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.

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.
New ZealandAverage 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
New ZealandIt’s okay for a plastic ocarina

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.
