Why NOBODY Knows the Ocarina

Ocarinas deserve a lot more recognition than they have.

We'll discuss why they're relatively unknown and how we might be able to popularize them more!

Note that when I say "ocarinas lack establishment," I am referring to a comparable level with other instruments. There are numerous amazing ocarina communities and plenty of fantastic resources, such as those by ‪@DavidErickRamos‬ and ‪@OcarinaOwl‬. However, if you compare the ocarina community to how many instruments are simply a normal part of society, that is what I mean!

ALSO note that some of this analysis is conjecture from putting together pieces that seem obvious—it's not 100% certain that my theory on overlapping niches with the recorder is correct (I'm an expert on ocarinas, not recorders), so if you know I'm wrong about anything, please correct me in the comments~
