Yes Pan...The Idea is to reduce the amount of airmass just under the voicing window. If there is less air to move, less energy is needed to move it. The...
ID= 11/16", OD= 7/8", bore length= 3 1/2" the last finger hole was the killer on this one. with it's larger diameter, even closed it leaves a hole almost right...
I have made bamboo ocs with larger ID, up to about 1" without narrowing the space under the TSH without any problem. I guess the bamboo was a little longer...
one thing i was wondering about is the flue exit. looking at different designs i see a lot of inconsistency. some have the top edge hanging over, some have the...
With that diameter your only problem is to try to keep the FH's far enough
away from the SH as you are finding. I got my first sound last night on my
Treble...
Just like on the NAF, The optimal position for the top and bottom of the airway exit is exactly on top of each other and even. Any other configuration is...
Should we that still are reading the group mail be playing the DEATH MARCH
or the likes on the new Ocarina that we are working on or what's happening? Here I...
Okay Verne, I am awake and have been watching the list... what there is of it. I will bite on your fishing... I own a Hind Tenor but don't play... I am more of...
Richard, here's number two for you and all others perhaps who are reading
this. The last picture is very poorly done but the ideas are there. Blue of
course...
Well Richard, You've got it made in the first place for wood being you are in that business or at least to a degree and you seem to have the wood so next I ...
Good Show, David, Such a dearth of members around though it frightens me. Not only on the
group but otherwise also. Tell me if you need any more beginner...
Hi Verne and everyone else.... I am reading along too, but you know I`m a clay-girl... I have some fun news too... My boss invited me to another activities...
Wonderful news Arenda, and hope your little project gives you much
satisfaction. From past experience, helping others is the best pleasure one
can find in...
Hi Verne, I am not making my first one quite yet. I have a backlog of Native American Flutes to finish up first, although if I need a break, I might start in...
Ah Verne, Good to hear you`re working on a new one. Yes... you should try to get the air-leak fixed first. Ofcourse in my other e-mail I wanted to say about...
Tomorrow that is.. I guess my typing skills are deteriorating To: ocarinaclub@yahoogroups.com From: arendafranken@... Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 23:15:28...
Dear Ocarina friends, This has nothing to do with ocarinas (other than the fact that I and many other Malaysians like ocarinas...) but I'm so upset, I just...
Well if you are making flutes then you are really making Ocarina's too for
they are the same principle only different, no??? I've two sitting here
that Chris...
Ah yes, the air leak! But I know it's there but still have other things to
do before I worry about such as with a squeeze of my fingers I can still
stop that...
I think I'd want to try to make one like this: http://stlocarina.com/enlarge.html?http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-46117395216933_2038_781247 I...
Grin, Ubizmo, that's just a simple sweet potato with a different shape. I
play one every day that's really is just like that only made from wood and I
have...
OK, Verne. I haven't made one recently but here is the damp clay oc that my 13 year old finished tonight for a school art project. No one else in the history...
Hi ubizmo, I tried the other concert-style that was on STL. It was pretty difficult, but the soundhole was on the bottom there. The problem is that you have a...

Verne, thanks for the response. I will try to work on something this weekend. I know I have some 2by's laying around. I'll keep you posted. Richard ... From:...
Mike, I hope you praise him well for this effort. I don't know what his
fingering is but love the fact that he leaves his mark on each one as this
is...
When you come to tune it is when the easy part for an Ocarina comes in. If
you've been to my home pages I think I showed that but on just checking they
are...
He was quite proud of his accomplishment. This was his last project for that class and he had to bring it home to finish it due to running out of class time....
Mike, just now looking at the pictures again and if the clay isn't baked then he could easily make it into a Sweet Potato without much problem. He has holes...
