Make A Clay Ocarina

Step 9 Cutting and perfecting the voicing

Put the popsicle stick into the mouthpiece and put the mouthpiece into the hole with the popsicle stick in it. push the popsicle stick into the clay in front of it and cut on a slant towards the popsicle stick. This slant makes noise when air is blown onto it.

does the hole go all the way through into the ocarina?

Yes,
It works kind of like a pan flute, the air is blown over the small hole and vibrates through the chamber. If you don't cut the hole all the way through, it won't make noise.
