Pitch Range
Plays B3 to B6, fully chromatic
- C Major basic scale of 22 notes (3 octaves)
- 37 total notes when counting all sharps and flats
This extended range C triple differs from our normal C triple in having two additional toneholes on the underside, both covered by the right thumb. Thus, the four highest notes (A
6, A6, B6, and B6) are played by uncovering these two bottom toneholes. Serious and experienced players will find the extra range rewarding.
This ocarina has been finished with acrylic paint with a protective overcoat of food-safe polyurethane varnish. The photos show the actual ocarina to be purchased.
Shipping is from North Dakota to anywhere in the U.S. via U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail.
PLEASE NOTE!
This ocarina lacks a subhole in the first chamber that is normally present on all our ocarina models. This means that the range on the low end only goes down to a B3 (and not to an A3).
