Humpback Whale "Koholā" Ocarina

All of our instruments are finely tuned and can play thousands of songs. The 6
hole Whale is tuned to C soprano and plays 15 possible notes. We also include a
song sheet with six songs to get started. No need to read music as the diagrams
show where your fingers are placed on the instrument.

The Humpback whale or Koholā can range in length from 39–52 ft and weigh
nearly 79,000 lbs! It is no wonder when people see these beautiful creatures
for the first time, it is a memory they will not soon forget. Males produce a
complex song lasting 10 to 20 minutes, which they repeat for hours at a time.
Its purpose is not clear, though it may have a role in mating. The whales
typically migrate up to 16,000 miles each year spending winter months here in
Hawaii to give birth. Like other large whales, the humpback was and is a target
for the whaling industry. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, its
population fell by an estimated 90% before a moratorium was introduced in 1966.
While stocks have since partially recovered, entanglement in fishing gear,
collisions with ships, and noise pollution continue to impact the 80,000
humpbacks worldwide
