The Animal Ocarina is a charming woodwind instrument handcrafted in Peru from natural, eco-friendly clay and available in a variety of animal designs, including turtles, toucans, birds, crocodiles, and ducks. Featuring four finger holes and a mouthpiece, it can be used to play a range of simple melodies while producing tones similar to a whistle flute. Each ocarina is unique, with colours, sizes, and designs varying from piece to piece. Handmade and full of character, it makes a wonderful gift for musicians and collectors alike. Not suitable for children under 3 years old due to small parts.
