What is an "ocarina"?
An ocarina is a small, portable wind instrument made from ceramic, clay, or plastic. It has a rounded, egg-like shape with several finger holes on its surface. The player produces sound by blowing air into a mouthpiece and covering or uncovering the holes to change the pitch. The ocarina is known for its sweet, ethereal tone and is used in various musical genres and cultural traditions. Its simple design and unique sound make it popular for both solo performances and as a decorative instrument.
