Help! My Ocarina Sounds Muted or Hoarse (Easy Fix)
🎵 Key Takeaway If your ocarina suddenly sounds "hoarse," "muted," or "fuzzy" after 10 minutes of playing, it is not broken. It is just clogged with moisture (condensation). Here is how to fix it in 3 seconds. I get emails all the time: "Help! My ocarina broke! It sounded great yesterday, but now the high notes are silent." Don't panic. Your Eidolove ocarina is ceramic. Unless you dropped it, it doesn't just "break." The problem is Physics. The Enemy: Condensation Your breath is warm and moist. The ceramic ocarina is cool. When warm air hits cool clay, water droplets form. These droplets get stuck in the Windway (the narrow slit you blow into). When the windway is blocked, the sound dies. Why Material Matters Plastic ocarinas clog up very fast. High-quality ceramic, especially Smoked/Straw Fired models like our Azure series, has a natural texture that handles moisture better than heavy gloss finishes.
