  Actually I am looking for other people's experience on *good* ocarinas.

  My experience from two different (cheap) ocarinas is that in both of
them it's very difficult to get to the notes on the higher octave. The
more holes there are open, the more difficult it is to get a nice sound
(or a sound at all). Yet with high-quality ocarinas it should be possible.

  I'm interested in your experience with that ocarina of yours. What is
the range that you can play effortlessly, without the sound breaking up?
