an English Pendant.
Basic Overview[]
The "Pendant" style ocarina comes in two types, the English and the Peruvian. Generally, they are small oval shaped balls which differ in size, but are generally no longer than 2.5 inches, and no thicker than 1.5 inches. They are best for producing high pitched notes, and are considered the simplest and easiest Ocarinas to play on. They are known as "Pendant Ocarinas" because they can be worn on the neck.
