Hi Mago, I've done much like that but so far still no sound. No more water but just got the idea of using a candle and blowing into the sound hole while...
Hi, Mago here, One of the reasons I like your emails, Verne, is that your messages are like complex puzzles. Bars and dots... clicks and grunts... Mesoamerican...
Hi Mago, Hope we don't drive the rest to distraction over this. Grin but what the heck they must be curious. No moving candle and tried something new which...
Hey, I only have a 6 hole ocarina right now and was thinking about trying to find another. I've looked around and found that the twin chamber ones seem...
I suspect the sharp edge of the ramp is too low and most of the air is going over the top instead of being split somewhat evenly. A possible solution if that...
Hi Mike, Glad you joined us here. Your idea is one I've been thinking is my only chance. I've made a lot of these things but this is the first that's given...
Hi, Mago here, AHA... BINGO!!!!! I found your leak.... or rather the lack thereof. Your soundhole is too small. For an OC which is 2 1/2 inches wide and 5...
Hi, Mago here, Mike has a point. You have to watch where your ramp edge is. This is especially important to the way you make your OC, Verne. The way I make...
Verne, back again! Right on, Mago, that's the only thing I haven't tried and next on my mind. The tone I get right now is so nice and low but like you said...
Say, you're right on the fipple this day, aren't you!!!! Good too. GRIN Hi, Mago here, Mike has a point. You have to watch where your ramp edge is. This...
Hi, Mago here, Excellent. Did you make the soundhole bigger... and by how much? c(::) ... From: Verne H. Bohlender Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2004 4:52 PM To:...
Hi Mago, The sound hole is now just a little over half an inch wide and I now have three sounds from it so far. This is FH11 and 12 plus FH1. Not really...
Ive been reading the banter between Mago and Vern (with others) and thought you might like some insite and some diagrams. The alignment of the windway exit and...
Thanks, Thomas for this and it's what I've thought is the cause too. Somehow the theory and the actual thing are two different things and inn practice need...
Yes, please elaborate on the voicing Mike thomashastay <thomashastay@...> wrote: Ive been reading the banter between Mago and Vern (with others) and ...
Sorry about the mispelling Verne Michael: I would be glad to elaborate on voicing theory... Please refer to these diagrams for visualization(click on the blue-...
Verne http://www.organstops.org/h/Hohlflote.html The angle of the labium ramp is a "designers choice" factor. The average angle (if the underside of the ramp...
Thanks Thomas, Got it working beautifully but a lot of work as yet. It was a combo of things that did same and will sometime explain. Saved copies of these ...
I have thoroughly enjoyed your discussion and links, must have spent a couple hours traversing the different links. I will admit that the organ stops aren't as...
Michael, This is what I just found with the one I'm working on and experimenting on. First I made the Voice Hole (VH) about 1/4" square and then proceeded to...
Thanks for the update for the curiously minded. Last night I branched all over the world, Australia, Japan, Gemany, South America, USA, looking at various...
Michael I have made a few bamboo ocarinas from leftover pieces of bamboo in my own flutemaking. I have a few suggestions to save you time and prototypes. 1)...
Aha, so, Thomas, you are a flute maker, too. From your hints I'm guessing you make taverse blown flutes, right? Have you made any shakuhachi? That is the...
Michael You're welcome and yes, I have made Shakuhachi. The Shakuhachi voicing is a little tricky with its double angled labium ramp, you have to "backfill"...
Have you noticed strange things about a certain Ocarina? Did you make one with an "avaunte guard" (cutting edge) feature? Please tell! Here is a feature from...
Hello group, I've been lurking for a while now, but I had something on my mind and thought I'd open up a discussion about it. I guess this is directed more to...

GRIN, Spencer, 1. ReWrite your question. 2. Explain first what the word 'dissonance' means and fix up a couple of other typos so we can all understand and...
