Toy Ocariina - David R. Johnson, Mar 13, 2007

The product is really just a toy, but it's priced appropriately so I have no complaints. Someone looking for a real musical instrument should expect to pay much more, and look for a wooden or ceramic version.

I really got one and this is a real review not a joke - Rocketeer, Apr 25, 2005

I am a musical instrument collector and when I saw this for such a low price I knew it had to be a toy. I just couldnt stop myself from getting it because I really wanted to know if I could get a good sound out of it. I can! I can play some simple tunes already. Its not the best sound in the world, but it is pretty fun. Its rather small fitting into the palm of my hand. I wear mens large gloves. It fits into any pocket. The placement of the holes are not too complicated to figure out. Your on you own because it doesnt come with any sort of guide but i didnt have too much trouble getting it. There are plenty of tabs on the internet for this thing. I think its a fun toy. For the price of it thats all you should expect. Good for children if you could find a guide on the internet.

A life saver ! - Adam Sandler, Feb 11, 2005

This Ocarina literally saved my life !
It was a lovely summers day. The birds we're singing sweetly, the sheep were frisky. I was walking to the local Walmart for a quart of freshly squeezed Sunny D. Suddenly out of the blue a 10 foot Elephant burst through a nearby hedge row. The elephant, who I found out later belonged to "The Elephant Man" from the circus that was setting up in the field next to me, paused and looked into my eyes. I could see it had a thirst for blood so averted my gaze. I was later told that breaking eye contact is the worst thing you can do when faced with a rabid animal but, alas, I didn't think of this at the time. The elephant raised up onto it's back legs trumpeting wildly and returned to earth with a thud. By this time I had decided I should find some cover and had dived into a nearby Birch wood. The elephant began to charge toward me. He'd got my scent ! I ran as fast as I could into the wood but unfortunately I didn't notice a root that was sticking up and caught my foot in it. Before I knew it I was on the floor with a broken ankle !. Nelly, as I had affectionately named him, had reached the outskirts of the wood. He came thundering through the trees knocking them to the right and left. As I lay there I thought "This is it Davinci, what have you done with this life of yours.". As Nelly grew closer the ground was shaking and so was I. At last he reached me and towered over me his front legs lifted in the air. I closed my eyes and awaited my fate...... but death never came. A high pitched sound that I immediately knew to be a Grover Sweet Potato Diatonic Ocarina broke through the silence of the wood. Then almost immediately Nelly turned and ran back the way he'd come. I opened my eyes and saw a strange little fellow wearing some kind of robes. He came over to me and checked that I was OK. I thanked him for his help and enquired about the Grover Sweet Potato Diatonic Ocarina that had just saved my life. Within a week Amazon had delivered one to my door and to this day I never leave home without it. Just in case !

buy it, and evolve. - Brownthing, Feb 11, 2005

It is a little known fact that Beethoven (and many of his peers) actually wrote the majority of their work specifically for this instrument. Tragically, the corrupt governments of the time viewed this behaviour as subversive insanity and ordered an extensive rewrite for the more socially acceptable 'orchestra'.
This was a massive blow to our civilization, resulting in the modern world's shamefull ignorance of this majestic tool of art. I find it difficult to contain my outrage when some ill-educated neanderthal asks questions such as:

"why sweet potato?"
"diatonic ocarina, is'nt that a tool used in colonic irrigation?"
"who's grover and why would I care?"

The mind boggles!
