12-Hole Ceramic Alto C Ocarina with Smoldering Finish for Musical Practice

This 12-hole ceramic ocarina is designed for musicians who value precise intonation and responsive playability. With a full range of over an octave and a half (13 notes) in C major, it supports melodies from folk tunes to classical pieces. The smoldering design adds visual appeal, while the integrated lanyard makes it easy to carry during performances or practice sessions. Each instrument is hand-tuned by a professional tuning specialist to ensure tilt-sensitive control and consistent tone across all holes. The ceramic body provides a warm, resonant sound that improves with regular use, as the surface becomes smoother over time.
