Its sound was so great and the price was so inexpensive that i did not take any stars off of this rating just because of a couple of small things of which i could complain

The hole for the cord was very very small and i could not string it even with a sewing needle threader

I finally gave up and tossed the cord out

The amount of breath pressure is something thats crucially important in the tuning of the ocarina

There is also an increase in the amount of breath pressure needed for higher notes so if you dont take that into account it will not be in tune

Good news though it broke cleanly and evenly and i was able to super glue it back together with absolutely no ill effects to the sound quality or intonationtuning

Then again this would vary depending on the firing process

The reason for the 4stars instead of 5 is because the pouch and the ocarina had an overwhelming smell of smoke when i pulled it from the box and when i tried to play it it left a taste in my mouth which was not pleasant at all
