Excellent condition, glazing looks nice, fully playable.
Tuned to A440 concert pitch, has a range of just over one octave from D to E.
Video of John Langley playing his Bass D available here:

And this is me playing the
solfa scale up and down on my instrument:

If you listen with headphones, you can hear in both Langley's video and my sound sample
that this ocarina has a gentle buzz, mostly noticeable when playing the bottom 4 notes.
Part of it's character, probably due to the low tuning in such a small chamber.
Finding a woodwind instrument that plays low D in this travel-friendly size is a challenge
and bass Langleys rarely come up for sale on eBay.
The Ocarina Workshop in the UK currently sells it for £120.

The instrument will be well packed for delivery.
Please mind the longer than usual dispatch time.
