Im always surprised at how sharp these bushcract youtubers' axes are

Great video man. I plan on trying to make my own ocarina shortly.

Hi, i Try to make a ocarina but i don't understand how the windway is make, i try different method but no one works. You maybe can help me

[@sammysmokies]

The windway depth needs to be around 1/16th". The sound hole needs to be as wide as the windway and on the edge of the chamber, it's necessary to have a little windway between chamber and sound hole. To produce sound, the sound hole angle should be less than 45 degrees. Also, any of the smallest pieces of wood splinters in the entire windway (and chamber some) will greatly interfere with sound. Hope this helps, ask me something specific if you still have trouble. My Website should be up soon with plenty of Ocarinas and more for sale. - Thanks

@@sammysmokies Yes, thanks you, i will try, I send you back a message if i have a problems !

[@boyminecraft63]

@@sammysmokies I try, but that doesn't work again, i don't understand why whereas i did as you in your video

[@sammysmokies]

@@boyminecraft63 Let me know what specific problem you are confused with and I can help troubleshoot. Don't give up

[@boyminecraft63]

@@sammysmokies The problem is the windway, and i think more precisely the soundhole. Everytime when I breath in the ocarine, it's just a air noise

[@Melicoy]

thanks

[@geneduran4509]

Wow I love those furs, where do I get one?

[@sammysmokies]

I'm down to a few and have some ideas for crafts. Stay tuned though, maybe I'll have some for sale in the future. Lots of black bear roadkill in the smokies. That black bear hide I brain tanned turned out real nice. Cheers

Can I buy these anywhere to take outdoor camping?

[@sammysmokies]

Yeah they’re the best for taking outdoors because they’re small and easy to pack up

[@sammyboy1236]

Dude this was awesome! How long did it take you to make and do you have perfect pitch or did you tune it once you got home? One more thing do you make ocarina professionally or do you just make them as a hobby?

[@sammysmokies]

Thank you. Only takes one day to make one, whatever size or shape. I tune by ear, usually starting at the first note, or by....do, re, me, fa, sol, la, tee, do. There are helpful tuning apps out there. Each hole drilled should be one whole note higher. It is a hobby, but I would be happy to make one for you. I encourage you to try and I am here if you need help.

[@sammyboy1236]

Smoky Earth Skills ya I’m going to try to make a soprano one tomorrow. Have you tried to ever use clay to make one or do you prefer wood?

[@sammysmokies]

@@sammyboy1236 Great. I have never tried to make one out of clay. I like wood because it is more durable and some species can be really beautiful after sanding and oil. Just let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

[@sammyboy1236]

Smoky Earth Skills my only problem with wood ocarinas is that (from what I have heard) you can’t tune them as well because if you take off to much wood then you can’t fix it. But besides that wood is way better because of it’s clear tone. What are your thoughts on the wood vs clay?

[@sammysmokies]

@@sammyboy1236 The camber size does matter, so take note how big or small the two halves are before you put them together. Most of the time you should land right on a full note or half note. The key is make more than one. Wood all the way if you have the tools.

[@MidnightGeekSS]

Do you sell the ocarinas you make? I love the sound/tone on 27:00 and 27:20

[@sammysmokies]

Yes, contact the email in my channel about tab and shoot me an email and we can go from there. Thanks

[@agoogleuser3787]

Keep practicing the ocarina. You will sound good eventually.

[@JimmyMan2901]

Man, I wish I would have gotten to know you a lot better in Vermont. I love music! We need to jam next time!

Great times hanging out...hope you've been well!
