Ciao everybody. I have an ocarina, original by Giuseppe Donati for to sell. Is a instrument under good conditions to play, but is excellent for a museum! Who...
They can be changed but you'll need diamond cutters to do the trick. Also
if the holes are too small this is a cinch. BUT if the holes are like a
couple I...
I'm working on learning the Xun but it is reallllly difficult - although I don't grade it any more difficult than the fife. I agree also that the fipple added...
Last Romantic? I challange! swords or pistolas?(hehe) Ocarina tuning in one word "GOOP!" If an ocarina has a flat keynote (all holes covered) it can be tuned ...

I should have said... Use the "find message box" and type in 12313 and "GO" Click on the "Xun Tech Diagram" post and the Link at the bottom. This is less...
I've just noticed a dearth of mail for our group the last couple of days and
was wondering if anything is wrong. Strange things have been happening to
my...
So I was playing my Oc tonight and discovered a fun little thing: I can tap on the note holes and it makes a small drum-like pitch. Those of you that have a 4...
... days and ... Nope; at least, not corporately with the group. I think everyone has just been quiet this week. I'm still recovering from Wednesday night,...
... Sorry to hear of your loss. We have buried a number of loved pets in our back yard here over the decades and have an adobe soil, so I also know what you...
Dave, that sounds like you're enjoying it and is the way we all should be doing. The little 'ocarina with so few holes' can really surprise one with all the...
I took a year of college physics (more years ago than I want to admit), and my professor was an old and very kind German immigrant, who was also a violinist....
How do whistles generate a tone? Following the German Meyer's Encyclopedia of Conversation (Meyer's Konversationslexikon) from 1905: When regarding the so...
... Having made tinwhistles, I appreciate this excellent explanation. Tinwhistles and ocarinas have the "whistle part" in common, the airway, fipple, etc....
It takes a time period to compress the air in the volume of the ocarina and then a similar time period to "release" the pressure as was described about ...
Jay, Don't take things so seriously as the art of making and playing are much alike. I'm not a teacher though or such but love making and playing them and...
Jay, you are describing a vibrating column of air, which is the physics of how a tubular flute works, but an ocarina is an entirely different system - a...
Verne: I tried the baffle but I placed it between the FH of the right hand and of the left hand. I found no difference. It was just a thin wall of clay...
... I know, Verne. I was just puzzled at my Mountain Ocarina...it made no sense as to how it worked, compared to a tinwhistle, with its more-or-less linear...
Grin, That's about what I thought but there must be a proper way to do it and I gave a little dig at Thomas the other day that I'm still waiting. It's alright...
are these great ocs becuase I was thinking about getting one and if I'm going to pay the money to get one I want a good one. Becuase when they sent me a sound...
These are great ocs. They are really loud so theyre good for concerts, but bad for playing inside house. They dont show you this, but there music books use a...
Hi I'm back for a while. Nice to see all the posts in the recent past about the Xun. I searched thru the archive and read a big bunch of them. I've started...
Ciao. I have another ocarina by Giuseppe Donati for to sell ( G soprano ). This ocarina is in fantastic conditions for to play (excellent for a museum ). The...
Today I received in the mail a new MO in G which Karl of Mountains Ocarinas sent me to try out for my feedback. It is made of ivory white Corian - the material...

I know it may sound good but are we now an advertising group???? I've always thought the group was a lot of people like myself who loved to make the...
VERNE, I really do not understand why this upsets you so much...no one here ever really SPAMS the group, no BUY MINE, BUY MINE!!! It is abundantly clear that...
... Not all of us have the time, ability or inclination to build our own instruments. We'd rather play them. This does not make us second class. While the...
