Review: Purple Clay Tenor (stlocarina.com)

Link:
Length: 7 inch. (17 cm)
Range: Alto C (A4-F6)
Weight: 7 1/2 oz.

-Review Summary-

DESIGN
- Professional Look
- Made from Purple Clay (Purple Sand)
- Purple Clay absorbs moisture from the air breathed into it as you play. This will create a more clear and resonant tone over time.

DURABILITY
-Purple Clay is more dense than other clays, making it more durable.
- It is still clay however, so please take care during transporting, or while playing.

WEIGHT
- At 7.5 ounces, it's a little heavier than other Alto C's I've played, and I believe that's because the clay is more dense. I adjusted fairly quickly, however, so it shouldn't cause any problems.

PLAYABILITY
- With the exception of the weight, it is just as easy to play as other Alto C's.

SOUND
- May sound airy when first removed from box, but does improves with time, the more you use it.

Overall, if you're looking for professional quality ocarina with alot of potential, I know you'll enjoy the Purple Clay Tenor!
