There is a compromise to use 4 holes (or 4+2) in that you are using various combinations of holes to get close to the note you want. The 2 on the right side...
I agree but with a 12 FH type you can really play all. I make all type and
just having fun with the five minute Ocarina I made just to test myself. Verne...
Charlie's got a good page there but for the real amateur they just could get

Sandi and Richard, I haven't been here for quite a while, but learning about Ralph Peer sure made my return worthwhile. Thank you for this great information. ...
