Handmade Store: IslandOcarinas

The Ocarina, or vessel flute, has been enjoyed by cultures across the globe for thousands of years. The English style Ocarina is one of the most commonly made styles, as it can easily play the major and minor scales. There are many songs for the English Ocarina recorded in 'Ocarina Tab', which means they are easy to read and learn.

The Island Ocarina is my own style of ocarina based on the pentatonic scale. Consisting of five holes with a ten note range, it can be played with the left hand alone, or with both hands, and can be played in two different keys.

Individually handcrafted on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, each Island Ocarina is unique. Much time and precision are used in the creation process to ensure the quality of each piece, which are finely tuned with a digital tuner. Each instrument is signed, then burnished to give it a smooth look and feel. Most of the tools used to make the ocarinas are handmade, as well as the clay stamps used on the mouthpieces. They are Earthenware fired to over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for durability.

Anyone can learn to play the ocarina. Each one comes with an owner's guide which contains playing instructions. Many can be worn as pendants to prevent dropping and breaking it. Both kids and adults enjoy and have fun playing the ocarina. A perfect instrument for any age. They make great gifts, ideal first instruments, and are just fun to have!
