Re: [Ocarinaclub] Re: What IS that sound?

It tried to take me there but fowled up and didn't get quite there.  Think Bob's advice might be looked into and especially on those two highest notes.

But one other ocarina I had DID have this happen before firing, tinkered with the mouthpiece, and eventually it disappeared.
