Ocarina

The ocarina, Italian for ‘little goose’, is an ancient wind musical instrument, a type of flute. Ocarinas vary in design, but are typically made up of an enclosed space with four to twelve finger holes and a mouthpiece. The instrument is traditionally made from clay or ceramic, but other materials are also used, such as plastic, wood, glass, metal, and even bone. In this lesson, students will make and learn to play a 3D printed ocarina.
