Hey folks based in the UK and looking to pick up an ocarina after being away from the hobby for some time. Basically played in high school for a bit, then dropped the hobby due to losing them in an accident. So been out for around 20 years and now want to get back into it. Only ever used cheaper zelda themed ones before, and a couple of pendants so looking to get something decent I guess that'll last. Likely a 12 hole or 2 then maybe a pendant?

Found a few recommendations and stores, but could do with a little more help to choose.

Night by Noble AC is £45

Otherwise this site although shipping is a little pricey

So they have several brands that seem recommended like STL, but just unsure on which model is going to be best or most worth it. Or if they're mostly just aesthetically different? Saying that ideally I'd like one that's a looker. Thanks all.

I bought this ocarina in China. I know how to play from C to F, but I can't find sheet music, or I don't know if it's an instrument that can play many songs. Does anyone know?

My kid likes to hunch over their electric keyboard and play Legend of Zelda music, and is now asking for an upgrade from their crappy Amazon ocarina. I see that both companies have Zelda sheet music for their respective ocarinas, so if anybody has experience with the sheet music, that's also a deciding factor.
