Tuning and creation of ocarinas

The event

In this unique workshop, Kurt Posch will share his passion for crafting ocarinas—”a fascinating and intriguing instrument”—with the audience.

Self-taught, he quickly began creating concert-quality ocarinas with a rich sound, perfect tuning, and balanced intonation. All the ocarinas in the quintet with which he plays Tonpfiff, and which will perform at the Ocarithon, are crafted by him.

As a self-taught maker, Kurt has always been eager to share his work and collaborate with other craftsmen worldwide. His dedication to sharing his knowledge comes from a desire to spread the charm of the ocarina to others.

The workshop will be conducted in English and will last approximately one hour.
