🔬 The Ocarina Pitch Mystery: Is it Hole Position or Hole Size?
Welcome back to the Eidolove Acoustics Class! Many beginners ask: What is the key factor that determines an Ocarina’s pitch—the position of the finger holes, or the size of the holes? The answer is: both are essential, but they play different roles. Understanding this relationship is crucial to truly appreciate the Precision Craftsmanship that defines the Eidolove Ocarina.I. 🔑 The Core Principle: Both Define the "Effective Length" As a closed-chamber instrument, the Ocarina’s pitch is determined by the "Effective Acoustic Length" of the air column inside the chamber. Opening a hole is equivalent to shortening this length. Hole Position: Determines the approximate pitch range (Macro-Tuning). Hole Size: Determines the precise accuracy of the pitch (Micro-Tuning).II. 🎯 Position's Role: Macro-Tuning (Defining the Scale) The hole's position is the primary factor dictating large pitch jumps, such as transitioning from C to D. Principle: A hole positioned further away from the blowho
