I found that using a hair dryer can quickly warm up my ocarina. Although this is obviously useful during the winter time, it can also be helpful during the warmer season when the air conditioning is on.

Once your ocarina is ready to be played, I would then do some warm up exercises. If you would like some ideas on how to do a good warm up on the ocarina, please visit:
