Pitch Range
Plays A3 to C8, fully chromatic
- C Major basic scale of 31 notes (4 1/8 octaves)
- 52 total notes when counting all sharps and flats
The Crazy Range Quad takes essentially full advantage of all four chambers to create a range unparalleled in the ocarina world, without compromising the excellent sound quality and chamber balance that ICO enthusiasts have come to expect. And, unlike more conventional triples and quads, the three upper chambers of the CR Quad share the same intuitive fingering pattern.
What's so great about all that range? It's not so much that you'll be running into a lot of music that calls for a 4-octave range. Well... you might, but not likely. Rather, it's being able to pick up one ocarina and play most songs in 2 to 3 or sometimes even 4 different octaves. Your call on just how important that might be!
