Production

We would like to show you a few steps in the birth of an ocarina
Different forms made out of gypsum
The clay is pressed into the form
One half of the ocarina is ready
The finished halfs are refined further
The joints are prepared
Cream of clay is used as a glue
The two halfs are assembled
After the final shaping the holes are cut out
Mouthpieces and holes get finished
Every tone is electronically tuned
The holes are modified to correct the tune of the ocarina
Ocarinas just before the baking
The making of our ocarinas takes about 30 steps. They differ from form to form.
