STL Ocarina is entering a new era of customization. Thanks to advances in 3D design and printing, we can now create ocarinas customized not only in color and appearance, but also in key and scale. From Major and Minor to Pentatonic and more unusual scales, these new possibilities allow us to build instruments around the music you want to play—all while maintaining the clear, beautiful sound you expect from an STL Ocarina.
