Did you know that the name ocarina means โ€˜๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™ก๐™š ๐™œ๐™ค๐™ค๐™จ๐™šโ€™ in the Italian dialect?

Round shaped flutes have actually been around for thousands of years. However, the term only came about in 1853, when a teenager by the name of ๐—š๐—ถ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ developed a submarine-shaped clay flute and called it ๐™ค๐™˜๐™–๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™–.
