Handmade ocarinas for the traditional music of Galicia and Ireland.
PRODUCT
The structure is designed inspiring by a Spanish artist, Maestro. Manuel Barreiro "Paparolo". A single-chamber and a doble-hole for the right pinky. It enables rythmic playing with chromatic and also diatonic scales, for Muiñeira, Xota, Reel and Jig. Of couse, it is ideal for playing Alalá and Air as well.
They are durable and maintenable due to firing in higher temperture. The colors and textures are entirely created through glazing and firing, with no paints or coating applied. It can be treated just like tableware.
The nomenclature is based on the standard by Paparolo and the classificaton of the recorder.
All products are manufactured in Japan, and are primarily intended for sale outside of Japan. Based on the Japanese yen prices shown below, actual selling prices may be slightly adjusted typically downward depending on the exchange rate.
