Description

Ocarina Puoro is a wind instrument embellished in traditional kōwhaiwhai patterns, and is a 3D printed contemporary puoro. 

The patterns are of a whai (stingray) - a significant animal in Te Moana nui a Kiwa that represents protection, wit, and adaptability.

Six colourways are available. Four are printed with special gradient, iridescent filament inspired by the seasons - Raumati, Ngahuru, Kōanga and Hōtoke. Pango and Mā are printed with matte filament. You can find the pango and mā colourways here.

DISCLAIMER: These are not traditional Taonga Puoro and ocarina are not of Māori origin. Ocarina have origins from various cultures including Central America, Europe and Asia.

The ocarina was the lovely colour I expected from your site, and the designs on the body were lovely. However, it did not have the resonant musical sound I expected and wanted. It also continued slightly breathy. I am so sorry, I would have liked to say something better. Unfortunately I can't.

Average overall

After a horrible ordeal to even recieve my order, this was more if a kids toy compared to others I have. For the price as well. Each to their own

It’s not what I thought it would be. This is not Maori or Taonga Puoro so I believe your marketing is deceitful as you indicate this is something that it is not. Why not just call it Ocarina and not disrespect its South American heritage or our Maori heritage. Outside of your deceitful and disrespectful marketing, it does make sounds. Not great sounds as it sounds as plastic as the materials used. I would say its place is more of a toy for kids not much more. 2 stars as it kinda does what it’s supposed to do, but given the fraudulent marketing, it doesn't deserve anything more.

Thank you for this Taonga Puoro. Will you be making these with different/smaller hole sizes?!? I found the holes way too big for my fingers. Nga mihi

Such a beautiful taonga to use within my whānau. I love that my 18 month year old can pick it up and give it a go. The oro from this taonga helps settle my kōtiro.
