🎵 Key Takeaway The word "Ocarina" means "Little Goose." It was born to mimic birds. To create realistic bird calls, you need to master Flutter Tonguing (rolling your R's) and rapid Warbling on high notes. Before it was a concert instrument, the ocarina was a clay whistle used to call birds. If you are hiking in the woods, nothing is more magical than playing a bird call and having a real bird answer you. (Yes, this actually happens!). Here is how to unlock the "Nature Mode" of your instrument. Technique 1: The "Warble" (The Chirp) Pick a high note (like High C or D). While blowing, rapidly tap the finger below that note. For example: Hold High D, and tap the hole for C as fast as you can. It creates a "wobble" in the pitch that sounds exactly like a sparrow. The Forest Voice The Gradient Green Ocarina is designed for this. Its bright, clear high notes pierce through the air just like a bird's song. It looks and sounds like it belongs in the wild.
