AC-12 Hole Ocarina Blue Sweet Potato

The AC-12 Hole Ocarina Blue Sweet Potato is one of the best 12-hole ocarinas curretly available. It is a soft-blow ocarina which makes it easier to play. It needs less air-pressure than the standard variant and also maintains an almost constant air-pressure over the whole range. It is therefore a very good beginner's ocarina. The sound is equally balanced and clear throughout, but softer compared with the standard modell. It is precisely tuned to Alto C and made with the Asian 12-hole fingering system. The two additional little holes are played with both middle fingers. The higher e and d sharp are distinguished by the two thumbs. Although this may seem unfamiliar to players of 10-hole ocarinas in European style, it is actually easier. A fingering chart gives extra instruction on how to apply your fingers.

A light blue glaze and the shape inspird from the “ideal” ocarina give it a youthful flourish. The AC-12 Hole Blue Sweet Potato is an ideal musical companion – easy to play, easy to carry with you, with a beautiful sound and the maximum range of a single-chambered ocarina.
