An ocarina is a closed-type whistle-blowing instrument related to the clay whistle, a kind of bowl-shaped flute. In this video you will be able to follow the process of making the instrument - shaping, tuning and decorating. Making and decorating the ocarina - Inga Maijere. Ocarina tuning, playing, video and music - Aleksandrs Maiers. Thanks to everyone who watches, share, comment and like our videos! We created those with the support of the Latvian Cultural Capital Fund, with the aim of popularizing the making of musical instruments in Latvia. That's why all movies have Latvian subtitles. We are currently working on new videos🎥 and it doesn't look like we will have time to translate the old ones. And I wouldn't want to do it in ''aliexpress style'', our English is not that good, it's quite confusing.'-) However, I will add answers to frequently asked questions, maybe this can help: 1. You can slightly increase the basic tone of the ocarina by increasing the hole of the whistle 2. The holes are adjusted one by one, in turn. The bigger the hole, the higher the tone 3. The ocarina can be tuned from any other note as long as it's body is smaller or larger than the one we made. 4. When ocarina becomes dry, it shrinks, and tuning goes up (aprox 1 semitone for this size, G# maj becomes A maj) 5. You cannot simply copy the dimensions of the holes, their size depends on the volume of the ocarina and also the thickness of the walls. Good luck!♥AM

Thanks a lot for a very well done video ...I wish you had subtitles in english ...even though I understood how you were proceeding for the tuning of the ocarina. Are the diameters of the four holes always the same or do I have to change the values if (Like I tried today with a slightly bigger Ocarina with a ground tune in E ) the size of the Ocarina is varying? YOU made a very nice one, SO thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. Michel

@@aleksandrsmaijers Thanks a lot for your answer Aleksandrs, I really appreciate it. I used to make (For a very long time ago what they call in swedish "Lergök" ...A cuckoo clay, by then I just put four holes in them, they were pendant ocarinas just nice to look at but not much of an instrument 😎😎They were done with stoneware clay and I used Ash glazes on them. Now on my old days, I wanted to pick up what i ENJOYED to do for many years ago and d discovered the four holes tuning ...I m really glad that I saw your video, it s gonna be fun to make real sounding "Lergökar" now. I ll tell you about my progress. Thanks a lot again for all this precious information CHEERS 😎😎Michel
