Ocarina Making Tutorial (12-hole)

I made this tutorial somewhere at the end of 2008, but it was too long to upload it. In the meantime I switched to Linux and didn`t have the right movie editor anymore. Now I finally re-made it on my windows laptop. I tried to keep it as long as possible for easy reading, but here and there you might have to read it a littlebit quick because of the 10 minute time limit... and I even managed to sneak in 5 more seconds, lol. I hope you all enjoy the tutorial and that it might help you to make your own ocarinas!

The picture of the 12-hole fingering chart and the picture that shows how to make undercuts were provided by K. Dunster of Greenverdugo.com

@semaj552 Ah that`s what you meant. The size of the soundhole also depends on the total size of the ocarina. Smaller ocarinas have a smaller soundhole than a bass ocarina. Most of the time it changes from about 5/6mm for small ocarinas to about 8 mm for larger ocarinas. Make sure you don`t make the soundhole too big. That happens very often in the beginning.

@Schwessie Sorry i ment, do you use that same size drill for the soundhole on all your ocarinas?
