Product Description
?Easy-to-hold shape For soprano C tone, the content must be reduced in order to raise the pitch. Therefore, the surface area of ??ocarina is small, and many of them have a shape that is difficult to hold. The soprano C tone of NIGHT by Noble has a sufficient surface area and is designed to be easy to hold. With this, there is no problem that the tone hole is not blocked and the pitch is shifted due to finger-to-finger collision. Even men with thick fingers can play without difficulty. ?Good pitch balance You can breathe firmly into the bass, and the treble goes up enough without breathing too much. Isn't it the spec that many ocarina players want? The soprano C tone of NIGHT by Noble is designed so that the bass part can be blown firmly, while the treble part is easy to rise. Also, in the alto C tone, Does the treble fa come out beautifully? Is a big point in choosing an ocarina. So what is the point of the soprano C style? In a general soprano C-style ocarina, I think the point is whether the high-pitched tone comes out clearly or the pitch rises sufficiently. This is the point where I spent the most time developing the soprano C style of NIGHT by Noble. Finally, the finish was convincing, and it was released. ?High-quality texture with rubber finish The rubber finish has a texture that sets it apart from ordinary plastic products, but in reality, it requires very delicate work by skill. Although it was developed in black, the soprano C tone also adopted this rubber finish. ?Specifications Size: 25 x 150 x 75 mm Weight: 80g Color: Black / Rubber finish?Easy-to-hold shape For soprano C tone, the content must be reduced in order to raise the pitch.

The tone is a bit lighter or brighter than an equivalent clay or ceramic ocarina, which tend to have a mellower tone. If you are familiar with ocarinas, you know what I mean. This is not a bad thing, it's the nature of a lighter ocarina. It has a very nice tone, bright and loud. It is slightly louder than a comparable sized ocarina, but you can also play with less air without going out of tune. Cheaper ocarinas are notorious for not being well tuned to start with, and requiring a lot of air to sound good. This instrument can be played with less air and still sound good. The volume range is really good. The high notes are nicely in tune.
Mechanically, It feels good and is comfortable to play. The hole spacing fits my fingers perfectly. I have average sized hands, FWIW. It is light, being plastic, but it is solid, not at all flimsy feeling. It is very nicely finished, smooth and well constructed. The finish is not rubberized as some people say, it is not coated, but the plastic itself is textured with a satin like finish, rather than leaving it smooth and shiny. This, to me, makes it easier to grip and hold. It gets a well deserved five stars.
Update: After playing this for a few weeks, my initial impression is unchanged. It plays very well and is very well tuned. The high notes are easier to play than the Zelda style of Ocarina, though maybe not quite as easy as a high end clay ocarina. Still, the high notes sound good and are easy to play. Being plastic, it is lighter than an equivalent clay model, but still fits well and feels good in my hands. I would be interested in trying one of their larger models, I like this one so much.
YOU'VE REACHED IT. YOU'VE FOUND YOURSELF A NIGHT.
All of the above is true. While a "master" at playing ocarina may find that this ocarina won't challenge them or that it's not specialized enough, that same master will probably laud the Night for being a fantastic instrument. It's relatively large (especially if you're used to a soprano), but it still fits in your hand; I recommend this ocarina STRONGLY to everyone, but especially for people with larger hands, like me, and people who can't abide loud, high-pitched noises for a long time--like me. Night will absolutely still play loudly and can reach some fairly high notes, but nothing like a wrong note on one of the piercing sopranos you can find. On top of that, Noble is such a well-known and reputable seller, and their instruments of such high quality, that it would honestly be hard to go wrong with this product. Whether you're interested in ocarina because of Legend of Zelda or because you saw it at the Renaissance Festival, you're a nerd (hey, I'm a nerd too--I play LoZ and I WORK at the local Ren Faire), but you're a nerd of good taste, and you should absolutely continue your tradition of good taste and purchase this ocarina. It is a bit spendier than some of the soprano ocarinas or some of the "Legend of Zelda duplicates" around, but it's definitely worth it. Instruments are one thing that you should invest in; you will usually get what you pay for. :) I own over 20 ocarinas and ocarina-like instruments, and this is still one of my very favorites of them all.
