This is the first-generation triple ocarina with additional tuning. First of all, I basically think that the Osawa is the only choice for triples. The most important thing for me is how the transition from one tube to two tubes feels. This one has very little feeling of discomfort. I want you to look at the photos, but the pitch has been lowered overall. This is because the first generation often had a stronger breath than the current S, and honestly, it was tough for ordinary people to play indoors... so this one has had the second tube's vent holes and some other holes narrowed with putty. The previous owner must have struggled with the breath... Nowadays, it's often tuned with transparent resin, but back then, it was putty. Also, I want you to see in the photo that the mouthpiece has been narrowed. This is probably to prevent the "pyui!" sound when switching tubes, by putting air into the side tube, as it's smaller than the current μ. Well, the important thing is how it feels to play, and I've played the first-generation lacquer ocarina several times before, but I think this one is much easier to play. The pitch is also not a problem at all, and it's true that it's less likely to "pyui pyui" when switching tubes, so I think it's well-tuned. But well, amateurs wouldn't think of modifying a triple, it's expensive. I'm also selling a natural one with the same feel. (Originally owned by the same person) I'm keeping the price down, so if you want to start with a triple, please consider it. For an additional 2500 yen, I'll include a Focallink hard case, so if you want one, please comment and I'll create a dedicated listing.
