OC-A-RI-NA  [ok-uh-ree-nuh]
 
– noun
a musical wind instrument shaped somewhat like an elongated egg with a mouthpiece and finger holes.  Also called sweet potato.  Traditionally made from terra-cotta and other natural ceramics.

Songbird Ocarinas produces ocarinas for musicians, students, performers, enthusiasts, and people who have no experience with playing music, but are attracted to the beautiful sounds, ergonomic shape, and practical portability of the ocarina.  Since 1989, Darryn Songbird has been refining the craft, to create pieces that are visually pleasing, feel good in the hands, rewarding to play, and most importantly, sound exquisite.  He has evolved his mouthpiece to convey a wide range of blowing styles, providing a rich tone throughout, from a soft whispery breath to vigorous firey breath.  The tuning is precise, and provides for a fully chromatic 12 tone scale.

A Songbook/Tutorial is included with every ocarina.
