Ocarina: Sound, Choice and Robert’s Experience
The word ocarina brings together instruments of different shapes and systems. In Robert's collection it appears as a ceramic voice that demands to listen to its tuning, observe its orifices and understand its response before choosing it.

The exterior shape does not tell the whole story
Two similar ocarinas can respond differently. Chamber volume, position and number of holes, tuning, and craftsmanship all influence how it feels and sounds.
Holes and fingering
The number of holes should not be guessed from the name. You have to observe the instrument and understand its specific system.
Sound and choice
A decorative ocarina and one prepared to play do not always fulfill the same function. The tuning must be checked.
Real experience
Robert knows the ocarina from musical practice
This page does not present a stocked catalog nor promise a separate ocarina school. It brings together the instrument, its sound within Robert's musical world and the questions that should be answered before looking for a piece to play.
Choosing also means understanding the work of the artisan
The shape, holes and air channel must work as a whole. Beautiful decoration is no substitute for proven tuning.

Consult a real case
Robert can discuss a specific instrument or an individual search without implying that he holds stock.
