Ocarina

The ocarina, sometimes called the sweet potato, is a wind instrument. It is made up of an (usually) oval-shaped, enclosed space and four to thirteen finger holes. A mouth tube projects from it, often from the side. One sound hole exists, most often on the underside of the instrument's body. They are most often made of earthenware or ceramic, but many other materials may also be used, including plastic, wood, glass, and metal.
