Description
This is my fourth ocarina. It is tuned to the key of B flat. It took approximately 2 weeks of work (about 4 hours each day) to finish. This was my very first wooden one and took longer because I really had no idea what I was doing with the wood. Clay is a much easier material to work with.My fifth ocarina is a left-handed one and if I feel like working on it, it will be nearing completion this weekend.

Ahhhh... Want. I've only made two 'ocarinas' and they really are just whistles with holes. 
It looks great.

Unfortunately, no. I wish I had more time to make them but I am applying to college soon, so I have not had any time.

sweet! I take it is two halves glued together? It took me ages to get the tuning right on mine. yours look great.

Yes. That's precisely how I made it. It took me ages to achieve a sound because I'd never made one in wood before this. Thank you for your kind comment.

As a left-hander, I must approve of a pending left-handed ocarina.

It's sitting in the workshop being neglected at the moment. Hopefully I get around to finishing it before the end of summer. (;

did... did you carve that??! OMG hard! How did you hollow it out?
Looks gorgeous!

Yes, I did. Thank you! Actually, it is two pieces that I glued together. I hollowed out each piece separately with a Dremel drill and then shaped the exterior of each half. Then, I glued them together with wood glue.
