Wide pitch range, easy to play, comparatively little air needed
Easy to learn, intuitive to play, just like whistling or singing, with no complicated fingering
The Bocarina nose flute is child's play to learn and requires absolutely no musical knowledge It is simply held against the open mouth, which acts as a resonance chamber (replacing the body of the flute). Then just blow through the nose into the upper hole. The sound is altered easily and intuitively by making slight movements in the mouth/throat area, just as in whistling or singing. You can also create a range of other effects, such as shaking the Bocarina to and fro (vibrato), warbling with the tongue and many more. This makes the Bocarina suitable for both beginners and advanced players. Its consistently high quality makes it an impressive professional instrument suitable for use on stage and for playing demanding pieces. In addition, the Bocarina is already being used successfully as a therapeutic aid in the treatment of speech and language disabilities and for problems with the respiratory tract, since it presents an effective but play-based method of training fine motor skills of the mouth, throat, nose and for respiratory coordination. The Bocarina is currently the best (affordable) series-produced nose flute on the market This has been confirmed several times by comparison tests carried out by nose flute enthusiasts and searchable on the Internet (e.g. at noseflute.org). Compared with other nose flutes, the fact that it is so easy to play, has such a wide pitch range and a warm, sweet sound, together with its robust quality (food-safe ABS plastic) and its aerodynamic design make it an impressive instrument. The Bocarina is made in South Africa.
