I ordered this on a whim from the US warehouse and received it in 2 business days. I was expecting it to only be the ocarina but it came with a necklace and protective carrying pouch. The finish looks fantastic and it feels hefty in the hand. Overall it has a great feel to it and I would definitely recommend it!

This came packaged well, wrapped in bubble wrap, inside a cardboard box (It was packaged in a Legend of Zelda box which scared me at first!) and wrapped again in foam wrap. The box was slightly dented but the instrument is in perfect condition. It feels heavy and smooth in the hands, and is quite easy to play. I played it next to a tuner, and it seems almost in tune, but it varies depending on how hard a breath you give. I am a beginner so I do not know how true the sound or tone is or should be. A professional might have another more critical opinion. I am very happy with it, regardless if I become a pro it looks beautiful on my shelf, and it feels amazing just to hold in the hands. It is quite bigger then expected, but that gives it a much more mellow tone then the tiniest pendant ocarina. The only drawback is a strong pungent smoky smell which sticks in the mouth. I have heard this is from the firing process and goes away with time.
