Oliver Gosselink's ocarinas are awesomesauce or something methinks.

Follow this link for a big picture of his tunable sweet-potes: http://www.ocarina.de/reichenhall/start/gosselink_big.jpg

Anyone among us ever tried these?

Wow, those are beautiful! I wouldn't trust myself with a tuning knob though (something I've never seen before)

I have one, a soprano F sweet potato.

Their ocarinas are nice and have a bird-like sound.

Gosselink makes single and double (harmonic) bird shaped ocarinas, sweet potatoes and a sort of ceramic clarinet.

I've seen these ocarinas featured on the Ocarina Festival Budrio website. I guess you've seen them there in real life, delorian :D

I always did think they looked beautiful, but listening to that music file made me realise that they also sound beautiful :D :D :D :D

Yes... I've tried and played almost all the ocarinas you see in the photos posted by Walden ;)

The photo with the sweet potatoes was taken in Budrio in 2005.

Maybe not for long! If nobody buys that for a few months, I'm probably going to, unless anyone else wants to.

Yes, I have the photo but no longer the ocarina (I've sold it a couple of months ago :c ).

The tuning coulisse works well and I really like the bird-like sound.

I like the way that Gosselink has developed his own unique signature style, and has worked within it to make such an array of beautiful ocarinas.

http://www.ocarina-enchanteur.com/ocarinas.php

A french site without english section though, but my french is good enough to find this line:

Les ocarinas ci-dessous ont été créés par Olivier Gosselink.
->The ocarinas down here (refers to a picture) are created by Olivier Gosselink.

You could contact this man, Jacques André, and ask him about how to reach Monsieur Gosselink and whether he would sell an ocarina to you. Email-adress is on that site.
Good luck ^.^

PS: Genreally I don't like ocarinas with high sounds but this one is incredibly harmonic. I could imagine buying one, too.

Oh and I found a sweet potato one at the french ebay: http://cgi.ebay.fr/OCARINA-PROFESSIONNEL-TRAVERSIER-D%27OLIVIER-GOSSELINK_W0QQitemZ260478968380QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090919?IMSfp=TL090919196001r6661
