Let yourself be enchanted by this Italian-inspired ocarina

Take a trip to the heart of Italy with this ocarina, modeled after the one created by Giuseppe Donati in Budrio, a small town near Bologna, in the 19th century. This craftsman and musician reshaped the round, globular ocarinas from South America into a distinctive goose-head silhouette—a style now known as the transverse ocarina. Small in size with a soprano range, it features six finger holes, making it especially beginner-friendly. Made entirely of ceramic, it comes in seven different designs, some of which are hand-decorated. That way, you can choose the look that fits your style and let your creativity flow. Treat yourself to this Italian-inspired ocarina.
