Songbird or Stl?

Songbird or Stl?

Hi!! I’m a beginner who picked up ocarina about a week ago, I bought my first from Amazon because I was just curious about it, but after some thinking I’ve decided to return that one and invest on an actual instrument able to play lol

My budget is around 90-100€ and I understand I can’t get anything too professional with that, but I’d like something that is at least in tune and has a good sound
After browsing this sudreddit and some YouTube videos I’ve got down to these two options:

Oot 12 holes Alto C from Songbird
114,95€
A bit out of budget but I’m willing to do it if it’s a big jump of quality compared to the Stl one

Or

12 holes tenor ocarina from STL
70€

I’ve heard good things both about Stl and Songbird and I don’t really know which one to go to

I’d prefer to go with 12 holes ceramic ocarinas, I don’t have any particular preferences about the key tho

Also yeah, if possible I would want to go with a Zelda design, while obviously maintaining a good quality
And if you have any other options that you think are better than both, I’m obviously open to the idea!

Thank you so much for your time!!

Edit: forgot to mention, I’m from Italy, so I guess shipping costs will also add to that
