About this print
A twelve-hole ocarina is a small wind instrument with a rounded body and finger holes, capable of playing a full chromatic scale. This updated design revises the voicing window, labium edge and airway to improve playability in the upper register while preserving tonal warmth in the midrange. It is intended as a fully functional instrument for musicians and enthusiasts. PLA is a common material for printed ocarinas, as it produces smooth internal surfaces that support consistent airflow and tone.

I really loved the source ocarina by nimaid!
I wanted to update the instrument to make the top end more playable (high notes) without losing tone in the midrange, as it was beautiful in that area.
The voicing window, labium edge, and airway were updated to allow easy high notes, then dialed back some to regain most of the timbre that nimaid was able to create from this awesome thing.
After much reading, trial, and error, it turns out the answer wasn't too far from the original design afterall.
That's not to say I wouldn't refine this more in the future.
If you make one, please post it up!
