The insulation should not be a problem, unless there are large cracks or broken pieces... That would be very apparant. Coils should not be a problem at all,...
Thanks Ray! I was told by the same employee there that a few people came through there over the years, getting some things fired and one day a couple stopped...
I am trying to understand the graph. I am assuming that the horizontal axis is the hole size (what are the units? square millimeters?), but that would make the...
No problem. My wife is out of town, kids are in bed, movie is over... It has been a good many years since I have done claywork, so I have no idea what current...
Sorry. Yes, when the cone's rated temp is reached, it "relaxes". or bends, and the switch shuts the kiln off. When I used mine, I would fill it in the evening,...
Great post, Ray! Here, I fixed the next to the last sentance for you: "Clay is Dirt cheap, so do test runs." Heheheh, one of my favorite lines. The name for...
Congratulations on the kiln! $100 - a STEAL! Especially if they hardly used it! When you get to see the kiln closer, look up the kiln sitter model on the kiln,...
And yet another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx0CoDQVtvo&feature=related I am curious. Do you think these would work better if they had an actual fipple...
Haha, That`s not a wallmart Xun, but a Dutch Albert Heijn Ocarina... Funny video... I wonder if the sound is even better on an aluminium bottle. Bye, Arenda. ...
To all ocarina palyers. The Ministry of Education, University and Research of the Italian State (MIUR) has finally approved the establishment of the two years...
Bravo per il Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca dello Stato italiano! Che grande onore per la nostra umile strumento poco. Mi rende...
Hi, I'm an artist who started working with clay a few years ago and consider myself a beginner with that material. Recently I had a chance to hear/experience a...
Welcome! The fact that you get several tones is already a great sign :) The hardest part (for me, anyway!) is the voicing, or ramp area, of the whistle or...
Okay, I am getting closer at getting my ocarinas to sound good even with a larger body and extended range, but no where's near good, yet. I was wondering how...
In thinking about shape, I remembered the baffle question that came up a few years back, and there was the picture of the broken xun with the baffle built...
I tried several methods but never got it to work. My efforts were worse than without the baffle. There may be some people who have gotten the magic to work...
Thanks for the info Deb. The article looks great. The other link wasn't active. Have you made this kind of vessel/whistle ? And by the way, thanks for the...
Hi Missy... Good luck on the Whistling-Vessel. I`ve never made one, so I can`t really help you with that. But you`l learn the most from trying and gaining...
Greetings Missy, welcome to the group! I've made 3 whistling vessels so far. It is not too hard. you only need to get one good note from the little whistle...
Wow thank you so much!!! Yes I am serious but looking at this it looks as if i have to start as a total noob hehe... And find some good sources for the ...

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...
