONE stairs. When I got to the bottom, it was in two clean halves that slotted easily back together and aren't coming apart again. Pictured is the extent of the damage. Some cosmetic damage but IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT. I would never expect an instrument to survive a fall like that - if I dropped my guitar or my ceramic ocarina like that, it'd be splinters and dust. I don't know if I just got really lucky or if this is literally the most durable musical instrument ever built, but I'm definitely giving it my recommendation. I thought about adding some glue to make sure the halves stay together but I can't actually get them apart again.Really good for small hands too.

on the internet i’ve seen a lot of people suggest this product to beginners. as a beginner, i listened to them. i bought this product and it sounds very airy. i’ve followed every tutorial there is and it doesn’t sound like any of them.it’s very comfortable to hold and easy to store away in it’s small box.

This was ordered for my daughter who is an expert clarinet player, but wanted to try one of these.It's a solid, well made instrument. My daughter is happily playing this in her room and it sounds beautiful.Even the dog seems to be appreciating it. He's sat out in the garden watching her window, where the sound is coming from!Definitely a great instrument. I'm told it's a beginners one, but she's picked it up really quickly.

Love the design and feel of this ocarina, its much nicer packaging than any others ive got before and the instrument itself is super easy to use and very good quality. I prefer this one to my other ceramic ones and it sure will be more durable and less fragile.

This is a great little ocarina. The sound quality is very good, and I imagine you'll have to start spending a lot more money to find better. The build quality is impressive for the price. This is probably the best entry level ocarina on the market, and deserves your purchase.The customer service is also very good. I had a small problem and got it solved swiftly. These are the companies that we should support.For such a cheap price, you really can't go wrong, especially if this is your first ocarina. If you're a veteran ocarina player you might want to invest more money, but the sound quality on this one is still great, despite it being very affordable. Nothing fancy, just a solid, good value for money product. If you're looking to buy your first ocarina in particular then look no further.
