Aria Ocarina Releasing Soon!
Tuesday, 26 June 2012 00:00
After a few delays - the 12 hole Aria is set for release and the 2 octave Aria is in its final prototype stages. There were some difficulties with the key manufacturing, so a delay was inevitable.
The 12 hole aria will initially be released in a matte black. A black and green stripe pattern version is expected in a few weeks.
The photo below is of the final prototype of the 12 hole Aria :
As you can see, it has a curved tapered end. This is to facilitate ocarina stability when playing the highest 3 notes. It also has a slightly angled and elongated mouthpiece. The elongation stabilizes the tone and while the tapering an the curve provide an excellent grip for the ring and pinky finger. A full demonstration and explanation of the ocarinas features will be provided when Cris completes her STL Overview of the ocarina.
