I'm still working on solving my problem with this Dual but there's been a
dirst of members around the last few days. Perhaps they'd like a game of
chess...
Well this evening I gave a 8 and 1 (eight finger holes, one thumb hole) a shot after a string of 4 and 1s (four finger holes and a thumb hole). So that's...
... My toddler Joni (pictured here tooting an ocarina) <http://ianjuliane.blogspot.com/2008/12/joni-toots-and-ocarina-has-fun-time-at.html> was hospitalized...
Hi Verne... busy working... as usual. I did do an ocarina workshop at the activities centre last week. It went very well. The people enjoyed making them and...
I'm sure he is looking after her, Ian, for young people like her are his
building blocks. So many others though are still missing and GRIN I'm wondering if...
Say, Arenda, that's a wonderful thing you are doing. Wonder if any other
members have thought of this. Gee, stupid me when I had a chap to do my
baking I...
Been busy busy busy around here. When I get a chance I'm mostly working on plain old silent sculptures I started as demo projects while teaching a class....
does it effect anything on an ocarina if you flip the cutting edge over with the bevel inside like it's done on a native american flute? thanks, panne...
Panne, you tell us for I've never done that though on checking one of my
Indian type flutes I made a while back the edge really is sort of done that
way. What...
No it does not matter but it does complicate the normal construction of the airway. A native American Flute has an external block that covers the airway or...
... I have done it 'backwards' for twenty years. Check the 'zelda' making video we have on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH0NcbbfU7c The cutting...
i haven't tried flipping it yet. for me it seems like it would be easier to adjust since i could pull the "block" off and on until i'm happy with the sound. i...
Well like everyone else said.. it is possible, a lot of makers do it this way because of its ability to make the lower notes shine out more, and make them...
Sorry about the reply to the wrong email .... and I cut off from what I was still going to say.... When doing so, flipping the bevel into the inside, the air...
I've noticed a lot while making clay ocarinas... That while I make it... the sound and resonation is a lot different when I make the ocarina thicker or...
I've had controversy with others whether or not an ocarina that had failed to work should be left as a decoration or a look at the past kind of thing.. or just...
By second choice I ment the one where I break it into tiny bits.. I just noticed I put 2 or's and not one.. lol ... This was sent from my phone... sorry if the...
i think you just clarified my problem with the higher notes going dead. the lower notes are clear and bright, but each gets a bit more airy going up the scale....
i would hang on to them, even if you feel you have mastered the lesson. it may come in handy to teach another the same lesson someday. i have thrown many a...
if you are referring to how it sounds before firing, the thin wall will absorb more acoustic energy gut to it being more flexible while wet. After firing I...
The shards make good lining for the bottom of potted plants. Helps the soil drain. Or, if the clay has a nice glaze, you might consider saving the shards and...
Jason, I hope I don't sound too annoying here, but you did, sort of, ask. I always had trouble with this, too. For practical purposes, one is always a noun....
It depends on the "type" of failure... ...If one or more toneholes are too large/small,or if the vessel is slightly too large/small or the windway is deformed,...
I agree with Mike here and defer to his experience with clay bodies. I would like to "chime in" with a note on "Peak Resonance" for an Ocarina vessel. (Peak...
"Should I post them again?" Yes, yes, yes. David ________________________________ From: Thomas Hastay <thomashastay@...> To: Ocarinaclub@yahoogroups.com ...
Jason, you should do as I used to do. If when you first make them and get
sound, if the sound does not suit you then smash them into smaller pieces
and put...
Hi Jason, Most of the time I keep the ones that don`t really work that well... you can still learn from them. Later... when you can make really good sounding...
