Ocarinas (ock-uh-REE-na) seem to be relatively unknown, but in my personal opinion are some of the most wonderful sounding instruments out there. Due to its enigma status, there is little about them on the web, especially when compared to other instruments, particularly strings. So I started this blog in hopes of inspiring ocarinists, those who are curious, and sharing what I love.
Shapes, sizes, types, colors, sounds, weights, textures...Ocarinas vary in so many ways, and all collectively add to their over all uniqueness. From piercing, shrill, and sharp to haunting, deep, and soothing, the song of the ocarina holds a beauty that few instruments share. This blog talks about Ocarinas, and shares my thought of them. This is also where I'll be sharing my experiences while I learn to play this unique little fellow. For instance, 'As the Ocarina Sings' page will hold a list of songs played on Ocarina. I always take requests, and am looking for guests Ocarinists. Email me at ocarinassong@yahoo.com to drop requests, or leave a comment.
Later, I'll introduce you to my personal Ocarina family. I have three at the moment (and one more on its way). :] I hope you enjoy the enchanting world of ocarinas as much as I do.

Congrats on your new site! I am impressed! This site design and logo is really, really beautiful and I think portrays almost a visual representation of the grace and beauty of Ocarina music. I hope people discover and develop an appreciation for this amazing instrument.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny! I used Photoshop for the logo. I was a bit worried if it would come out, but I really appreciate what you said. It means a lot!
