Charlie. Thanks for this (I've become a little befuddled in my old age ;-) I'm sorry if I confused the subject of shape, this was not intended. I wished to...

Hi Everyone! My name is Matt and I just got my first ocarina yesterday. It's a 10 hole alto in the key of G from Anita Feng (http:// www.anitasocarinas.com/)....
... Matt, you seem to know music so it should be simple. Your Doh, Rae, Mi etc are like and in the same key C, D, E etc. Just convert your fingering to go...

Hey Matt, welcome on board. :) Like you, I just got mine a week back. I really want to play the ocarina well and I've been working hard. But unlike you, I...
I'd be happy to help you learn to read sheet music with your ocarina, Martini. Just tell me what kind you have and I'll look into making you a fingering chart...
Thks, Matt. That is very sweet of you. I am using a 6-hole english system ocarina (4 holes on top, 2 below) which is quite different form yours. Not sure how...
I found a 6 hole fingering chart that tells me do, re, mi fingerings just now during my lunch break. I'll try to turn that into a chart just like I made...
I know not everyone has a lot of bandwidth to put things like song recordings online for others to listen to, so if anyone has any recordings or maybe even...
I saw as I was going through some archives today about some ocarina fonts that've been made. But there don't seem to be any 10 or 12 hole ones, are there? If...
Martini- Okay, I've got your 6 hole sheet music chart done. You can view/save it here: http://www.yourfavoritewebsite.com/images/6holechart.png I hope it works...
Matt and Martin, There might be a lot of different fingerings for "6 hole" ocarinas, but I've never seen the B played as shown in the link you provided. It is...
Thanks for that, Charlie. I wasn't sure about the chart I'd made- I just used a chart I found at www.i-love-cats.com/meow/ocarina and went by what was said...
guys, B or ti as i know it, is played with the right middle finger hole covered in my case. As tp the bottom holes, the right thumb hole is bigger but I...
Martin, If the left thumb hole is very small, then it is probably used to play the lowest two accidentals. If you close all the holes and then uncover only the...
Yes, Charlie, you're right. Mine is in fact a Langley Alto-D. charliehind <charliehind@...> wrote:Martin, If the left thumb hole is very small, then it...
I was just watching the Hope/Crosby film "Road to Singapore." One of the major musical numbers featured the sweet potato ocarina. As a matter of fact, the...
Indeed! I believe the name of the song is "When the Sweet Potato Piper Plays" or something like that. Spencer Spencer's Ocarinas ... From: "joel61436"...
Hi Martin, Good job my friend. I think you have an understanding of the basic techniques, such as tonguing, note value, etc. Now, I would suggest becoming...
Oh, come on, Theresa and Spencer, I knew I was already doing great............haha, just kidding. No, seriously, I felt I didn't have the benefit of a...
Just listened to it. I think ya did a pretty good job. Now you've gone and gotten -me- interested in recording myself playing tonight to upload. I'm no...
