Ocarica

A friend of mine bought me this instrument in Taiwan two years ago. It is called "陶笛" in Chinese and ocarica in English. I thought it is originated from the China. But, to my surprise, its earliest use was in Bologna, Italy.
I never practice hard on it. So far, i have only played once or twice. Most of the time, it's hiding in the box peacefully on my rack.haha..

front..
and back..

This morning my student found it on my rack. She was so EXCITED to play on it and even asked me if i have the flippleflute (竖笛). So you can guess, that my English class had turned to Music class.. That little one knew many piano pieces but suprisingly little of folk-songs.

She liked this folk most and couldn't stop playing it with the flippleflute..

This one, I finally recalled it's rhyme..It's such a lovely melody!

Later on, there was melody of flippleflute from my neighbour. I guess it made us recalled of our childhood, isn't it? :-)

I have the same thing, but I forgot from where.
Same as you I tried it once or twice and then kept it inside the box, lol~
The shape is a bit different but in the overall they look same.

ya..it comes in different shape and size..it is easy to play with actually..just that sometimes when you are playing alone, you don't have much fun, it's different when you play instrument with children. I guess you know it well.. :-)
