Paint and Play Ocarina
An ocarina sold with a paintbox, from paintandplayocarina.com, and the copy the museum keeps of it.
A note from the museum
This page is the museum’s account of a website it has preserved. It is not by the people who made it, and nothing from the site is republished here.
paintandplayocarina.com sold one idea: an ocarina, a palette of modelling paint and a brush, boxed together. The instrument was the Bear Paw ocarina, whose own site the museum also holds and which has its own page.
It is a small site and an easy one to overlook, and it is here because of what it represents rather than what it contains. Most of the sites on this page were made by people selling instruments to players. This one was selling an ocarina to somebody who did not play yet — as an object to decorate first and learn second. That is a different idea about what the instrument is for, and it is not documented anywhere else in this collection.

Rights, and what is published
Nothing.
Who made it is not known, and nobody has been asked. Preserving something and publishing it are different acts, and the museum will do the first without the second.
