Anybody know of where to buy and/or plays an ocarina?  (Ok I'm a Zelda nut, I admit it).  I learned to play the piano at age 6 and quit at the age of 20...so I have some musical talent. :p  But piano's are not very portable and I wouldn't mind having some cute little instrument to fool around with and maybe even entertain at the fest.  For those that play how difficult is it to learn to play?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

I purchased several Ocarinas in the mid-90's at Scarborough Faire from Dragon Ocarinas, when they were Magic Earth Melodies.  They make beautiful instruments.

Ebay always has a large number of them for sale in various materials.

I'm a Zelda nut too.  I learned a few songs from this web site http://www.clayz.com/zsthemes.html

I only have a 4 hole ocarina, but it still worked pretty good.

That Iphone ocarina app is really cool.  Kinda freaked some people out here at the office though.

I believe this is the place I got mine from at TRF:   https://www.zeldasocarina.com/

The Ocarina app on iPhone works for iTouch too.  You just don't blow into it.  It plays as you touch the holes.  I have the iTouch and have the app on it.
