Pitch Range
Plays A4 to C7, fully chromatic
- C Major basic scale of 17 notes (2 1/4 octaves)

The Double AC Mini differs from our standard double AC ocarina in the following ways:
- Compact size... the Mini is significantly smaller than our standard Double AC and features a unique shape. A very portable instrument!
- The highest tonehole of the second chamber is moved to the underside of the ocarina to be covered by the right thumb.
- Breath pressure is medium but tends to be very slightly lower than the standard double AC.
A Double AG Mini is also available, $105.95. Send an email if interested.
