You can close your eyes and be transported by the sometimes enchanting, sometimes haunting, or even surreal tones of the kalimba.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kalimba is essentially a set of tines that play a tone when struck.  The resonation board can be a solid piece of wood or it can be hollow (like mine as you can see).  The kalimba is usually played with your thumbs but can be played with your other fingers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Kalimba-1024x768.webp 1024w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Kalimba-768x576.webp 768w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Kalimba-rotated.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Kalimba-1024x768.jpg\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Kalimba-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Kalimba-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Kalimba-rotated.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-1085 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My 17-key kalimba.  Nothing fancy, just lovely<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The amazing part about the Kalimba is that even though the concept is one-of-a-kind, there is no kalimba that is exactly the same as another.  Each kalimba differs in its sound qualities and timbre.  One kalimba will sound more organic, gritty, and metallic, and others will sound more ethereal and smooth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasons why the kalimba is <em>cool<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Each kalimba offers different sound qualities.

Additionally, the harmonica sound can be shaped by your hands, your throat, and your mouth cavity.  And past that, advanced harmonica playing involves pitch bends which require exhausting techniques called overblowing and overdrawing&#8211;and that&#8217;s really just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Put all that together, and you have one of the most expressive instruments that I know of.  It&#8217;s an incredible instrument once you get to know it.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve absolutely loved listening to and watching Indiara Sfair.  Her ability to express emotion with the harmonica is second to none.  If you don&#8217;t think the harmonica meets the cool category after watching some of it then&#8230; well.

Eyck developed her own precise eight-finger-position playing technique by the age of 16 and published the first extensive theremin method book The Art of Playing the Theremin. Her method is now used by thereminists around the world and has revolutionized how the instrument is played. She has performed all around the world, collaborated with contemporary artists from a variety of genres, and has performed or recorded with rock legend Steve Vai, singer-songwriter Gotye, DJ Jeff Mills, guitarist Jim Moginie, Tangerine Dream, multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier, and vocalist Theo Bleckmann, among others.

You can see in the picture directly above there are two parallel, silvery rectangles underneath the strings.  Those are called &#8220;pickups&#8221;.  These pickups transmit the electromagnetic interference caused by plucking the vibrating strings into an electrical signal which is then amplified in a special speaker called an amplifier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The electronics on a guitar are complex, and to further make this more complicated, most guitarists use signal processing, often in the form of pedals, so the guitarist can adjust a particular effect by stomping their foot on it as their hands are busy playing the guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Guitarists have to practice for years to master the guitar.  It&#8217;s a deep instrument you can spend your life learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The number of different sounds you can make with various effects is infinite.  You&#8217;ll hear the electric guitar in songs that you might not realize have an electric guitar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve heard the guitar. You&#8217;ve seen it.  But it&#8217;s no doubt one of the coolest instruments out there, even if it&#8217;s one of the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ammo-Box Guitar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Proving my earlier point that the body of the guitar is less important for an electric guitar than for an acoustic guitar, I absolutely loved seeing these &#8220;ammo-box&#8221; guitars from Justin Johnson:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"&amp;quot;Gimme Back My Bullets&amp;quot; on AMMO BOX GUITAR! - Lynyrd Skynyrd Guitar Cover\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_AdZ2_tJOLu4\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FAdZ2_tJOLu4%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AdZ2_tJOLu4\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M37S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-09-25T14:09:12Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_AdZ2_tJOLu4\" data-src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FAdZ2_tJOLu4%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">&quot;Gimme Back My Bullets&quot; on AMMO BOX GUITAR! - Lynyrd Skynyrd Guitar Cover<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/AdZ2_tJOLu4\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FAdZ2_tJOLu4%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"&amp;quot;Gimme Back My Bullets&amp;quot; on AMMO BOX GUITAR! - Lynyrd Skynyrd Guitar Cover\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\ud83c\udfb8\ud83c\udfb8 DOWNLOADABLE TABS FOR THIS SONG: https:\/\/www.musicnotes.com\/l\/H9fSP This 3-String guitar from Joys Guitars was made out of an old empty Ammo Box, and when I took it out of the box I swear I heard it whisper &quot;let&#039;s play some &#039;Gimme Back My Bullets&#039; \u200bby @SkynyrdOfficial!&quot; The combo of this guitar and @HughesandKettneramps Black Spirit 200 floor amp made it easy to dial in some deep &amp; dirty swamp rock tone. I added a Wild Dog Stomp foot pedal for a kick drum sound. I love the melodies in Skynyrd songs, and while the guitar riffs are what made me fall in love with their music, writing these fingerstyle arrangements has really made me appreciate how perfectly the melodies flow over the riffs and how catchy and organic they are. If you dig this arrangement, check out the &quot;Four Walls of Raiford&quot; and &quot;Ballad of Curtis Loew&quot; arrangements I recently posted.

