Those have a passageway a few inches long that you blow into before your breath enters the main chamber (see this photo.) It's personal preference as to which style you like better. Some pendants are more of a teardrop or wine bottle shape. This oc looks like a big bubble that you blow into, with the mouthpiece attached immediately to the sound chamber. Not all pendant ocarinas have the same shape.

The songbook contains tabs for only a dozen songs but you can easily find much more free music for pendants on the web, with or without tabs. The package includes a fingering chart and songbook. If you want to wear an oc as jewelry, I'd instead recommend a lightweight soprano G pendant. A tenor ocarina is too big and heavy to wear comfortably as jewelry.

For very little extra cost Focalink has figured out how to safely ship a delicate product while simultaneously providing customers with a comely display case. I'm surprised other vendors haven't followed Focalink's lead. When people casually look over my ocarina collection they naturally gravitate towards this one due to its attractive presentation. In this instance, I also use the display box to show off the ocarina on my living room shelves. They're great when I need to securely transport the instrument. I like it when sellers provide reusable boxes like this. Nestled within a gold-colored satin cloth is the ocarina itself. It arrives in an outer container, a strong cardboard box, then within that is what the seller calls a "display box." This is an attractive reusable chocolate-colored box. The ocarina comes very securely shipped and the chance of shipping damage appears to be nil. This tenor G is a somewhat quieter alternative to the typical alto C ocarina. Also, many people post that they're concerned that their oc is too loud. I wanted to review this ocarina because it offers a remarkable sound: sonorous and haunting. sellers: Songbird Ocarina, Amazon, and Stein Ocarina This is a review of the Focalink Tenor G seedpod ocarina.
