This is the "Pecorino Ocarina AC Pipe" made by Mr. Chimura of Nagano. Mr. Chimura has already retired, and this ocarina is no longer available. It was common to wait over five years for an order back then, and it had already become a phantom instrument. This ocarina was received (2 years ago) from someone who attended Mr. Chimura's class in Nagano. The appearance has some paint touch-ups and is not in pristine condition, but it is a wonderful instrument for playing. The beautiful sound of the round mouthpiece and the clear, soaring high notes make it a masterpiece in ocarina history. Please consider this opportunity for your collection and for playing.
