My daughter Hannah just loves to sing, make music or better yet make noise. She is a member of her school choir and she is one that enjoys making her own music with her plastic recorder. This Christmas I gave Hannah something I knew she would love, a 12 hole Hobbit Ocarina.
The 12 Hole Tenor Ocarina “The Hobbit” is about 5 inches long, accurately tuned in the key of C Major, with a pitch range of 13 notes. It also has the capability of performing sharps and flats.
- Inspired by the Hobbit
- Free instructional booklet
- Lord of the Rings songbook included
- Neck strap
- Beautiful Tone
To listen to what sounds an ocarina can make, watch this video below (inspired by The Hobbit):
Before I wrapped this and gave it to my daughter, I had to be the first one to try it. I can’t say that my music sounded good but I like that this comes with an instructional booklet as Hannah is eager to learn how to make beautiful tunes. I kind of want to learn how to play it too!
The STL Ocarina website has this hobbit style ocarina as well as a large variety of other ocarinas in different shapes, colors and prices. For more information, visit: www.stlocarina.com.
This looks like a cool instrument. My oldest plays the clarinet and I bet she could figure out how to play this too. Thank you for sharing, I haven’t every seen this before but then again I don’t watch movies like The Hobbit or Harry Potter.
Ocarinas are fun, and what a beautiful glaze on this one – so festive and spring-like. I had one as a kid, too.
This sounds really cool – my son would love to try this.
it’s a really pretty sounding instrument- but it’s also almost a piece of art in and of itself!!
I’ve never seen these! My daughter is a music freak and would love this.
Wow, I had no idea the Ocarina was a real instrument until now. I know quite a few little girls that would love to have one of these.
My son saw one for these and was asking for it. I know he would love it.
I had no idea what this was until I read this post. Such a fun and thoughtful gift, and very neat!
My daughter would love this!
Sounds like your daughter and my son are at the same place in their music careers- LOL. Mine is in the school chorus and plays the recorder as well. 🙂 This is a very interesting instrument and sure to be a hit with hobbit lovers!
That is awesome! Wonderful instrument!
I have never seen one of these, Very interesting! It would make a great gift for the music lovers in my family.
This is so very awesome. My daughter loves music and The Hobbit, so this would be perfect for her!
This is so neat! I didn’t know this was an instrument.
I have actually never heard of this but it looks REALLY cool!!
This is so beautiful! I’ve never seen anything like it before!
Haven’t heard of this instrument before, But it does look like a perfect gift for a music lover.
What a beautiful looking instrument! This would be a perfect accompaniment to The Hobbit book for a young reader. What a great way to engage them!
What a special present! It’s beautiful too. I love anything that gets kids to use their creativity. Might be something good for one of my grandkids.
I have never seen The Hobbit, but this looks like a beautiful piece!
sounds really nice and it’s beautiful in appearance too! Love the color!
What a great present and a wonderful instrument. I wish I had one of these when I was a little girl, because learning how to breathe is so important for a successful singer.
I bought one of these for a friend like 10 years ago!
That is SO pretty! I love that it’s functional, too. I want to learn how to use one!
This is so neat! I love the LOTR movies and forgot about this instrument until just now!
How cool is that?!? I’ve never seen anything like this before!
I have two wooden ocarinas and I bought them for the kids because of the Zelda video games. 🙂
Wow, this is the strangest instrument I have ever seen. I do like that it is something small I can put in my pocket and use to createbeautiful music.
Great looking instrument! I bet your daughter just loved it. I know my daughter would have had fun figuring out how to play it
That looks like a really cool instrument! It is definitely not something I have ever seen before.
You learn something new everyday! I’ve never seen one of these, it’s beautiful. I really love the color and bet that your daughter enjoyed it. 🙂
This is such a cool thing, I had never heard of anything like this before… but I am sure my Hobbit loving nephew would love this.
What a beautiful sounding instrument, they did a great job with that video! Keep on encouraging her, music is a great skill to have.
This looks like so much fun. I bet my daughter would enjoy it. She’s very musical.
My daughter would love this as she is so into Zelda. We saw a whole Ocarina store at the Texas Renaissance Festival and she was wanting one so badly!
