@@illmtoloko It depends on the temperature the clay is fired at. Low temperature (earthenware) is polished with a stone, that's called burnishing. Those look glazed, something that's not possible at low temperatures, since it's done by melting different mixtures of minerals or metals onto the pottery.
@fancycrafts7774 Earthenware clay can't be fired higher than earthenware temperatures without melting, so the glaze (it appears to be a single clear glaze) must also be an earthenware glaze, fired to the "low temperatures" of roughly 1000°C. ;) The colours appear to derive from a coloured slip, which is much the same as a simple glaze - essentially composed of just clay, water and a colourant. It's applied before any glaze (to get the benefits of the glaze, such as hardness and waterproofing, but also because glaze becomes more fluid at high temperatures and wouldn't be able to support it).
Awesome job, Chris. We need more American Bass ocarinas!
Hello david , i am a subscriber to your channel 😁
I love the sound of the largest one. Rumbling and beautiful.
I am fascinated by the paint jobs, those ocarinas have an earthy, ancient relic aesthetic that I really love.
Nice Job.
these are wonderful
They sound wonderful!
Awesome video Boss. I plan on buying one of your bass ocarinas. Planning on posting another video. Get back to you soon.
Beautiful
Chris, what does "in the key of X " really mean? It plays natural notes beginning at this note or it has the notes of this scale?
Nice! Do you plan on putting any Bass E's on your website?
Sometimes, I think that the sound of one of those bass ocarinas would be a little too low to hear
Could you possibly make a video on how you throw them on the wheel
Hi Chris,
What is it that determines the key?
The size of the ocarina. The more space inside the ocarina, the lower the key is.
Chris, which type of paint do you paint them? And how do get this shiny glass like?
sorry about my english
6 years later reply , i think you can polish it with a stone when the clay is dry (not fired)
@@18IMAMGODINA thank you! :)
