Ocarinas United

Erik the Flutemaker makes something that looks a lot like that:

I don't own a set but they look pretty neat. Since the instrument is made of two pennywhistles you are limited in your range of notes when you're playing both at once, however.

If you want to play stuff like in the movie (i.e. a wider range of notes) I'd go for something more like Hind's Double Ocarina, which gives you an octave in both hands.

The Aulos is an ancient Greek instrument, typically associated with Dionysus / Bacchus - the god of wine and fertility. It was a double reed instrument, similar to an oboe, and is typically depicted as wishbone-shaped.

The aulos was how I discovered ocarinas, actually - I was looking for an instrument that could recreate sounds similar to what an aulos must have sounded like, and after Google searching I stumbled upon some of the double/harmony ocarinas. Thus my fascination with ocarinas was born...

Hi there.
I'm even newer to this forum, just came across it.
Well, I do make double flutes of a couple of kinds, as well as ocarinas, one of them double. Have a look at my site. I also have to add that very soon I'm going to drop the prices for the double flutes by some 20% or so. (haven't worked out exactly how much, hence the delay.)
If you come back to the site in about a month, there are going to be more instruments, bagpipes, some with double chanters and some sound samples as well. The sound samples will be an ongoing project for some while, progressively more added.
Sorry that my first post is so commercial, but that is how I came across this forum.
Cheers.
