Pitch Range
Plays A3 to D6, fully chromatic
- C Major basic scale of 18 notes (2 3/8 octaves)
- 30 total notes when counting all sharps and flats
- Plays one additional diatonic note beyond the range of our standard Double BC ocarina
The Double BC Extra achieves its one note of additional range using a tonehole covered by the right thumb on the underside of the ocarina. This tonehole is placed where the thumb naturally rests anyway when playing the second chamber. Thus, the tonehole is covered comfortably, without extra effort... and then that last note is there when you need it!
Oak Leaf is a unique styling hand-crafted by Song Wei. Since Oak Leaf styling affects appearance only, this Oak Leaf bass double is identical to our standard Double BC Extra in playability and ergonomics.
