How to make an Ocarina from card - You will need a sheet of card, a pair of scissors, craft knife or such-like, glue, straight edge or steel ruler, something to cut on, and opposable thumbs. Then you can blow on it and go blooble bloople oopleoooh etc, and annoy everyone for hours on end.

  • So, is this, like, the musical instrument of choice on your planet, you lovable little green freak?
  • The first one was made towards the end of the nineteenth century by an Italian named Giuseppe Donati. ?! The ocarina is one of the oldest instruments evar! Damn near every ancient culture had ocarinas. Pretty much any vessel making society had ocarinas. Besides banging rocks together, you can't really find a more ancient musical instruments. We get the common name from that guy, but he wasn't the first to make them. The Good, Bad, and Ugly theme is on an ocarina. The jpgs aren't archived, and are pretty nessecary to make the ocarina from card.
  • And when you're bored of your homemade ocarina, you can use it in your next Dungeons and Dragons game. Very interesting link, Chy! Speaking of "Link," and because it's probably not worth a whole new FPP but is cool nonetheless: Listen to these Zelda songs, played on the Sweet Potato Ocarina
  • Oh good, I'm not the only one who can still remember all of the 'Ocarina of Time' songs. I've seen that site before. I've wondered whether Nintendo knows about it and if they care. Granted, they'd have a hard time claiming trademark on triangles, but they could still really make life rough for those guys.
  • I bloople I bleeple I like annoying people
