OCARINA OF BAMBOO

Despite the fact that the instrument was originally clay or ceramic as built in the Bolivian altiplano, or Peruvian, these ocarinas have a similar sound. 
In the front are 6 holes which clog 3 and 3 with each hand, being at the rear 2 holes to be plugged by the fingers of both hands thumbs. To achieve a musical scale should be gradually uncovering the fingers from the bottom up starting for the first three holes of the right hand, then the remaining 3 from the left and finally the rear holes. The sound is achieved by gently blowing the small piece of bamboo. His record is an octave and a note:

 C - D - E - F- G - A - B - C - D. 

It is very simple to play.
