CLD Brands Hand Tuned Ocarina of Time - Bonus Player's Guide is made with complete care and thought. It is FAR from those knock off toys you see for $10, actually being crafted with ceramics instead of plastic and finished and painted beautifully. It arrived carefully packaged in a box, within a foam box on top of foam peanuts for extra protection.
Other then the Ocarina flute, the box contained a string to connect the flute to and a booklet of sheet music for well known songs such as "Happy Birthday to You", or "Mary had a Little Lamb". There was also an invitation to join the VIP Club by registering the Ocarina, you could receive a coupon to buy a stand for it for $1.95.
On to the actual Ocarina, since I am no Ocarina professional all I can say is that it does sound like an actual instrument you would play in front of a crowd. This awesome little instrument is not cheap sounding like a knock off. It obviously was made with musicians in mind, having a nice tone to it when played. This Legend of Zelda themed Ocarina Flute is definitely made with high quality ceramics and paint, as well as sound. It is worth every penny for a hardcore Zelda fan!
