The Florentine Soprano Ocarina (12 Hole C Major)

Product Description

The Florentine ocarina is inspired by Giuseppe Donati, the inventor of the classical Italian ocarina. With matte finish and natural earthy color, it retains the appearance of the earliest Italian ocarinas. The soprano Florentine ocarina is tuned in C Major and is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) long. It uses the standard 12 hole fingering with pitch range from A5 to F7. This ocarina does not require a lot of air to produce a rich tone. The lower and upper notes are all very easy to play. There are holes on the side of the ocarina for you to attach optional neck strap (not included) if you wish to do so.
