Börs Anders making ocarinas from wood.

He makes the ocarinas from pieces of Swedish birch, which he turns and drills to appropriate proportions. Then Börs Anders makes a block, cuts out a labium and drills finger holes in adequate positions. The ocarina encompasses from nine to eleven tones. It is fully chromatic.

The Börs-ocarina combines the best from the ocarina and the recorder.
