6-hole ocarina songs

Most ocarina tabs online are written for the 12-hole, which reaches lower and higher than a 6-hole pendant. A pendant in C plays from the low C to the E an octave and a third above, so a tune with a wider range can't be played on it without changing notes.

Every song on this page fits that range: 185 of the 253 tabs in our curated library, plus user tabs that other players have favourited. Choose your pendant below and each tab opens moved into its range, with a 6-hole fingering chart under every note. If a song had to be moved to fit, the tab tells you by how much.

Each group is sorted easiest first, judged from the notes after the move. Songs with fewer half-holes come first, since the C sharp and D sharp take the most practice on a pendant, followed by a smaller range and fewer big jumps.

The Ocarina of Time songs all fit, because Link's ocarina only plays five notes within one octave. So do most carols, hymns and nursery tunes, which were written for ordinary voices. Film themes often need more room and appear here only when they fit.

Playing an F pendant?

Pick F 6-hole on any tab and the charts are redrawn with the same fingerings, a fourth higher.
