- The Coda EDC flute is an amazing and unique instrument designed by a famous ocarina maker! It combines the beauty of an ocarina with more regular sound, a larger range, and easier to play fingerings. You can get one on Amazon: amzn.to/3LslQHo

Thank you for such an engaging and thorough review! ❤
Aww thank you! It was such a joy to play around with :D
What an awesome instrument.
I don't have one but I understand that the holes are split because one side of each hole (the outer side) is for one chamber and the inner side of the holes are for the second chamber.
That is correct, and it takes a bit of practice to get used to the fact that you can't rotate the tips of your fingers carelessly.
Yup
Thanks Molly, I just received mine, I am just learning.
Awesome! Beautifull sound
Because you played this so beautiful I just sent for it this is the fourth item you sold me on it is a lot of fun thank you
thank you for the smiles :)
That is so cool ... I think I need one ! your smile and laughter is infectious , thank you & GOD bless
Thank you! They are amazing little instruments!
that is so interesting definitely worth checking out! wouldn't have seen this otherwise, thx
Very interesting insrtument! Thank you!
How hilarious. I just bought one of those recently.
This is amazing!
Thank you Molly 🙂
I have to have one of those 😊😍
Thank you!
That is so cool...
I like the sound, I have a LOZ OOT songbird ocarina that I like but this seems like a awesome alternative to it. Plus it’s not expensive like I was thinking. As always great review 👍
It's really a great instrument for such a small price! Thank you :)
@@MusicalMollyKhan I ordered it today I’m excited to try it! And used your link so hopefully that helps.
@@moonwolf5910 I hope you love it! 😊
It's badass! Call them and tell them ...
I love mine...I can play in all keys!
I got one of these a while ago,but I gave up on it because I couldn’t get the holes sealed to get the notes in tune. I was going to sell it, but maybe I’ll give it another chance.
It is really tricky! Using the "piper's grip" which is really just making your fingers flat as you play, makes it much easier!
@@MusicalMollyKhan using a chromatic tuner, you can practice till you get the note right then move to the next note to practice. once you have the basics down, then playing the songs become easier. it is always best to start with the basics. IMHO
LoL! Its looks like a primitive hair clipper! The way the device is set up looks like a precision instrument at first glance. C5 to C7 is quite impressive for such a small instrument! Food quality grade?! EPIC! To me that means I could blow BBQ sauce through it after enjoying (insert food preference here) and still play a tune! Like it could be washed so if someone else wants to play it then its good to go!
This is brilliant can you buy these in the uk?
I've had one from the beginning, good instrument. It is an Alto (C5 to C7) but I'd be curious about a Tenor version (C4 to C6).
Aces
Or even better, a triple!
I wish these were easier to purchase in the UK.
I would end up paying double the price at least, due to import taxes.
Where do you get the lg music book for the coda

Molly hello I was just wondering if you could answer a couple questions for me would you recommend that if I'm going to get into playing the ocarina that I would just start with the EDC flute or the mountain ocarina which is the other one from that same guy do you think I'm going to need to bridge too quickly to the double chamber to where I should just start with a double chamber or do you think I should start with the single chamber mountain ocarina
I live in the UK it seems I cannot order one from hear..
😒
is there any electronic equivalent to this kind of instrument? I'm wondering about the "whistling" sounds in some orchestral works (such as some of the Morricone pieces from Westerns) and whether such a sound can be made mechanically (I can't whistle myself for reasons unknown to me).
There's the WARBL, which is more of a recorder/whistle than ocarina, but it's fully digital and connects to a phone or computer for MIDI sound. CutiePie has a video on it, not sure who else does.
I've had one for over a year-and-a-half probably only picked it up once. Are there tutorials out there?
Not really
Hi, Jill, we have a lot of free learning resources on our website.

I have a Coda that I very much want to love! but… Even though I am using the correct fingerings, I cannot get it to play in tune for the life of me! Have you had this problem? And/or do you have any playing/fingering tips? Thank you so much, Molly! :-)
PS it’s not the thumb hole issue. :-)
@@peaceweaver3 get a tuner...learn to breathe
@@silverpairaducks that’s not the problem here. I have a tuner. And I have been playing various flutes, along with clarinet and saxophone for many years. I also took professional voice lessons for over 10 years. I know how to breathe properly. This is the only instrument that gives me trouble. There must be something else going on here.
@@peaceweaver3 did you call them?
This instrument, like all ocarina-type instruments, is *very* pitch sensitive to breath pressure. You cannot play it gently without going flat. You have to be aware of this and tune continuously as you play, although that gets easier as you go. This instability of pitch is both a strength and the main challenge of this family of instruments (vessel flutes, helmholtz resonators). You can take advantage of it to bend notes and add a lot of color to your playing, but as you've discovered, it's not easy to play in tune. You might discover, when you play with other musicians, that what you thought was in tune is a bit flat. This is because when playing on your own, you might tend to play at less than optimum breath pressure.
The other possible problem (though unlikely in this instance) is covering the holes properly. It requires a hand position that's different from other woodwinds.
If it's the first problem, you'll tend to play flat; if it's the second, you'll tend to go sharp.
I just looked on Amazon for one but not one in sight..
Hopefully this link works for you amzn.to/3LslQHo :)
There's a $4.00 off coupon on Amazon. I just ordered an all black one.
No luck Molly, none on there, maybe they sold out?
I just bought one one Amaz on tonight
I just got mine...I got Ivory with belt clip. I can play a d major scale. There is a woman I want to show it to...It freaking floats!!!!
Does it just come with a belt clip or do you have to ask for it
@@353uba the belt clip is slightly extra
@@353uba the 3m tape failed on the belt clip. Epoxy soon. I put an lanyard with a breakaway and a carabiner until I go to the hardware store.
Sounds a lot like a recorder to me
Why is she always on the verge of laughter? Is she on mushrooms?
