We have all seen our fair share of piano and drum applications for the iPhone, but what we have not seen is an ocarina app.  Smule has been the first to take a very bold step in delivering an innovative Ocarina application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Now all you Zelda fans can rock out on your iPhone.

Both experts and beginners will be amazed at how sensitive that application is to your breath, touch and movements.  Advanced options allow you to change a diatonic, minor and harmonic scale.  Like most Smule applications, Ocarina is a very social application as well. Tapping on the Globe icon will allow you to see and here other Ocarina players around the world.

Playing the Ocarina is a lot easier than you think, just blow into the microphone to create sound. Be careful though considering the Ocarina is sensitive to how hard you blow.  They say practice makes perfect, as with any instrument it will take a bit of day to get use to. The Ocarina is easier to learn than the piano considering there is only 16 different finger combination possibilities. Now is your chance to learn the Ocarina, pick that application up in the App Store for only $.99.
