Ocarina Fingerings

[HollyAnn]

Hi, I'm new here and I've been searching the net all night long to try and find fingerings for my Ocarina.

I found out I have an 8-hole Italian-style "Sweet Potato" ocarina. My dad bought it when he was young, and he gave it to me when I was a teen, but I never was able to play it because it seemed that the music stores had never seen an ocarina in this shape before (all they had were the small round ones).

This is what my Ocarina looks like: www.ki-tera.com/hollyann/Temp/ocarina.jpg

Anyways, I managed to find a fingering chart for my Ocarina here: s89015200.onlinehome.us/oc-land/itchart.gif

However, it doesn't show how to do sharps and flats. Does anyone know where I can find a fingering chart that shows all the notes and fingerings for them?

It's simple. Just cover one hole over. For example, if x|xxxxxoo is E, then x|xxxxxox is Eb. This works for all sharps and flats.
