than 35 years experience as a ceramic artist
including 17 years of ocarina making
experience
Sixth Street Ocarina -located in Columbia, Missouri – is a family business dedicated to offering a unique line of high quality handmade ceramic ocarinas and clay whistles.
Owned by Chris Heuer and Amy Lake, they work as a great team and keep the quality of every item they produce and their number one priority. Amy is the Business Manager and Production Potter while Chris creates the musical pieces of art.
Sixth Street Ocarina uses a variety of clay working techniques to make their products including wheel throwing, hand building, slab work, and press molding. All of our glazes and decorations are non-toxic and washable.
To ensure rich and full sound, each ocarina is individually tuned so it will play an accurate musical scale in the key of C or F. The ocarinas are tuned to A 440 Hz concert pitch.This is done by playing the ocarina and adjusting the hole sizes in the leather hard ,bone dry and bisque state.
Time is spent to hand decorate the ocarinas and whistles, so each one is a unique piece of art in addition to a musical instrument.
Others agree passion and care goes into each instrument.
