This topic is for discussion of Hind's ocarinas. Link to his website: http://hindocarina.com/ He recently posted this video of his bass sweet potato. It sounds amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeJqAjkTFxI |

His duets are lovely. They remind me of a calliope! |

I like the Harmony ocarina from him... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE0Foe8OC7I I once heard that its impossible to make a wooden double or triple ocarina, but this is one, so does the thing i heard is right? |

But Hind's doubles are not meant to give extended range but instead play both chambers at the same time to give a nice effect. |

That could possibly be a Hind. I'm not sure as I could not see the ocarina that well. |

Nope no Sweet Potatoe...............yet XD They are alot more expensive than his wallnut pendants and inlines. I had already spent alot of money on the Spencer last month. And I really wanted a nice and light pendant to wear around my neck! Here is the fingering chart: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/Myu...na/IMG_1129.jpg |

I really like how personable Hind is. Photos of him working, he playing his instruments on youtube, and handwritten notes are almost too enchanting to resist! |

Yes I agree! I love that personal touch :wub: It really shows how passionate he is about the ocarina and the ocarinas he makes! His website is also very nicely designed. And the pictures of, for example, his musicbox and the ocarina celestina, briliant!!! :dance: I will no doubt be a return customer of mr. Hind and his lovely ocarinas^^ |

I believe she is playing a North Country Double: http://doubleocarina.com/ Like Hind, North Country seems to make their wooden double ocarinas to play in harmony, instead of simply extending the range of the ocarina. ------ ÆoliX |

When I bought my Alto Sweet Potato, I had been corresponding with Mr. Hind for a while. Yes, he is super nice and helpful. I even called and spoke with him on the phone! His ocarina is by far my favorite. It even smells wonderful! Also Myung...are you going to grace us with a review of the soprano D? |

Mr. Hind really is such a nice person, and I really love his ocarinas! And yes the ocarina does indeed have this wonderful woody smell to it. :wub: I plan to do a review of the Sop D yes indeed  I should have it up sometime next week, if all goes to plan

Gosh, I haven't played a pendant in a while, so forgive my ignorance... Are the fingerings the same then as a regular pendant? Nevermind....I figured it out. It is!

*chimes in on this thread* I've decided that I want to buy one of Mr. Hind's sweet potatoes for my first ocarina. :blink: I love his sweet potatoes. But hey, maybe I'll wake up in eight hours and decide that I was a raving lunatic when I posted that. |

I know that Nancy Rumbel (the ocarina performer there - she is famous in the ocarina world ) owns some of Hind's ocarinas, because he mentioned on his site before that he made some for her.But I think the particular one being used in that video might be one of these: http://www.doubleocarina.com/ I've seen her use it in this vid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=aCka_wGyzKA Spring Maiden: A famous korean folk song! |

Might I recommend his Alto Sweet Potato? It is in the key of C, and is in range of a regular Alto-C, minus the low A. It has such a smooth and soothing sound. I can't recommend it enough. It is sooooo light and smells wonderful! I think you all would be surprised at how soft you have to blow for the high and low notes. It's crazy! That's why it's my favorite. |

Hmm yes that was what I'd been thinking too. Howebbuh, listening to http://youtube.com/watch?v=RjSOE02CzZo (fantastic performance, link given to me by kissing) in which he switches between an alto and a soprano, I also really like the clear sweetness of the soprano. D'you think Mr. Hind would think I escaped from the asylum if I requested an ocarina not quite as high as a soprano and definitely not as low as an alto? I want one with a warm, mellow tone yet with some sweet clarity on top.
Thank you for your recommendation! |

I'm direct time emailing with Mr. Hind! :blink: :wub: He tells me that he has two alto sweet potatoes almost finished. I really don't know which to choose now. :unsure: His cocobolo mix? Or his almost finished rosewood ones? *sits and ponders* |
