Cherub Climber Ocarina

$432.00

One of a kind sculptural ocarina, born in the Clayground. Features a mushroom cherub who is hard at work climbing to the summit using ornamental bracket fungi for footholds. You are tasked with providing the soundtrack to his noble ascent!

Hand sculpted from speckled mid-fire ceramic clay, glazed with a combination of textural and smooth glazes, ornamental pieces finished with mother-of-pearl lustre.

Scale: A Maj, with an additional, mystical sounding natural F.

Notes: Low E, A, B, C♯, D, E, F, F♯

This five-hole tuning system is intuitive to play, yet contains a surprising amount of depth for those willing to search. Fingering order is modelled in a flute/clarinet/saxophone style, beginning with the right hand and using the left hand to access the highest notes. Finger instructions can be provided upon purchase.
