The
Epalladio art workshop presents a
wide variety of ocarinas hand made
by the artist Lotte Neumann. Having
studied each figure, with
concentrated detail, Lotte Neumann
has brought this ancient musical
instrument to life once again.
Every
piece has its own unique character
in form and sound. Our ocarinas are
handmade with high fired stoneware
clay, offering durability and sound
quality, giving our costumers the
satisfaction of purchasing a quality
item. They are all handmade one by
one using a technique that dates
back to ancient times, called push
molds.

As an
artist Lotte Neumann is
compelled to make sure that
every ocarina is tuned
according to the shape and
form of each one.
The Ocarina is an
ancient form of playing
music with a historical
value having been passed
down for generations in
order to explore the
fascinating experience of
making music with clay. Here
at Epalladio we are honored
to be a part of the
continuation of the
historical path that the
ocarina has followed for
thousands of years.

Enjoy the experience of playing with
these ocarinas just like the people
of the ancient world did for
generations.
Let’s keep this tradition alive!!
