OC-RD 4 Hole Alto Ocarina in Red

The English 4-hole ocarina is one of the easiest musical instruments to pick up, requiring just two fingers from each hand to play. The instrument has a range of 11 notes - from just four holes! This cleverly designed instrument will amaze you with its tone, and you’ll be delighted by the modest price point. Highly portable, you can simply pop the cord around your neck and off you go! The Oc is a small instrument and the finger holes are close together. This makes it easy for younger kids to pick up and play but without being too small for bigger hands. If you think that the ocarina exists purely as an educational tool you would however be wrong - small round flutes with four finger holes were first made 2,000 years ago in Latin America. These original instruments whose haunting melodies resonated through the Andes could only produce 5 notes. The modern Oc, as the result of extensive research and advanced manufacturing technologies covers more than twice this range. The Oc is made of impact resistant plastic in a single size to fit large hands as well as small. It is tuned to concert pitch so you can play along with Play your Ocarina music books and CDs, and with other musical instruments. It has a chromatic range of 1 octave, from D to D and produces a clear tone with no unwanted squeaks! Supplied on a colorful string cord, the Oc can be worn around your neck or wrist for safekeeping and to ensure you always have it to hand when inspiration strikes.
