Hi unclemartini, it has been a long time! Your playing has much improved. Your next step should be to learn vibrato. Look at about 3/4 the way down on this...
How are you, my friend? Haven't heard much from you lately. The mountain oc website is very informative. Will see what I can learn there. Thanks. Kenneth...
Uncle Martin, That was beautiful and wonderful to hear our instrument played this way.
Just wish I could play as well. Verne ... From: unclemartini Date:...

Hello. I stumbled onto your website last week doing a Google search on ocarinas. At the time, I thought I knew what I wanted to buy, but after reading pages...
Carol, Too bad you couldn't make one of your own if you'd like to begin with
the simple ocarina as they are so easy to make. In fact if you could find
some...
Hi Carol, and welcome to the club! The difference between a four hole pendant and a five hole pendant is one extra note. Your four hole will go through one...
Thanks so much, Rick! When I signed on again I was surprised to see that someone had responded so quickly to my post. Thanks also to Verne for your comments....
Hi again, Carol, How shrill an ocarina sounds will depend on whether it's a soprano, alto, tenor, bass, or contrabass. The clayz.com website has an online...
Hi Carol. The plastic Mountain Ocarina in G is a very good choice for a first ocarina. It was how I first started out. The most of advantages they mention on ...

If only you were near here I'd let you have the latest one I made to learn
on as even my wife will join in a humming when I play a bit on it. Made of
wood,...
Hi, I started on the ocarina after playing the recorder for many years. Wooden recorders need a certain amount of care. For example, they need to be oiled...
Gary, The main thing with wood is to keep it dry and clean as any other
ocarina. My location here is in the basement where I make them and they
hang on the...
After some deep thought I decided not to start with the plastic ocs and instead start right out with a ceramic one, even though it's more expensive. I think...
Carol wrote: Is there a way to play only one side or the other? Hi Carol, It depends on how the ocarina is made. Some ocarinas are made with a separate wind...
... I have both. The sound of the alto NCW double is fuller then the Hind double, Then again, you have to pay much more for that sound. The fingerings of the ...
... Thanks for the info. I hadn't seen anything about the necessity for oiling them but I just wanted to be sure. ... I've tended to stay away from clay...
Gary, for what you want why don't you make a simple little ocarina as shown
because they are so simple to make. I have a new technique I'm now using
that...
... Thanks, I appreciate the offer but I'm not good with tools. I also live in a condo and wouldn't have any room to make stuff even if I knew which end of the...
I guess, Gary, you're stuck with having to buy then. Try Charlie or Specer
or one of the others who make the 12 hole variety unless you want to start
off with...
Well, Mike, since you don't make them you'd not understand really but when
you do decide to do so drop me a line directly and I'll send you all the
details....
Hey Verne, I am a maker. I haven't made any wooden ones (yet, am thinking about it)but I have made 10-15 clay and Sculpty ones. I've also been on this list for...
Good show, Mike, but you forgot the Subject line which should show as it is
now. This is wonderful as outside of Charlie and a friend whose address I have
lost...
