Hey Verne, I noticed that you had mentioned kind of as an aside in one post, that you are working on a way to change keys slightly. In my endevour to learn how...
Idon't see any tuning plans? hole sizes and so forth here, but, I have been known to have selective blindness. I was wondering, see, I currently have...
Hi Mike, and finally someone who talks about building or making the ocarina. Your ideas are sound but an easier way to control the key is to either make
a mold...
Nope they told you a lie as it will only play to High Mi if you are lucky. High doh with all 4 on top uncovered and then. . . . . .! ... From: Michael Date:...
Mike: The physical limits of the globular flute (ocarina) as defined by the laws of physics determine the ocarina range. This is the ratio of the CC of the ...
hmmm that's an idea, an actual rod that goes into the Ocarina chamber itself? this fills it up and makes it so that there is less volume within the chamber,...
Hi Bob, That was a better answer than mine and the line about trying it oneself
is a good one. This group used to be mainly people interested in making
their...
Bob: Actually, the reason I joined this particular group is that I was assuming that most folks here would have knowledge of making Ocarinas, and I had bought...
Well, Michael, We have a live one at last!!! Yes, get a making and you'll learn very quickly BUT don't expect the top
quality at the very first as it takes a...
Verne, good stuff, I am looking at the site now. "Magic water",... is that just plain water or is that brand name of a bonding agent? To tell the truth, I will...
Hi Mike: If you are just starting to make an ocarina for the first time: I have some tips to offer. Decide which media you are most comfortable working with: ...

Michael, You asked about cedar and I forgot to reply. I use Cedar Closet Lining
as it's the right thickness and hard enough to really hold it's edge. I had...
Hey Bob, wow, most insiteful bit of information here. I know that I feel most comfortable working with wood, my trusty dremel at my side at all times, LOL. I...
Verne and Bob, both of you have been VERY helpful, I shall get started on this in the morning and take notes of my experiences. Thank you both so much. I have...

Bob, First off, Bob, have you every made an ocarina? If not you don't need
to know all the calliwack at all but simply make a unit with a hollow, a
fipple...
According to Prof.Ray Dessy of Virginia Tech Institute and Dr. John Coltman the measurements are for cubic area not width and length. This means that for each...
In theory, how many holes can one make in an ocarina bofore running out of sound? In practice, the maximum that has been achieved is 13 (souund) holes. Colin ...

Rick, if you've ever made a pendant ocarina of the size you speak of and
also a 12 FH Sweet Potato you'll realize that all this stuff is hogwash as
the main...
Verne, I think Rick is correct about the volume of the finger holes is an important factor for sound generation and tuning. I agree that the size of the hole...
Michael, This makes sense but for the likes of me just how to control
same. Your method might work to a bit but when you make the first hole you
have...
