Saving Private Ocarina

 

Military members suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or others who are experiencing an increase in stress levels might find relief in a soothing cost-effective musical instrument called the ocarina or the newly released teacarina, both produced by STL Ocarina (http://www.stlocarina.com).

During the first and second World Wars, servicemen often were issued a pocket-sized ocarina to boost morale. As a result, the ocarina gained popularity in America and Europe, but later fell into obscurity.

Dating back over 12,000 years to Mayan history, the ocarina has experienced a resurgence of interest thanks to fans of the video game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time". STL Ocarina designs the pocket-size, pottery wind instruments in all shapes and colors to professional and aspiring musicians the world over.

Also for those experiencing stress, there's nothing like a soothing cup of hot tea — especially one that doubles as an easy-to-play musical instrument! The new teacarina is a true original: a combination teacup and ocarina that lets you play simple tunes between sips of your favorite hot drink.

Heather Scott, a spokesperson for STL Ocarina who is a flutist currently earning her master's degree in flute performance, believes the ocarina is an easy instrument to learn to play while reducing stress.

Heather can provide insight to the following:

·         A pocket-sized history: Heather discusses the ocarina's worldwide origins, from ancient China and India to the Mayan, Aztec and Inca cultures of Central and South America.

·         "Zelda" ocarinas: Worldwide interest in the popular video game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" prompted STL Ocarina to produce several new models. Heather tells how these instruments and accessories are designed to appeal to game fans.

·         Saving Private Ocarina: Heather discusses how the ocarina used to be distributed to our military members as a tool to boost morale and how today, this instrument can combat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
