Hi Theresa Charlie is correct on this one. There is a greater internal pressure in the high notes and playing hole size requirements are different. I suggest a...
I was wondering if anyone here is interested in a discussion on adding simple Keyworks to your Ocarina or if, as a player, you would like the added feature? ...
Re. chromatic 6th hole: Thanks everyone who answered my chromatic 6th hole question. Every answer had some ideas and insights in it that were valuable to me. I...
I associate key works on instruments where hole location is a real issue where said locations cause too great a finger stretch. Ocarinas are so good in that...

I myself have an english style ocarina (clay) with 6 holes. The two on the bottom are the same size which allows for that very needed extra note. I have...
Most ocarinas I see are blue. Is this because its a prominent favorite color or for another reason? Was the origional zelda one blue and any speciffic reason ...
Keavie, you should be able to get two extra notes with those on the bottom and they should sound the part of high D and high E if all is tuned properly. Verne...
Thanks, that's helpful info! Re. blue, it will sell to more people than say, pink or yellow. :^) Also it's an easy color to get in ceramics. Theresa...
Ah yes, D and E come out beautifully. Most of the ocarinas that have only 5 holes, it is often said of them that they limit only one note, but Ibe found thats...
Well, I do know blue is MY favorite color, but yeah it could be because of Zelda. I am sure the game shot ocarina sales way up. The Nintendo 64 Game "The...

WOW! Bravo, I have to say you are doing more things with your life than people I know who can see. I has suspected you might be blind...but with all you do I...
I agree with the simplicity of Ocarina keyless patterns but I hear a lot of complaints from players about inaccurate half notes. Most Ocarinas play major...
Hi Theresa (and others with websites), I can't say what happened to your email request, but I didn't get it. The best way to request a link exchange is to go...
