Yes, I’m playing an Ocarina on my iPhone. Not only do you interact with it by touch. You also have to blow into the microphone, as well. You don’t only have to play the Ocarina yourself… you can also listen to others.

Ocarina is the first true musical instrument created for the iPhone. Both experts and beginners will be amazed by this innovative player. Ocarina is sensitive to your breath, touch and movements, making it even more versatile than the original. Unlike other musical applications, there are no pre-compiled riffs so musicians will find unlimited opportunities for self-expression. Advanced options allow you to choose between diatonic, minor and harmonic scales. Or channel your favorite video game adventurer with Smule’s Zeldarian mode.

The ocarina is an ancient family of instrument (believed to date some 12,000 years), and one of the easiest instruments to learn. The Smule Ocarina both preserves this instrument and extends/transforms it for your iPhone. Blow into the phone/instrument. Control pitch with different fingerings. Learn to play countless melodies.

Wasn’t this a dance? Heyyyy Ocarina! Ok, maybe not. But it’s close! And… it’s just as much fun!
