+ | 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. Eventually will include the top 100 tips from professional Ocarina players. I also have a page about the Recorder. \\ | ||

+ | .\\ | ||
+ | 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.\\ | ||

+ | Royce Barber's Ocarina Experience\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * I'm a beginner, using a cheap ceramic "Zelda" ocarina, bought from ebay for ten bucks. I practice 30 min per week, because it's therapeutic and feels organic.\\ | ||
