line and tried same. Boy, now even the two highest notes sound with no...
Hello, Verne Thanks for the offer. I've made 10 hole ocarinas, but they ended up pretty breathy at the top end. I now realize my sound holes were too large and...

I've come across a supply of bamboo that I am thinking about making into ocarinas. I've made some of it into flutes, but some of it is too wide for good flutes...
Be sure to heat cure the bamboo so that it is less likely to crack. I found an easy way to shape the blowing end plug but it wastes about 1/16-1/8" . Use a...
Hi Bill, I think I know what you mean to a certain extent as we had a warm one

Bill I placed a PVC strip down the middle of a large bamboo tube to create a "twin bore". First for an double Ocarina with "Twin holes"(like a Recorder)down...
OOPS! Forgot about the Japanese flute technique of using heavy Tempura Paint on the inner bore to cover inner bamboo imperfections and reduce diameter. This...

Ocarinas. To...
