OAS (ocarina acquisition syndrome)

I ordered the taichi pendant from songbird ocarinas on a thursday. When I got home from the airport saturday afternoon (first one in august) it was waiting for me. It was pretty, it smelled nice and I played a couple of songs off the included song sheet. I also ran the scale a couple of times. So I wore it around and played it, even made up a few songs. One thing I noticed though...I could only play it a half step flat! The only way to get it close to in key was to blow as hard as I could every single note. That was NOT enjoyable. But I really liked the portability of the ocarina. So I caught OAS (ocarina acquisition syndrome). So less than a week later I ordered a transverse plastic bon soloist triple from korea. A week later while I was still waiting I ordered a dinda alto c from thailand. And a week after that while I was still waiting I decided to order a C&G poly set from mountain ocarinas in connecticut. The soloist triple came, and the mountains came a day after and the dinda some days after that. I started bringing them to work every day, practicing in the car, a few times in the park. The soloist triple? Awesome case, awesome songbook. I played several times through the exercises for a couple of weeks. I didn't spend too much time with the mountains, the triple was most of the focus.
