Discover this beautiful Chinese-style ocarina

While the traditional transverse, goose-head-shaped ocarina was invented in 19th-century Italy, many small instruments similar to the ocarina were created in different parts of the world, especially in Asia. Reflecting the culture of this continent, this Chinese-style ocarina is inspired by ancient models found in China, a country renowned for its calligraphy, tea, and temples. Made the traditional way, this instrument is crafted entirely from ceramic and finished with a simple blue or white painted design. It features six holes and a soprano C tuning for soft, airy, high-pitched tones. A small cord is included and can be threaded through the dedicated hole so you can wear it around your neck, helping prevent accidental drops. Fall for our Asian ocarina.