Finally, he creates a new electric violin loop as a vamp to close the song where he also utilizes the &quot;octave up&quot; feature and a distortion pedal.

It was invented in the 1920s (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/art\/vibraphone\">source<\/a>), and it kind of has that steampunk vibe where you have a blend of ancient technologies with new technologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vibraphone is essentially a xylophone with a special moving plate with holes in it that shuffles back and forth underneath the bars of the instrument.  This shuffling creates a vibrato effect, hence the name vibraphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-1024x711.avif 1024w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-1152x800.avif 1152w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-768x533.avif 768w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone.avif 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-1024x711.webp 1024w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-1152x800.webp 1152w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-768x533.webp 768w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-1024x711.jpg\" height=\"711\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-1152x800.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/vibraphone.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-1545 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve heard the vibraphone, but you may not have known how it works.

They are incredible instruments.  They are limited in that they are programmed to play one specific song for their entire lives, but the amazing detail in construction is nothing short of amazing&#8211;particularly if you remember that music boxes have been made for hundreds of years (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/art\/music-box\">source<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A music box primarily works from a programming wheel or disc that rotates and causes notes to be struck&#8211;in the example below you see that metal tines are plucked directly from the programming wheel.  The charm of a music box is that the programming wheel is rotated with a hand crank.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-1024x768.avif 1024w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-1067x800.avif 1067w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-768x576.avif 768w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox.avif 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-1024x768.webp 1024w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-1067x800.webp 1067w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-768x576.webp 768w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-1024x768.jpg\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MusicBox.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-1549 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Music Box<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of a little music box we have that is powered by the attached crank:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The box has to be created incredibly precisely to play such a beautiful melody<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The box resonates amazingly for how small it is.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The mechanics of the crank, the programming wheel, and the tines all working together is a marvel<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of designs for a programmed music box&#8211;here is an example of one from 1902 that&#8217;s pretty large:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"1902 Regina Music Box Double Comb - Vintage Music Bizet The Toreador&amp;#039;s Song \/ March Video Game Song\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_aLZun0gxXII\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FaLZun0gxXII%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aLZun0gxXII\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M1S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2015-10-23T23:55:56Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_aLZun0gxXII\" data-src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FaLZun0gxXII%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">1902 Regina Music Box Double Comb - Vintage Music Bizet The Toreador&#039;s Song \/ March Video Game Song<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aLZun0gxXII\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FaLZun0gxXII%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"1902 Regina Music Box Double Comb - Vintage Music Bizet The Toreador&amp;#039;s Song \/ March Video Game Song\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Here is a 1902 Regina Model 11, Double Comb Regina playing Bizet&#039;s Vintage Music Toreador&#039;s Song, Disc #1454.

If you want to learn more about the djembe and how it compares to bongos and congas, check out my article, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/bongo-conga-djembe-faq\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s cool about the djembe is the number of different sounds you can get out of one drum.  You can tilt the drum to get a different bass projection, slap or flick the drum in the center of the drumhead or on the edges&#8211;all of these will give you a different sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the djembe varies in its sound wildly depending on the design, size, and shape of the instrument.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talking Drums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of a drum, you think of a single unpitched sound that sounds the same no matter when you hit it (unless you tighten or loosen the drumhead).  Some drums are an exception to this, including the talking drum!  (and the Timpani, off the top of my head)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The talking drum is an ancient instrument that hails from countries in Africa. It&#8217;s got an amazing variety of sounds you can make by playing different parts of the drumhead but additionally, you can squeeze the drum to change the pitch of the instrument.

