fiat_knox I began a new hobby in June this year, at the height of the lockdowns - mastering the ocarina. I bought a 7-hole egg pendant, a max range double ocarina which plays like a 6-hole English Style pendant, and a 12-hole Thomann C1 tenor ocarina in red. The latter is a plastic instrument, rather than ceramic, but it's been good for me since i received it on 2020-06-22.
(I'm buying another new one, an Elf's Ear ocarina from STL, 12-hole transverse, but that's a story for another day).
Within 24 hours of trying out the ocarina I have since come to call Big Red, I was already picking out my first tune by ear, from memory. The traditional Welsh song Myfanwy, by Joseph Parry (1875).
I had to pick it out by ear, because the singsheet for it - the tabs - were not available on the internet, or anywhere really.
Until today.
Behold.
