Ceramic ocarina Spirit of the autumn forest. Clay flute with unique hand-painted

The Ceramic ocarina Spirit of the autumn forest. Clay flute with unique hand-painted has seven holes, with which you can change the pitch within one octave. This is enough to play simple melodies.
The ocarina is decorated with unique hand-painted overglaze technique. This is a professional method of painting ceramics, which requires three or more firing times and the use of special paints. It produces beautiful colors and crisp patterns. For more expressiveness, I used a gold drawing. This is a special preparation of gold that allows you to obtain a thin gold layer on ceramics.

The part of a whistle which is not covered with glaze polished is also covered with wax which protects it from pollution and provides easy gloss.

For convenience and carrying on a neck I attached a black waxed cord. You can use this hand painted flute as ocarina necklace.

Length 4.3 inch (108 mm)
Width 3.2 inch (82 mm)
Thickness 1.2 inch (30 mm)

Due to roasting at a temperature of about 980 degrees, the ceramic ocarinas have a great hardness, so they do not need special care. The main thing is to avoid falling and strong impacts on hard surfaces, since the product can break. Our ocarina is treated with wax, which gives them a light shine and enhances color. This cover can be updated from time to time. For this purpose, polishes for furniture on a wax basis are well suited. You can also use creams for shoes, which include natural wax. Just apply the product on the surface of the ocarina, and when it absorbs, wipe the instrument with a clean cloth.

Over time, you may notice that the instrument began to sound worse. This means that the whistle has become dirty. Try several times to blow into the ocarina as much as you can. In most cases this is sufficient, but in some cases more serious measures are required. Pick up a piece of metal wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a length of about 15 cm thicker can spoil the whistle, proceed sale with caution! Bend in half so that the loop matches the width of the air channel of the mouthpiece. Spread the wire on the fire and gently clean the hole. Repeat the operation several times and the ocarina will regain voice. See how to do this in the video: https://youtu.be/7KPIQRy2URg

Sometimes the sound disappears due to improper handling. Examine the whistle if the thin plate opposite the mouthpiece is broken, then it will be impossible to restore the sound! Fortunately, this happens very rarely, after unsuccessful falls or children's games. Also, do not try to change the musical structure of the ocarina. Such actions in most cases lead to damage to the product.
