I tried buying an ocarina at this music shop in my hometown about seven years ago (well, "town" is a grand word - 2000 inhabitants XD), but they told me they didn't sell 'em.
Then they decided "ah! let's import some ocarinas from Japan for good Peter", and then they got a huge stock of ocarinas all of a sudden.

I bought two of them, and then they stopped selling them after a while. XD
