Ocarina from Tsuchibue Kobo Pieta Alto C 12-hole type. This is an EXcellent model, with enhancements over the standard version, resulting in a higher-quality finish. The color has been made unique to differentiate it. The breath pressure required for the flute is not very strong. It is designed to sound clearly even when blown gently, so it may be suitable for women. The mouthpiece is round, not the pointed or teardrop shape that makes the highest notes easier to produce. Instead, it requires you to open your throat and mouth wide, playing like you're singing "to-o" (as in tofu). If you blow "fu," the highest notes will falter, so you need to be careful. However, the gentle and warm tone of this ocarina will soothe your weary heart.
