The ocarina, this popular variation sometimes called the sweet potato ocarina, is an ancient flute-like wind instrument. It is one of the oldest musical instruments on Earth. It is usually made up of an oval-shaped enclosed space and four to thirteen finger holes, though there are some variations on the standard design. A mouth tube projects from it. The ocarina is a vessel flute. Unlike the perforated wind instruments, such as the orchestral flute and the recorder, the sound is created by resonance of the entire cavity. This has different acoustical physics from a pipe. Technically, the cavity acts as a Helmholtz resonator. The ocarina, like other vessel flutes, has the unusual quality of not relying on the pipe length to produce a particular tone. Instead the tone is dependent on ratio of the total surface area of opened holes to the total volume enclosed by the instrument. This means that, unlike a flute or recorder, the placement of the holes on an ocarina is largely irrelevant—their size is the most important factor. The resonator in the ocarina creates a sine-shaped sound wave and is thus incapable of creating harmonic overtones. This means that the technique of overblowing to get a range of higher pitched notes is not possible with the ocarina, so the range of pitches available is limited. Different notes are produced by covering the holes, opening and closing more or less of the total hole area. The tone is then produced through the sound hole. The tone can also be varied by changing the strength with which one blows through the instrument.
This LovelyTransparent BLUE Ocarina comes in its own clear plastic bag for protection and storage. It produces a very nice sound. It is a great way to have the opportunity to that musical experience that every person should have. Included is a basic notation/fingering chart, This very nice Ocarina is a good choice for anyone who is serious about learning to play an instrument.
Compared with many other instruments like Violins, Clarinets, Flutes, etc., this Ocarina is at a very affordable price.
