This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes and which produce the most divine sound ever. We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played. We'll concentrate on "buccal cavity driven" nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones, plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.

Videos with the new Bocarina® Pro

The new Bocarina® Pro has just been released, and nose flute players have already recorded videos to test the new instrument. Let's watch some of them!

Ladies first, the Incomparable Nosy Diva just pushed online two records: the Bach's Badinerie with a plastics Boc, and the Trout (Die Forelle) by Schubert, at her ceramics Bocarina® Pro:

Badinerie (J.-S. Bach):





Die Forelle (F. Schubert):





Our Japanese friends also made videos with the Bocarina® Pro. Our friend Hanabue114 (Mr. Jun Tanioka) recorded several, including an introduction to the new instrument, and a comparison with the regular one:


Introduction:





Comparison Pro/Regular:




Mr. Hideki Arai, from Japan too, made a great recording of « Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika » (the national Republic of South Africa anthem) recording:

Mr. Makoto Yorokobi Nozaki (眞歓野崎) also made a video, available only on Facebook at this place

And we're sure there will be many more to come!

  1. Thank you very much for posting all those tributes to a great instrument! I am very happy that the new bocarina is finally available (well, not yet for everybody since it is not on sale yet, but it will be). It offers great possibilities to us nose flute players. One small step for a noseflute, one giant leap for noseflute players!
