The ocarina
 |
Our clay flutes are made exclusively out of fine white ceramic and are wholly handmade. This means that every flute is unique.
After forming the flute and decorating it with glaze, six holes are tuned chromatically. These cover one octave. By making differently sized holes, flutes with all kinds of basic tonality can be produced.

The flutes are fired at a temperature of over 2000 degrees fahrenheit (1100 degrees Celsius), which guarantees the required density of clay. Small chips caused by wearing and carrying the flute will not damage the quality.
The flutes range in size from 25 mm diameterto a just about holdable 100 mm.
Each flute comes with a leather thong for wearing around the neck and an
instruction book instruction how to play. The book also includes further information on the
production and the
history of the ocarina.

The book of notes for the ocarina
After receiving many requests for a music book I decided to compile such a book of tunes. It is a collection of 32 medieval and renaissance melodies, ranging from simple to advanced and including dance tunes and songs, especially arranged for the clay flute.
