    Not merely a novelty item

    The Teacarina might seem at first like a novelty given its unusual dual purpose, but it works well as both a teacup and an ocarina. As a teacup, it's decently sized and comfortable to hold. As an ocarina, it's a well-tuned 4-hole alto C with a pleasant timbre and comfortable breath curve.

    Nicely made, good sound

    I received two teacarinas which were well-packed and came with a fingering booklet with a few tunes. The blow hole is on the rim and the hole placement makes for a comfortable grasp. To my ear, the sound has good tuning and there is a logic to the scale pattern I look forward to making up my own tunes as well as playing some simple songs.

    My first musical instrument that is microwave-and-dishwasher-safe!

    I bought several of these as Christmas presents - "something for the person who has everything"! Messing around with my wife's teacarina, I discovered that you can play B-flat by cross-fingering, and F-sharp by half-holing.... this opens up a lot more repertoire for this instrument. My students are entertained and delighted when I play a song on my special teacup. I've arranged a couple dozen songs for it - birthday songs traditional and "barbarian" (Song of the Volga Boatmen), medieval and Renaissance songs, songs by SCA bards... the sky (and a one-octave range) is the limit! This instrument is a lot of fun, sounds great, will play a wide (well one octave) range of songs - PLUS it is microwave-and-dishwasher-safe!

    Great!

    Cute and plays well. Will not be drinking out of it but love that I can. 10/10 best instrument!
