My necklace ocarinas have six finger holes, four on top for the index and middle finger of each hand, and two thumb holes on the bottom. One end has a cord hole. Put the included cord around your neck; use your ring and little fingers around the cord hole for balance. Blow though the tiny slot order at the other end; this directs air across the squarish aperture hole on top to produce a sound; do not cover this aperture hole.
These ocarinas are made and tuned by hand and ear, and then checked with a tuner. They vary in size, appearance, timbre, and voicing. With slight air pressure adjustments, they can be played in tune with themselves. Using the 6 finger holes on this ocarina, a Western chromatic ninth can be played.
If the fundamental with all finger holes closed is also tuned to a specific pitch, the price will increase. Please check with me for further information.
As always, the final tuning when played comes from listening and adjusting the air pressure.
Because each ocarina is made by hand & heart, sizes & colors will vary. The larger an ocarina is, the deeper its sound.
Folk melodies sound beautiful on these ocarinas, and every ocarina comes with an instruction sheet and cord.
Play your ocarina everywhere: while hiking, with birds, or while waiting in line; everywhere you go, make up new melodies & play them proudly.
Have fun!
