Hi everyone, I just joined the group and wanted to introduce myself. Although I've owned an ocarina for a few years now, I've only recently taken a strong...

like to...
How are you making out????? My latest now has sound on both sides, how's yours doing? Surely there are others out there making Ocarinas these days too instead ...
I got this message, too. It's best not to reply to a message like that, and especially *not to click any links contained in it.* I was already getting tons of...
Hi Cindy, There is this book from Barry Hall called "From Mud to Music" It`s not cheap, but it`s a treasure to have for people like us who want to make their...

In response to your question about tubular ocarinas: If your ocarina shape is long and slender rather than more globular, put the sound hole closer to the...
Thanks for all the good advice, guys! I have <i>Mud to Music</i> and do enjoy it, but there aren't any specifics in there for a fipple flute. I didn't think a...
If I remember correctly, somewhere around 7 or 10 times the diameter and an ocarina starts to behave differently, more like a flute. Mike Jones _____ From:...
Cindy - you didn't look hard enough! In From Mud to Music - pages 55 through 60 explain the principles of fipples, with diagrams. And starting on page 222...