Imagine having 20 or so of those stacked horizontally like you would in a dishwasher and you roughly have the concept of the glass harmonica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You might wonder if this instrument is just a novelty&#8211;but the iconic sound of The Nutcracker features the glass harmonica in The Dance of the Sugar Plum Faeries.<\/strong>  That ethereal sound that introduces the song is often played by the glass harmonica.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Sounds of a Glass Armonica\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_eEKlRUvk9zc\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FeEKlRUvk9zc%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eEKlRUvk9zc\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M18S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2013-04-09T16:17:38Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_eEKlRUvk9zc\" data-src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FeEKlRUvk9zc%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Sounds of a Glass Armonica<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eEKlRUvk9zc\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FeEKlRUvk9zc%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Sounds of a Glass Armonica\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Composer William Zeitler plays a glass armonica, invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1761. For more on this fascinating story read the full article here on the Toronto Star: http:\/\/on.thestar.com\/2jmXp0E. Or read an excerpt of Joe Fiorito&#039;s article below: Rare instrument makes an eerie Toronto debut: Fiorita The mad scene, in Donizetti\u2019s \u201cLucia di Lammermoor,\u201d will feature a rare glass armonica performance by William Zeitler. The second thing you learn, when you learn to drink wine, is how much fun it is to run a wet finger along the rim of the glass in order to make an eerie musical sound. The third thing you learn is that, if you run your wet finger around the rim of a glass half-full, it will produce a different sound than that of a glass that is full. The first thing you learn? If you have to ask, you have never had a glass. Now, let the curtain rise on Lucia di Lammermoor. I will, as usual, explain: The Canadian Opera Company is mounting a production of Donizetti\u2019s masterwork; during the performance, eerie music plays as Lucia goes mad. That music was written for a rare and peculiar instrument; the dull call it a bowl organ; snobs call it a hydrocrystalophone; you and I will call it what its inventor, Ben Franklin, called it. The glass armonica. Franklin, who could not refrain from inventing things, was in England in 1761 when he saw a fellow playing glasses filled with water; intrigued, he had some glass bowls made, large and small; these he mounted on a spindle, and he used a treadle to make them spin. Then he wet his fingers, and Bob was his uncle. Enter William Zeitler. He is from California, and has been brought here for the Lucia. We met the other day, at the Four Seasons Centre. He led me backstage to a rehearsal hall. We talked as we walked. He said, \u201cThe music for the mad scene was composed for the armonica; it has an other-worldly sound, but that first player was a pain in the neck, according to the story, so it\u2019s usually played on the flute.\u201d And, of course, there are more flutes than armonicas in the world. The rehearsal hall looks like a high school gym without the basketball nets. The armonica sat off to the side on its own table; squint, and it looks like bubbles; you want to hold your breath. Zeitler, a trusting soul, left me alone for a moment, saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to find some dihydromonoxide.\u201d Water, to you. He needed to wash his hands. His fingers must be oil-free when he plays. \u201cYou want your hands squeaky-clean. I use lava soap; four out of five armonica players agree.\u201d That\u2019s a joke. There are only five or six armonica players in the world. He returned with a bowl of water and set it down. Water, fingertips; rosin, bow; same thing. Zeitler\u2019s first instrument was the piano, but as soon as he heard the armonica, he was hooked. He had one made 15 years ago in Waltham, Mass., by the late and legendary Gerhard Finkenbeiner. Zeitler\u2019s instrument has 44 bowls, some of which are rimmed with gold to indicate the equivalent of what would be, on the piano, black keys. The set of bowls is worth &#36;36,000. He travels with them in a special nesting case; the rest of the instrument \u2014 spindle, brackets etc. \u2014 accompanies him as excess baggage. He then turned on an electrical device which set the spindle spinning, wet his fingers and began to play the mad scene from the opera. The music is haunting; if I say it is mesmerizing, I\u2019m not kidding. Mesmer; look him up. Zeitler has recorded 10 CDs, eight of which are his own music; the other two contain music written for the instrument by Mozart and others. When he finished with the mad scene, I, cheekily, asked him to play \u201cStairway To Heaven.\u201d He, cheekily, obliged. Jimmy Page, but better. \u201cLucia di Lammermoor?\u201d That\u2019s Italian for \u201cI love Lucy.\u201d No, it isn\u2019t. But you should go and see the opera, if only to hear Mr. Zeitler rock his bowls.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px auto;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eEKlRUvk9zc\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ocarina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ocarina owes its fame to the renowned and popular Zelda video game franchise, particularly to &#8220;The Ocarina of Time&#8221; where the video game protagonist plays the ocarina in order to travel backwards and forwards in time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ocarina-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ocarina.webp 1200w,https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ocarina-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ocarina-1024x683.jpg\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ocarina-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ocarina.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ocarina-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-1481 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ocarina is actually a very loosely defined term&#8211;the ocarina is essentially a chamber that can be modified in tone by covering or uncovering the holes on the instrument.

It&#8217;s very impromptu, the musicians may never have met each other, and many sessions don&#8217;t have any sheet music reading&#8211;all the music is memorized.  And long-time players of sessions can jump in even if they&#8217;ve never played that particular song before.  It&#8217;s really incredible, to me.
