Product Information

This trend has also lead to some manufacturers selling ocarinas which are inspired by other media franchises with varying, often poor, playability.

They can also attain quite a range of timbres from 'pure' to 'reedy'. All of these things are set when the instrument is made, and as of writing very few makers are exploring this possibility space.Harmony ocarinas are multichambers that are tuned to play in harmony with themselves. They differ from multichamber transverse ocarinas, as those are instead designed to extend range. Physical constraints mean that the designs, as well as playing styles of the two differ considerably. Ones designed primarily for visuals can suffer in playability. An easy example is zoomorphic designs, ones designed to look like animals or birds. Animals did not evolve to be playable musical instruments. The 11 hole ocarina is a compromise between the 10 hole, and 12 hole designs. They have one subhole which can be placed on either the left or right hand. The following image shows it on the right. The traditional German gemshorn works nearly the same way as an ocarina. The only difference is the material it is made from: the horn of a chamois, goat, or other suitable animal. [18] Sindhi borrindos, a form of vessel flute produced in different sizes to give different tones. The borrindo is made out of soft alluvial clay, plentiful in the central Indus Valley. Exactly what these instruments were used for is the subject of debate. It is hard to understand their musical use, as they differ so much from other musical cultures. They appear to have been informed by the natural world, imitating sounds like birds, insects, thunder, wind sounds and rustling leaves.

This construction usually either expands the range of the instrument or allows multiple notes to be played at once. Although multi-chamber ocarinas can be made in transverse, inline, or pendant style, the transverse style is the most common. A typical transverse double ocarina plays two octaves plus a minor third, and a transverse triple ocarina usually plays with a range of about two octaves plus a minor seventh. Unlike single chambered ocarinas, multichambers are classified by the number of chambers, and not hole count. This is done as the fingering system is not fully standardised and varies to some extent between makers. Ocarinas function by creating a preassure differential between the environment and an enclosed chamber, opening holes raises the pitch as it allows the air to move more easily, but this also allows air to escape. You can only have so many holes before the instrument stops sounding.
