Tuning a 10 Hole Ocarina

Table of Keys


finger holes

Below is a table which shows all the notes of each of the 12 musical keys.

The corresponding ocarina fingering positions for the Major Scale are on the top row, (over the blue columns) and are numbered one (1) through eleven (11).

The black finger hole indicates that the finger hole is covered. The white finger hole indicates that the finger hole is uncovered. The half-black center means that the finger hole is partially covered.

The notes in the white columns are obtained by cross-fingering. Cross fingering is where an uncovered finger hole lies above a covered finger hole.
