how to make a PVC ocarina

In this instruructable you will learn how to make a PVC ocarina!
From wikipedia;
The ocarina ( /RkYırument.[1] Variations do exist, but a typical ocarina is an enclosed space with four to twelve finger holes and a mouthpiece that projects from the body. It is often ceramic, but other materials may also be used, such as plastic, wood, glass, clay, and metal.

I have searched high and low across the Internet and found no instructions on how to make an ocarina other than clay.
So as far as I know this is a first so bear with me.

here is a vid of how it sounds.

Roughly, what are the diameters of the finger holes?

[BBFNN]

can you make it more holes? how will it affect the sound? what if it longer or shorter?

A longer or wider ocarina will have a deeper sound, for one, which means a shorter or smaller one will have a higher pitch. As far as the holes go, you can put in as many as you want as long as you have a tuner and know what fingering layout you want. The notes are even affected by how hard you blow into it, as I learned while testing my tuner program on a clay ocarina I had laying around.

Added wav files to all the ocarina instructables
Thanks again Rimar.

Good work!

Can you add a MP3?

[Omegablood]

the u tube link has a sound sample, I don't know how to play just yet.

[rimar2000]

Sorry, I had not seen the link to Youtube.

Here I attach a wav (very poor) I did with the Windows Sound Recorder. I think it must function here. I tried to convert your Youtube to MP3 but something went wrong.

MP3 or WAV are easy to build today, you can do it using a notebook or desktop PC, digital camera, digital recorder, a digital player / recorder, tablet PC, etc,etc.

How do you attach a wav file? That would be better than posting a youtube link. :)

[rimar2000]

Using "Upload Image". As simple as this!

Wish I had known that sooner, that was easy! ;P
Thanks Rimar.
