Ha! Ya know, I never thought that a cube was not a possibility. I've only made one and it worked. Maybe it was because i put the fipple near the corner....
... Not knowing something is "impossible" always helps in accomplishing it. So maybe you should just ignore all of us here when it comes to our expertise on...
... Thanks Scott, Those were the posts (among others) that led to my question. I have since made a test model, which seems to work well. I don't have to...
I agree completely with Bob. I don't believe an "accurate" mathematical program can be made for ocarina calculation. There are many "ball-park" methods to come...
The Ocarina shares acoustics with other "closed" resonators. It uses "ODD" harmonics based on a 12th. Because of this, a ratio of 1:2 in the cubic volume...
Nice Photo! The seperation/restriction creates an invisible "diaphram" between the 2 chambers. This diaphram consists of pressurized air and alternately moves...
... Hello Thomas, thanks for your input! Of course "accurate" is not really what I am looking for, I will be (am) satisfied with "by guess and by golly"....
... Yow! I almost understood you! Scary! I must be learning... ... the ... I'm having fun! But what a mess I've been making - clay everywhere! I have a new 1:2...
Two disappointing tests later... Both vessels seemed to play well at first, but with any over-blowing or as soon as I opened up a finger hole, the bottom...
Programma Mostre, concerti, ocarina buskers festival, mercatino dell’ocarina e del fischietto artistico, stage di ocarina Venerdì 4 Maggio h. 18-19,30 :...
If anyone is interested, the final tests were not any more encouraging. I think I see what's happening, and I could probably play with it until I get it...
I'm getting an itch to do another ocarina exchange, anyone else up to it? I was thinking that July 1st would be sufficient time to get an ocarina made and...
... I was just getting ready to ask someone to accept one of mine as a gift in return for their opinion of it. An exchange would be great! I would love to see...
Thomas, Being a programmer by profession, I could take that as a challenge! But, having read everything on Ocarinas I could get my hands on over the last four...
This is to everyone, not just Bill, I am always open to private exchanges or even bartering. I have exchanged ocarinas as well as a Native American style...
... My little calculator seems to work, within my ability to measure. I've yet to make it round down to the next smaller drill bit but that's just a dressing. ...
... Hello! I am new to this group and ocarinas too. I would like to try to participate in this. I've never made one before but have been wanting to try. Thank...
I might get thrown out for this but Thomas that statement is ridiculous! Why any lamebrain like me can make one come out perfect every time and get
the exact...
... ridiculous! ... and get ... I think he means make a program to do it, not make an ocarina... I have to agree that making a program that would predict...
Hey Verne, the idea is that you want to use formulas to calculate the size of each fingerhole based on the measured sizes of everything else and have it come...
We'd be happy for you to join in. You have some time to practice and make some before the deadline. There is lots of information in the files and even more in...
... close to a ... couple notes ... Right. My original idea was simply to find the volume.. I make the bodies first, then drill a 1/4 inch hole and blow on it...
So true, Mike, and a simple 4-6 hole Ocarina is the best way to get the feel
of things as they can be made of simple waste so easily that the cost is
naught...
Well, Verne, that is exactly what we were saying but it is more complicated than that. any change to a measurement affects the outcome. If you make your sound...
Maybe it is time to post Alan's 'treatise' again: If the formatting messes up the number tables, or if you want to see the letter with little drawings, visit: ...
Good, Mike, and you may have read Thomas wrong there but we should ask him. SH square or round shouldn't matter but the total area will. Like the Shelf
idea...
