GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ record attempt

World Record AttemptThere will be an attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Largest Ocarina Ensemble, on 5th November 2013 at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

A massed choir of 1,200 children will lead an evening of Music and Ocarina-playing at a Young Supporters’ Concert, organised by Barnardo’s. The audience will be invited to take part in the World’s Largest Ocarina Ensemble. Everyone will play Ocarinas together.

2013 celebrates…

50 years of the English 4-hole Ocarina

30 years of Ocarinas in UK Schools

25 years of the English Plastic Ocarina

Rainbow Ocarinas™ are re-styled in celebration!

The English Ocarina is one of the simplest, cleverest musical instruments ever invented. Newly re-styled for 2013, Oc® are even more robust, even better tuned, of outstanding quality.

As you play, enjoy the rims around the finger holes, the deep rainbow colours, the new chunky mouthpiece and richly beautiful tone. It is the result of extensive research and advanced manufacturing technology:
