This glossy dark blue “Legend of Zelda” style ceramic ocarina plays accurately and with a great tone. It is an Alto C 12-hole instrument, the most common range of ocarina. I decorate it using acrylic paints with a clear varnish protective coat over the painted areas. Each is hand painted with the same basic design but slight variations to make each unique. If you are unfamiliar with the ocarina, there are lots of Youtube examples and I'll post a video here soon. Playing is much like a recorder, but it's even easier to get a good, clear sound.
