Ocarina


We were talking about ocarinas last night. I remember old Bill Gardner used to carry one about, which he said he'd owned for over 50 years. He also told me that, although his one was ceramic, the original ones were made from dried out Sweet Potato! I have since found out that this is incorrect. Sweet Potato IS another name for an ocarina, because of it's similarity in shape. Here is a tutoral that shows you how to make one - If you have access to a kiln!
