Fascinating facts:

• Ocarinas rank among the oldest known musical instruments, played by ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs and Mayans.
• While early variations were found in ancient China, the egg-shaped Ocarina earned its name in 19th century Italy, inspired by ‘oca,’ meaning goose.
• Played similarly to a recorder, but with the hands held next to each other instead of one over the other.
