The Ocinara

Here is my Ocarina. I bought this in Hong Kong, probably about 60 years or so ago. There were three Chinese boys playing classics on these things. I asked where they got them and they pointed to a shop nearby. It's not in concert pitch but it has amused me over the years.
Try this.



Here is a description of this instrument from Wikipedia:
The ocarina is a wind musical instrument—a type of vessel flute. Variations exist, but a typical ocarina is an enclosed space with four to twelve finger holes and a mouthpiece that projects from the body. It is traditionally made from clay or ceramic, but other materials are also used—such as plastic, wood, glass, metal, or bone.

The one above is a ceramic one.
