| オカリーナにはまってます。自分で作ったピッコロＣ、ソプラノＦ 、ふつうのＣ、アルトＦ、バスＣを使って演奏しています。昨年から地元のオカリーナの会（滝川ベラの会）で楽しく吹かせていただいています。友の会にも入れていただきたく、そちらにも、もう少し詳しく紹介いたします。よろしくお願いいたします。 | |
 | オカリーナをテレビで演奏しているのを見ました。是非はじめて見たいと思います。 あの音色がとても我慢ができません。何処で購入したらよいでしょうか。 種類もあるようですが。楽器店に飛び込んで聞いてみればいいですか。ヒントをいただけますか。 | |
 | Hello, my ocarina keeps getting hoarse and\or plugged up every few miutes I have to clean it out or blow into the holes or even blow real sharply into it. Did I break it what should I do and what could be causing it? | |
 | Hello I come from America. I play 2 different ocarinas. I have a 9 hole ocarina (tenor), A 6 hole ocarina (bass), and I'm getting an 11-hole ocarina soon (tenor) I really love your style Mr. Ogawa and I idolize your ocarina playing. | |
 | Mr Ogawa these are absolutely beautiful. I play a 4 hole (soprano) and a 6 hole (alto) and desperately want to play a 10 hole. I have fallen in love with yours and am interested in obtaining one. I don't know if you sell them or not, but I would be honored to own one of yours if it is possible. I also made one like your instructions. Your instructions are very easy and presice. After a few tries I made a playable one. Thank you for that. Please let me know about purchasing Trish Evans | |
| I was reading and a few pages back a subject of Sculpy ocarinas was brought up, I found a link that may interest people so... here it is. http://www.enasco.com/Static.do?page=ac_lesson#claywhistles | |
| Dear Mr. Ogawa, It has been about six years since you allowed me to buy one of your ocarinas, and i want to thank you again for your kindness to me. I am married now, but my name was Chris Lamb when I got the ocarina. Life is hard sometimes, but i have always found joy in playing my ocarina, and music has become very important to me over the years. Being able to express myself musically is a precious gift that I am very grateful for, and so I thank you again. I hope someday to do great things with ocarina, as you have. When I have more time to devote to learning, I would like to make ocarinas also. Earlier this year I had the honor to perform on a CD that a friend of mine was recording. As a massage therapist, she wanted to expand her business by recording some relaxing music for meditation to sell to her clients. She liked the sound of your ocarina so much that she insisted that I play for the CD. She sings, and though it is our first musical endeavor, we had fun and learned a lot from the person who helped us record and produce the CD on his keyboard and computer. I would like to give you a copy of the CD to say thank you for making this possible. Also, I would like to purchase another ocarina from you. If you have a bass ocarina available, I will buy it. I play my big F most of the time, because I like the timbre of the lower notes on your ocarinas. El cant dels ocells is my personal favorite of your mp3 collection. Your work is truly an inspiration. Thanks also to Suimin. I hope you are well. Best wishes to you both. Blessings, Chris Toney | |
 | さきほど「お」友達の会へ入会手続きをさせていただきました。相談して、もう一名ほぼ同時に入会申し込みしています。 オカリーナは通信講座で先日修了しました。今後、ゆっくり楽しんでいけたらと考えています。この充実したお見事なサイトで勉強させていただきたく存じます。 共々、どうぞよろしくご指導のほどお願い申し上げます。 | |
| First of all, I want to thank you for putting in the time and effort to post such invaluable information here on this website. I was quite disappointed to hear that some people out there have been plagiarising. Ever since I was little I enjoyed playing music by myself. My musical experience involves playing the trumpet, and I have found that resonance control in the ocarina have things in common. As you have mentioned in the Ocarina room, it seems true that the Ocarina is not difficult to play at a rudimentary level, but extremely difficult to play it well. But this is good news for me - I have just begun this new adventure, and there is so much room to grow and improve! At current, I don't have much of a choice but to use the commercially available Ocarinas. But one day I am hoping to have accumulated enough knowledge on clay craftsmanship and Ocarinas to make my own. Your own Ocarinas are also an area of great curiosity, and I hope to be able to save up for one in the future. warm regards, Sam | |
 | Your website is inspiring to me. I have wanted to play the ocarina for years, and I am going to be beginning soon. Your website, and the songs you've played for us on it, capture my view of the ocarina very well, though I've never played it... I feel from hearing it and holding it, it is one of the most "natural" instruments there is. Thank you so much for showing this part of yourself, and for providing information on the ocarina. You've inspired me to begin playing. | |
