This is an ocarina from Tsuchibue Kobo Pieta. It's an Alto C Excellent Special Selection model. From kneading the clay, to molding it, and then carving it out, everything is made by a single person. After overcoming the hurdles of drying, firing, tuning, etc., to become a musical instrument, sometimes a truly exceptional one emerges from the finished flutes. I make them all wishing they would all be good, but I suppose it's inevitable that there will be subtle differences, but this flute is [exceptional]! It has a wide air way and a large, round embouchure, so by changing the embouchure (mouth shape) and aperture (lips), a wide range of expression is possible, allowing for musically rich playing. I think the interesting thing about this flute is that it can freely express the tones of flutes, pan flutes, and the like. I myself am amazed by the greatness of this flute.
