About This Product
Overview
This ocarina is sold, but I will make another one for you. Over the years, the name "ocarina" has become a generic term describing any instrument with an enclosed chamber rather than an open tube. In this respect, the ocflute is a true ocarina, but because it is turned on the lathe, its shape is reminiscent of the blockflute, or recorder. Thus the name "OcFlute."
My Soprano OcFlute (ocarina/flute) is in the key of F and has two sub-holes giving it a range of D5 to A6, one more note than my sweet potatoes. The left little finger operates two sub-holes taking the range from the tonic note of F down to D. It also features a double hole for the right hand little finger to facilitate the playing of F#.
The OcFlute combines the beautiful tone of the ocarina with the elegant lathe-turned profile found on 18th century woodwinds. Click on thumbnail at left for larger images and more information.

I bought this ocflute (I believe it is the one pictured) from Charlie about seven months ago, and have played it extensively. In fact, it is my go-to ocarina now, and I have a lot of them! I've been a fan of Hind ocarinas for many years, and own a number of different models. I love returning to the site from time to time to see what's new. Anyway, this ocflute and the sopranino I bought some years before are my favorite instruments of them all. The tone is pure and clear, like nothing else. The workmanship is fantastic. The subhole on this instrument is a great feature--you can hit that low note on Greensleeves no problem. I especially like it for playing tarantellas. Irish tunes, too. Bach, pop songs, Renaissance music . . . really, everything sounds great. It's a pleasure both to look at and hear these instruments.
I was excited to see some new models of ocflutes since I last checked. These are top-flight instruments. Real gems, and totally unique. Highly recommend!
