It has been a while since last time I came here and wow!! How many messages. Have you found songs for "Sweet Potato Ocarinas"?? I continue with my play "by...
ANYBODY HAS CHARTS FOR SWEET POTATOE??? ... -- ~Sandoh: sandoh@... What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me...
I canīt find it :( Can you send it to me? ... -- ~Sandoh: sandoh@... What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me...
John You are correct about a "reason" for a large voicing window on historical Gemshorns. Because the voicing is located at the "large end" of the instrument,...
I agree with you Charlie, on all points. A simplified example is a (relatively) large window with a shallow angle ramp, like a tabor pipe, will favour high...
Here is an animation that can apply to ocarina-making. (halfway down the page) The width and shape of the purple "pipe" can be altered by dragging the small...
just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for some songbooks or free online sheetmusic for 4-5hole ocarina in the celtic or irish...
... some ... Hmmm... I'll have to dig through my songbooks and see what I have in the way of Celtic. I have plenty of sheet music in that genre, primarily...
There's tons of stuff written for the tinwhistle. You'll need to match keys or transpose, but you can find nearly anything you want in Irish music. Some of the...

I just now got home from picking up my ocarina from a local music shop. Waited 2 weeks to get the thing and it came with the wrong fingering chart!!! I bought...
... Ocarinas have "wiggle room' in that you can make minor changes in pitch by altering breath pressure. On a good ocarina, all the notes can be played with...
Thaks, Theresa; I've been playing around with that. this must not be a "good one" as it requires a significant increase in pressure agter "La" to get anything...
I am curious to know that if you were to stand under a bright light and hold the mouthpiece up to your eye, would you see the edge of the bevel? If it did...
The edge of the bevel is much higher than I'd want it to be; approximately 60-70% up in the windway with the instrument (toy??? :-) turned over. I'm taking...
Hi all, just joined. I'm in my 50s, collect and play ocarinas for fun. I work in the Birmingham Conservatoire, but not as a musician, just the computer fixer....

Welcome Rob! "Collecting indiscriminately" seems to affect many of us. We'll often buy an ocarina just because we like how it looks, even if we know it won't...

I would think it wouldnt matter... The fingerings should be the same. such as a b flat clarinet, an e flat, a bass , and a contrabss clarinet all have the ...
So, Keaavie, let me see if I've got this straight... On your instruments, you use the same fingering on either a C or an F instrument to make, say, a Gflat??? ...
Basically yes.. You change the key the music is in to fit the ocarina. You dont learn the fingering to always match the key. For instance, if you have your F ...
At the risk of getting this entirely wrong... but if the instrument was described as fully Chromatic is it? This is what I was directed to ensure for this...
