About the Ocarina Puoro

The team at KONEI have been collaborating with the team at VAKA and launched the OCARINA PUORO this Matariki, bringing together Tech and Te Ao Māori.

The Ocarina (an ancient term for wind instruments) Puoro (a Māori term for the sound, the resonance, the songs of the natural world) has been designed to reflect the bottle gourd, comes in 4 colourways to represent the 4 seasons, and is 3D printed in South Auckland hub GridMNK.
