Ocarina

[Twin2]

My 13 year old son has been wanting an ocarina for some time now. He asked for one maybe six months ago, and has come back and asked again. I know he wants this badly. He has talked to his band teacher about it (my son plays the alto and baritone saxophones). His teacher told him the challenge would be in the fingering, because the ocarina takes less air to play. I talked to the band teacher at my school and she said they are really just a toy, he'd have fun with it.

My concern is I really don't know anything about ocarinas. It is a flute-like instrument from mid-evil times. My son knows about this instrument as the instrument used on some Zelda games. Now, I don't play video games (I can't understand them--really), but my husband has judged this game to be acceptable for our son. So, ignorant to both Zelda games and the ocarina I wanted to ask the opinion of others.

I guess I am asking if anyone knows of anything evil that ocarinas are associated with? It seems like a neat instrument that my son can really have some fun with.

i dont know if you already solved this problem but hi my name is James, yes i was named after King James in the bible.I am a big christian i know alot of things about the bible and ocarinas. I am a big ocarina player and i might be the only one in my area. You should let your son play the ocarina here is why
the ocarina plays a big role in christian history, music history, and 90 percent of old style christian music have ocarinas in it.
it is possible that jesus made some ocarinas, back in the biblical days an ocarina was a huge thing now in these days nobody gives them any respect i will start a youtube channel and show you i havent put vieos down but my channel is ocarinaman96. But we are getting off topic here back then ocarinas were either made by ceramic smiths, claymasters, or carpenters, and everybody knows jesus was a carpenter so it is possible he made ocarinas, god told me there are alot of ocarinas in heaven, he said most of the angels in the band play ocarina and flute. Do you know the story of when jesus went to that landlords house and the landlord did all this stuff for jesus arrival. he had a band there was a ocarina in that band.

I think you should let your son play ocarina because it really good for the soul and brings you closer to christ.

May God Bless You
