Let's learn to make ocarinas Video #1

[@fishlaugh]

A terrific explanation of how ocarinas make sound. Thank you Chris, I particularly like the model of the voicing!

[@YowLife]

I love that this man pronounces Oh-carina correctly.

[@Skatche]

Give your ocarina a voicing. Pitches love voicings.

[@lmanity]

I recently started to play the Ocarina and since I've got physics in school, where we learned how strings vibrate to make a sound or long tubes like recorders basically do the same thing, I wondered how an Ocarina is able to make a sound and really was completely confused the last few days. Finally you answered my question and my brain can function normally again from now on. xD

[@ocarinaone]

Thanks for watching the videos if you end up having an idea for something you would like to see let me know because I'll be making more.

[@neuroblossom]

absolutely awesome demonstration... that giant labium thing and the airflow indicator.... incredible, i bow to you buddy.

[@Nana-qd6iu]

Thank you. I just made my first ocarina thanks to your incredible videos. Cheers!

[@rustywrench500]

Most detailed explanation I've seen yet thanks for making this video.

[@freestylefingerbord]

I listened more intently to this guy now more than any of my school teachers ever

[@wooden_lord]

This is great. Now it will be much easier to observe the subtleties of manufacturing.

[@laurentm5992]

All those videos are fantastic! Thank you Mr Heuer - Greetings from Rome

[@andrewl9191]

Thank you! I'm a flute player and also a tin whistle player. I picked up an ocarina on an impulse at GenCon this year (2023) and I've always been curious how the pitches are achieved. Hopefully this will partially solve that mystery!

[@daveypryme]

I love your videos! my brother and I have been talking about making our own ocarinas, and thanks to your tutorials we are finally going to start!

[@dalienrivera6093]

Thanks to this information and others videos y learn how to make and i got artisan license. I connected with my side musician making ocarina wing instrument. The only instrument that i know to play better thank you again and all the few videos that is out there. Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@imen7610]

Very helpful! Please continue the series !

[@stetbro]

Thanks so much Chris! I learned a lot about how these instruments work!

[@illmtoloko]

This video made my day! Thank you! from Brazil

[@afi6061]

What a great series. Thanks very much!👍👌

[@nobleorion]

We need more outros like this

[@nikolaishriver7922]

Interesting info, several months ago I made one of these without knowing much about what or why or how they make sound, I wanted a really deep sound and made one of cedar with probably a pint and a half size chamber, I don't know what went wrong or if something wasnt lined up right, or maybe the chamber was too big.. I don't know, I followed directions on Instructable, and I even used my endmill to make an ultra precise mouth section, but I got really discouraged after a LOT of wood work and no sound. After watching this I may try it again slightly smaller and just deal with having a higher pitched sound. But i would LOVE to have a really low note Ocarina, I think it would just sound enchanting. This has given me a bit of motivation to try again seeing how it should function

[@crystallefebvr4579]

Nikolai Shriver did you end up making one? :)

[@FortWhenTeaThyme]

Thank you so much Chris! Very informative.

[@tiaxanderson9725]

I had just 3D printed an ocarina that didn't work. This was exactly what I needed to spot an internal support that I had missed and now it's perfectly-OK-ish (It's just PLA using FDM, so OK-ish is about what I expected; I'm happy :D)

[@mamaslostsoul]

Wow. great to hear and I had always wanted to try one. If you can share any links for models/input STL files, will be greatful. Also, have you posted anywhere on the 3D print outcom. will be happy to watch and learn.

[@tiaxanderson9725]

@@mamaslostsoul Hey, I got mine from Thingiverse; www.thingiverse.com/thing:2755765 In your slicing software, make sure it's oriented as in the second picture (with the thin end pointing up) and that you have only external supports on unless you want to, like me, pick internal supports out with pliers etc and the possibility that something stays behind and messes it up further.

[@robertoc.9099]

Excelente tutorial thankyou Chris.

[@ocarinaone]

Thanks much feel free to email if you have any questions Chris

[@Pastuhelsing]

Thank you very match for this lessons!

[@bearshield7138]

Thank you this is very helpful

[@RobloxUSfaction]

I couldn’t make the mouth piece, but I did make a new instrument. I put a bassoon double reed at what would be the mouth piece. It sounds like a kazoo, but with a lot more versatility.

[@agoogleuser3787]

Hurry back chris! If you can! Hope you are well.

[@TomTom-yz1zo]

Alright, I know this might seem like a silly question but, what clay do you use specifically? I tried looking around and I couldn't figure out what clay I should use.

[@HalfGiant_S80]

Red clay works, don't use sculpy, it gets super flimsy if you work it to much

[@musicaremcasa7628]

Hi Chris I am from Brazil and I study Music in college at UNICAMP. I play the ocarina i am doing research about how to use the ocarina in school with kids making there own ocarinas. Can we have a chat?

[@rafael7867]

E ae man, conseguiu alguma informação de como fazer?

[@humanitarianbombings]

Amazing stuff +sub

[@olswirly]

Thanks for being on your game felt like I was actually lurning stuff needed the break down on the voicing mechanical so thanks for being you and makeing a great vid Manny blessings too ya sir yars

[@ferncotta]

[@-fidget-1548]

Really weird question can I make it in a donut like shape

[@BrianWader]

Oak-arina lol

[@alchristensen8121]

Labium is Latin for lip, so "labium lip" is redundant.
