Thanks for looking.

An ocarina is a type of wind instrument, or aerophone, in which sound is produced by the vibration of air. Unlike flutes, ocarinas are not tubes but consist of one or more enclosed, rounded chambers. They produce sound when air vibrates within the enclosure and exits through a hle near the mouthpiece.

Ocarinas vary in size, shape and in the number of resonating chambers and finger holes. Although many ocarinas have one to three finger holes, some have six or more, and the smallest, whistle-like ocarinas have no holes at all. The pitch of the ocarina is determined by the size of the chamber and the size and depth of the finger holes.

This Ocarina is in like new condition. This Ocarina has a circumference of about 2.75”, with a depth of about 1” & is about 3” (from mouthpiece to opposite end).

All measurements are approximate.
