Ocarina Puoro are 3D printed vessel flutes embellished with traditional kōwhaiwhai patterns.

They are not traditional Māori instruments, but the patterns are based on a whai (stingray) - a significant creature in Te Moana nui a Kiwa that represents protection, wit, and adaptability.

Each colourway is printed with a special gradient, iridescent filament inspired by the 4 seasons, Raumati, Ngahuru, Kōanga and Hōtoke - and also two new colourways, Pango and Mā.

Ocarina Puoro are made from 100% PLA plant-based bioplastic and renewable natural resources such as corn starch and tapioca products. 
All waste material from production is then used in the production of 100% recycled plastic panels.

Designed and produced by Vaka, an Auckland based education company. Each comes with an info card.

Watch the creator of Ocarina Puoro - Jesse Armstrong, Ngāti Hine - play the instrument HERE

DISCLAIMER: These are not traditional Taonga Puoro and Ocarina are not of Māori origin. Ocarina have origins from various cultures including Central America, Europe and Asia.

This item is designed and made in Aotearoa NZ
