But from what I've heard, it's fun to just jam on it! =D

I read that it has less range than normal 4-hole pendants.

It's nice to look at, but not really much fun to play. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/Myu...na/IMG_0856.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/Myu...na/IMG_0857.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/Myu...a/IMG_0858s.jpg

He could just make a bigger one to add holes for a wider range. Or even make it a closed vessel, cause this one is open ended. I would love to see Mr. Hind make a wishbone flute out of wood though. That would be the awesomeness imo. He does custom orders, but it'll cost big bucks. Who knows I might win the lottery XD

Well it is a 4 hole flute, but all the holes are the same size. I don't know the exact range of this flute. But I don't think it equals that of an english style 4 hole.

Has OcariDNA Posts: 114 Group: Member Member #391 Joined: May 21, 2008	Sorry for the double post but no one has posted in this thread in a long time so I think its acceptable. Darryn Songbird has put new ocarinas up on his site since the last time I had been there. He calls them sculpted ocarinas and they are basically sculpture art and an instrument. You can check them out at His website, they are in the bottom right on his menu. They look great, I wonder how they sound?

Poor excuse for an ocarina-player. Posts: 270 Group: Member Member #733 Joined: June 24, 2008	I'm glad to see he's expanding his range, and producing actual transverse sweet potatoes.
