Since ancient times, ocarinas or vessel flutes have existed in many forms and in various regions, including pre-Columbian South and Central America.

The product of tireless experimentation, Mountain Ocarinas^® possess the tonal range and quailty, the ease of fingering, the necessary volume, and the beauty and expressiveness worthy of public performance and serious dedication.

Each one is meticulously hand-crafted to exacting tolerances out of hardwoods specially treated for superior stability, durability, and resistance to extremes in temperature and humidity.

Mountain Ocarinas^®, whatever their particular key, play the following written notes, plus all corresponding sharps and flats.

Relative to most other instruments, Mountain Ocarinas^® are easy to learn, especially with the optional home-learning book and 3 CDs that guide you step-by-step from blowing the first notes to reading and playing challenging music.
