The ocarina is a very old family of instruments, believed to date back thousands of years (the first known ocarina-like instruments appear about 12000 years ago). The earliest predecessors of the ocarina were made of natural materials such as stone, wood, bone, shell and gourd.

The Chinese made clay whistles and early versions of the 'Xun' in 4000 BCE.
