Thank you so much! I have been trying to find the name for an instrament that I was given by a teacher years ago. Now I know it is called a Tonette. The one instrament that I have has no embossed name on it. I have been looking for its name for years. Thank you again!
@@dariuszbindacz8022 sorry for the late reply! I'm glad to hear you got in touch with them :D I recently checked, and it looks like they have some double pentatonic ocarinas in stock. They are in a different key though, but use the same system.

@@ReybenKimWoodwinds Thanks! Please note though Kinfolk has been out of business for some while. This is too bad as he, Sean, made great ocarinas at a fair price.
@@soslothful I have seen Sean posting his ocarinas on Istagram for sale :D As far as I know, he's closed down the etsy shop but still actively selling them on IG.
Wouldn't the chramitisism of the transverse make alternate tunings kind off redundant when you can play all those different scales on a chromatic ocarina. The only benefit I can see for alternate tuning is for very fast playing in which the accidental fingerings cumbersome depending on the key. Celtic music is easier to play for example when the fingerings are simpler. It could also be an excuse not to truly learn/master a chromatic instrument and the music theory/learning curve involved (you know who you are), like for small children, or incompetent adults, to get immediate gratification with little effort.
Great points! While alternative tuning ocs can make it easier for begginers to start improvising, they also offer a host of other benefits. Chromatic instruments are restricted to equal temperment tuning, while alt instruments can be tuned to the just intonation of a specific key - allowing the relationship of notes be more hamonious with each other. Alt tunings can also be made to mimic the fingering of other instruments, like Native American flutes, danso, shakuhachi, etc. It almost makes the instrument like a more portable version of the former. I do like that they can also simplify things for beginners. I don't see them as an excuse for people to not learn proper scales. I like to see them as a means to get people hooked on playing more by giving them a taste of the music that they can create 😀 That instant gratification of a flute with "no wrong notes" can be the jump start that a newbie needs to continue learning more about music.

Hey, you are the true ocarinas lover! Great collection, but the winner is that double chamber pentatonic minor, it's amazing!
Thank you! I really do love them. That double chamber penta is one of my favorites :D
@@ReybenKimWoodwinds Do you know if that ocarina is still available somewhere?
update:
Alright, I messaged the maker

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I have a Mesoamerican ocarina and am able to play popular songs on it manipulating the ocarina by half holing
Awesome! Yeah, those Mesoamerican instruments can be really fun if you figure out your way around them :D
Have you ever tried to make your own ocarina or thought about it?
I have only ever tried once. I made a little 4-hole ocarina out of bamboo. It ended up playing in F major.
@@ReybenKimWoodwinds Cool, I will try to make mine of clay, you can do rustic ovens with mud in your backyard. I really like the sound of the ocarina.
Quite interesting. Could you post links to some of the makers?
I'll add them to the caption :D

Anything is an Ocarina if you try hard enough.
Hahaha! I love that!
