OcsBox - Ocarina Sound Control Box

Hi, guys. Please watch this video of the latest version of the OcsBox. (Hopefully, it will be attached to this post soon.) Ive looked into MANY other box ideas, but this latest version is attractive, durable, affordable, portable, and VERY quiet. In case you havent noticed, I really like it! (Should it be be OcsBox or OcBox?) Spatolo, tonguing and blowing one of our ocarinas through a tube is surprisingly similar to blowing directly into the mouthpiece. However, you have raised some excellent questions. Ill try to address them after I get a chance to play a lot in the OcBox over the next several days. Also, after I try it out for a bit, Ill want to send boxes to some of you for review and feedback. Let me spend some quality time with it first, though. Wink By the way, one thing I've become convinced of is the difference between sound absorbtion and sound transmission loss. Sound passes with surprising ease through most sound absorbing materials and through any holes or cracks. For that reason, sound absorbing materials alone often don't quiet things down as much as we think they will. However, if we use heavier, denser materials (without leaks) to contain the sound, then sound absorbers like acoustic foam will help dissipate that sound energy (into low grade heat) as the sound waves meet resistance while bouncing back and forth through the foam. Noah, when I first began working on this sound control concept, all my research was aimed at creating an affordable 4 x 4 x 7.6 ...
