Ocarina di Budrio

[Walden]

Ocarina di Budrio holds the distinction of being located in the region where the first ocarinas were made. The maker Fabio Menaglio is in succession to some of the great Italian ocarina makers of the past, producing a complete line of Donati-style ocarinas in red clay.

These are the ocarinas played in concert by the Gruppo Ocarinistico Budriese.

These ocarinas are a red clay. They don't have a fired-on glaze; they appear to have been finished after firing with varnish. They have a nice satin look.

At least it smelled like newly varnished furniture when I opened the box on my oc for the first time. ;D
