| + | This article will be a list of tips and links about the musical instrument called an ocarina.\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | . \\ | ||
| + | Introduction\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * I'm not a musician, I'm not a pro, these are just my student notes. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | What's an Ocarina?\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Musical wind instrument, much like a flute. Very long history. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * It's similar to a flute. This image is one of the nicest I've seen. High pitch ocarinas are small, some small as a whistle. Low bass ocarinas are larger, some large as a football. But most ocarinas are potato size, or baseball size. \\ | ||

| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | Common Shapes\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Sweet Potato \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Pennant \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * DragonTooth \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | Number of Holes\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * More holes, are harder to play, but are worth learning if you have the patience. Obviously more holes means a higher diversity of notes, pitch, effects. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | Wood vs Ceramic vs Metal vs Plastic\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Many children ocarina toys are junk and sound bad. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Don't store a wooden ocarina next to a heater or quickly changing temperatures. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Ceramic and metal weighs more than wood. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | Ocarina Sheet Music\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Depends on number of holes. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Official music notes aren't always required, if you prefer to learn by ear. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | Misc Tips\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Many wooden ocarina carvers say a humidifier is not necessary for long-term storage, but doesn't harm anything. There isn't much wood to expand and crack. During use, your breath is very moist. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * A small ocarina, such as golf ball size, will be very high pitch like a whistle. A big ocarina is lower pitch. A basketball size would be extremely low pitch. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | What are the Zelda ocarinas all over eBay?\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * Zelda is a video game, popular with teenagers. Many Zelda ocarinas are average to sub-par, but are okay for practicing. \\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
