I'd love to get in touch with others Mountain's owners (and players!) to better understand stuff about the instruments, and to play about techniques and the like. I feel like "Mountains" are a minority here, so perhaps we should gather and discuss about them toeghether. If *there* are some other Mountain's players here, of course.
Here's some issues I had in my first days of experimenting, I'd like to have your opinions. For now, a problem I found is about playing high pitches. First, ergonomically: keeping the ocarina steady with all the holes OPEN is pretty difficult to get used to.
Moreover, the higher is the note, the worse gets the tone. But still, I probabily have to find the right way to breath for every note. Opinions?
What worries me the most is about the plastic of the fipple of one of the two ocarinas (the G one). It looks defective, like if the melted plastic was cutted imprecisely when the piece was maked. I hope to gave the idea. I don't know if that's critical or not, the imperfection it's not SO BIG. But since that the mouthpiece is the most important part of any wind instrument I'm still unsure... Is it normal that I get a much cleaner sound on the C than on the G? Thoretically the G should be easier to play, but here is the opposite. Don't know if the problem is the fipple or whatever. Is it normal for you to get a cleaner sound on the C?
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and experience.
Ciao!
