That's good, Fabio, I don't get a copy of it all though and I used to get the same thing as
you read. It's on the site alright but that's it. Too hot for...
Every instrument has its signature wether it be a squeek a twang or even a brass sound. So the Oc? The first I heard it was in the movie A Few Dollars More and...
J.K....This may be a shock to the others here, but... you are correct. Bagpipes, or more precisely, "The Clarinet" and the Ocarina share acoustic harmonics....
G'day all, Just thought I'd let you know how I got on with the 'surgery' on my e- bay WB Ocarina... With a little bit of leverage from a screwdriver the Oc...
... Not shocked but a little amused. While I understand that a stopped pipe and a vessel share a mathematical relationship because their nodes must always...
Charlie, Too bad you didn't stick it together with masking tape or such so that you could remove same again but as you didn't you're 'stuck with it' for now ...
Thanks a lot for your reply Verne, I did stick it all together using Masking tape...and it sounded breathy then.What I thought was ,that the instrument was a...
Sounds good, Charlie, but you didn't say how wide the Sound Hole was. If up
to half inch that should be fine as I checked a few of my older clay models
and...
G'day Verne, The sound hole (where the lips go !!) is 11mm wide and 2.5 mm high and where the air exits and blows across the fipple it is 9mm wide and about...
How about simple dishwasher detergent that you use to do your dishes each
day. That should do the trick if anything would from 'baked clay' I would
think as...
Bill Many students of Ocarina history know that ancient clay ocarinas of the South Americans used multi-chambered vessels that "beat" in slightly altered...
Ah, I didn't know you were talking about the ancient clay multi-chambered ocarinas of the South Americans. So I stand corrected, my joke's punch line should...
When I play, I've been able to get harmonics in my Oc's by not tonguing the notes - I just keep a solid stream of air going and use my fingertips at different...
I'm not sure that everyone is talking "harmonics" in the same sense. jK, I think you are talking about a method to "slide" or slur from one note to another....
... That's the impression I got. I have only one fippled ocarina, and it seems very monotonic. My frequency analyzer finds some slight harmonics, but I can't...
Yep. I also have noticed that my round sound hole ocs tend to have stronger harmonics than the ones I have made with rectangular sound holes. Your xun have...
... I sort of thought that, as one of a few theories. I visualized it as the shorter lengths of my airstream on both sides of the main stream might be sending...
MJ, The harmonics that I am able to produce can imitate police and/or ambulance sirens as well as the bagpipes that have a steady stream of air with no ability...
You are welcome to define the word "harmonics" any way you want, but the word "idiocy", no matter how defined, is fairly impolite. I recommend a cursory study...
Only if the inside is glazed and you shut off the "heat dry" cycle. If it isn't really dirty and you just want to sanitize, let it soak in a solution of 25%...
There has to be a better way. Even if it makes it through, the parts I would want cleaned would be the insides, and dishwashers mostly clean by spraying, which...
If it's properly baked clay it's become like a coffee cup, hasn't it and
should be quite safely washed that way. Mind you I wouldn't leave it
soaking over...
If it is not glazed on the inside, it could easily absorb soap or chemicals in the washer. High fired clays are largely non-porous even without glaze, but I...
That's why I said what I did but meant to do it by hand as in the sink you
can shake it around under the warm water to get the cleaning action and then
shake...
I use a 1.5% hydrogen peroxide (mouthwash strength) solution to kill the germs. just pour it in, cover the holes and shake it. In USA the most common solution...
News flash from The Oklahoma Flute Festival 2007 First off I would like to say hello and to invite everyone to make this musical journey. The gathering is...
I forgot that the Hydrogen Peroxide bottles in USA don't have the dilution directions on the label. To make 3% Hydrogen Peroxide into 1.5%, just mix the...
