If you are interested in the university ocarina course in Italy,The Conservatory of music of Ferrara have published the official study program. Go to this link...
Ciao. Which are the requisite for admission? Which is the cost? Also... I have interest for the plan of study for the ocarina. Thing intends for other...

Hi Missy and welcome to Ocarinaclub. You can find more info on peruvian whistling pots at Daniel Statnekov's site here... http://www.peruvianwhistles.com/ ...
Shape matters a great deal! As the vessel shape changes from a perfect sphere into a narrow "carrot" shape, the dominant harmonic/first overblown harmonic...
Dave: I have a local supplier for all these chemicals, but I have no idea where you are located. Please tell me your country and city and I may be able to put...
Yes, that too. Is there a way to figure out how close is too close to the voicing to have a finger hole? Also, with the cone shape...does it matter if the...
Thanks for the lead. I'd found his website, very informative, much to take in. I'm very interested in the trance inducing aspects of sound, and hope to hone my...
I will try and answer your questions and Armisis too. The object of an "air-reed voicing" is to create soundwaves by means of "The Bernoulli principle" or more...
So why do gemshorn makers still use the wide end for the mouthpiece? And with the ocarina, why not place the mouthpiece on the narrow end instead of near the...
Yes...and why might one have difficulty making a round voicing vs. a square one? Whenever I attempt it, it just doesn't work hardly at all. How can it make...
Believe me when I say, this group will most likely open your eyes to a lot of amazing info, answering many of the questions you ask and even those you don't...
... Eric - I checked to see if you were maybe on digest mode, but you get individual e-mails. Tell me, are you hitting reply in an on-board program or using...
Hey! It was originally through outlook express but when I moved over a province and changed Sp's I couldn't get it anymore but still have access online. I get...
You`re welcome Eric, You`ve done great with your ocs and they are still getiing better. I see that in your Youtube video`s. I am almost finishing another...
I recently made my first double harmonic ocarina. But I'm wondering how far apart the two chambers should be "de-tuned" to create the effect that Sharon...
The closer in tune they are the slower the beating. You probably want in the 10-20 hz range for psychic effects. Google "brain wave" to see what range we are...
Saying Hi! to everyone in the Ocarinaclub. I've recently discovered the joys of playing the ocarina and am glad to be in the club. I also enjoy playing the...
Hi Jack, Welcome to the group. Glad to see so many people interested in the ocarina these days. I make them out of clay... so if you want to make your own......
Hi Group, Has anyone ever used Laguna Ovencraft clay? If anyone has... How durable is the finished baked clay? Since this clay is only baked at a very low...
Jack, I have used this clay quite a bit, although not for ocarinas. I have used it on a pottery wheel and for free-form modeling. The stuff I used has a...
Many instrument designs are "Traditional". Although modern acoustics can produce better designs, stubborn instrument makers are slow to change. The Voicing is...
The purpose of a baffle is to reduce the amont of airmass that must be excited by the airstream. Somtimes this is called "Backpressure". A "wave" shaped ring...
Okay - trying to understand...so when you say that the smaller Harmonic chamber is tuned to a 5th or 4th, I mean that in theory, if we were to complete the...
Is there a way to calculate how much of a "drop" into the chamber would be too much of an airmass? What happens when you make a good-sized "drop" into the...
Thomas, do you have any idea how much of the volume of the upper (closest to the voicing hole) extends into the larger vessel, at least for purposes of...
Mike The proper formula for the distance between the center of an embouchure hole and the inner face of the "plug" on a flute is... 7 X (D/6) = Median distance...
Deb The ratio of a "5th" is 2/3. This is nearly Phi (0.618). It may be easier to draw a circle and then draw another one of 1/3rd size inside with one edge...
