I always include the fingering charts when I ship an ocarina, but sometimes they get misplaced after a while.  So here are the fingering charts for all of my ocarinas.  

If you have an 11 hole C or D ocarina, you can use the 12 hole fingering charts, just ignore the lowest note on the chart.  

The ocarina is a C transposing instrument, so the C fingering chart is a must.  However, I sometimes like to play the other tunings in actual concert pitch as opposed to transposing the music.  This is particularly valuable when faced with a piece of music that is just slightly outside the normal range of a C ocarina.  For this reason I always include a "concert pitch " fingering chart with any ocarina not tuned to C.  As far as I know, I am am the only maker that does this.

• Alto C 12 Hole

• Alto G 11 hole

• Soprano D 12 hole

• Alto Bb 11 hole

• Soprano Eb 11 hole

All of the charts are in PDF format. You will need the free ADOBE Reader to view PDF files. It can be downloaded and installed from the ADOBE website.
