I can play the Song of Time, hell yes. And with the aid of a new acquaintance, I shall be getting my sheet music notation very soon so Lugia's theme will follow quickly. It was much easier than I had expected to pick up the fingering and some of the breath control, I can play after memorising and practicing songs, but the mastering is already blatantly difficult. The precise breathing force control, and lung capacity + timing, is exceedingly complicated and difficult for the time being. As is instant, intuitive perfect finger placement, especially for sharp notes. I guess that will come with continued practice however.
I'm glad I decided to get one for myself. Beautiful, lovely sound, inline with the types of instruments I want to play, something noble, if not so useful, to occupy my time with instead of gaming, and access to a slightly cult community. Hail to Docjazz4

They're Here!
Thank you STL! I've had my nine hole tenor ocarina for just shy of four hours now, and I am so glad that I decided to grab it instead of the four hole pendant. Its relative, the twelve hole tenor, makes a wonderful gift for the right person too. My cousin is as blissful as I am about his. The only annoyance is that finding a fingering chart to translate a 6/3 system into sheet notes, is too difficult. Oh well, for the time being, I'm going to have to stick to the odd numbering system, and try to find a way of conversion. That's all for today, I'm going back to practice :P
