0 an old type of wind instrument (= musical instrument that you blow), often made from clay, that is like an oval pot with holes for the fingers and a part that sticks out for the mouth --
Several makers have produced ocarinas with keys, mostly experimentally, beginning in the late 19th century.
Among the ceramic flutes are also effigy flutes, just as vessel flutes (ocarinas) are often shaped like a figurine.
It is known for its clay cuckoos a special kind of ocarina.
These ocarinas overcome the ocarina's usual limited range of notes.
The resonator in the ocarina can create overtones, but because of the common egg shape, these overtones are many octaves above the keynote scale.
The score also requires 50 ocarinas from the choir at various tunings.
The ocarina, xun, pan pipes, police whistle, and bosun's whistle are closed-ended.
The object has been identified as a musical instrument by the excavators, an ocarina-type globular ute.
