I have acquired an Emu egg and was wondering if there are many out there that make ockies out of eggs. I also have duck and goose. My question is, do you have...
Gee, if you can find the shell solid enough to place the proper Sound Hole
and AC you'd be away but 'egg shell' ??? Clay and glue etc? Think you
guys out...

Thanks the pictures and they sure answer what I suggested. You could do the same with clay as the wood I would think and then glue it to the place where you...
To remove the membrane from an egg, you need to use straight bleach. You also need to cover the egg with something like maybe hair spray that can be washed...
Hello White Bear, What a great idea... With the pictures and the help of all the others I`m sure you will do just fine. I wish you all the best and don`t ...
Lucille- Thanks for the tip. I will try it and let you know what happens. I have some aqua rock hairspray so I will try that. Many Blessings White bear ... ...
Sandi & Richard- Thank you for the pics, they are very reassuring. Matter of fact I do have a copy of that same book. I particularly like the stand that they...
I would certainly try to remove the membrane. If it is not loose when completely dry try soaking in water for a while. Hopefully, it will loosen up and can be...
White Bear, When you fill the egg, don't fill it to the top because it will bubble up and needs some space. But do fill it as much as possible. You could add...
White Bear: I'm not home now, but I have a book that deals with ocarinas made from eggs. I'll be in touch. Bob **************Get trade secrets for amazing...
I'm working on an experiment that allows one to adjust the air jet to the fipple edge and it also changes the area of the VH at the same time. This allows one...
I never crossed my mind about the effervescent action of the bleach, thanks and yes, I will do this outside. Thanks White bear ... Singing Mouse Shamanic ...
Thanks much Bob, I'm interested in seeing what you have. many Blessings White bear ... (http://food.aol.com/tyler-florence?video=4&?NCID=aolfod00030000000002) ...
Sorry for the late reply Bob (it's good to hear from you too ;) I use "vent holes" for some of my simple system Renaissance woodwinds to "tune" the bell note....
A friend who makes "Ukrainian Dyed Eggs" said she pours small grain sand in a dry egg and them shakes it to sand the inside. A small hole must be made to get...
I cant find the photo of the internal view on a Xun with a "baffle" near the voicing hole. This reduced "space" allows a large vessel to resonate faster...
Hello Thomas, You mentioned making small wooden ocarinas and it hit me because this is
what I'm working on all the time of late but not quite understanding...
Hello everyone! I have been making ocarinas on and off over the years; apparently, looking at the message logs of the group, I started about six years ago. At...
Hello Verne. Sorry for the "Techno-Babble". The fequency or Keynote of every Ocarina is dependant on internal size (cubic volume). This size can vary a little...
Hello Matt Your problem seem to be a vessel and tone holes that are too large. Try reducing them by 5 percent or so. You may also have holes that are too close...
Click on "Oldest" located page bottom right. You can then page forward from the first postings. Typing a low MSG# or a name (like mine) helps too. Page...
Not long after sending that message, I figured out how I could make an ocarina with its voicing bits relatively far away from all the toneholes. So far it...
Hello Matthew, Or maybe there isn`t enough depth beneath the voicinghole? That could also contribute to the problem... And all the things Thomas already...
Hi Arenda, Like you, Mathew works with clay so will solve this problem quite
quickly I'm sure. Think I've talked myself into another one too and have some of...
Matthew: It sounds to me that you made the voice hole too large. When the area of the VH (voice hole) gets too it robs the area the FH (finger holes) need...
