Do the Ocarina

Danny Banjo creates animations to help line up the Ocarina closer to my mouth and makes the hands closer together. He’s almost got it with this latest animation.


One thing that we found out is that I actually have an ocarina in real life. I thought it was an odd keepsake that I kept around the house. It turned out to be a pendant Ocarina. It is pretty fragile and cracked. I try to keep it together, but it’s a bit too old to be playing songs with.


The pendant has what appears to be a screaming man on one side, and a nice pattern design on the other. The patterned side has six holes, where the man side has two holes for eyes, two for a nose, and the big hole for the mouth. Danny says the mouth is big because that is where the reed splits the air to make the sounds.
