====Parameters that effect the sound characteristics of an ocarina ====
This is as complete as possible of a list of factors that effect the way an ocarina sounds. Ocarinas are frequently modeled in a very simplified manner that does not get at how many of 

=== CORE PARAMETERS ===
Changing the parameter- 

Things that effect the volume either- \\
Makes the ocarina Louder (can also just be for the top/bottom of range)\\
Makes the ocarina Quieter (can also just be for the top/bottom of range)\\

Things that effect the pitch position- \\
Makes the ocarina higher pinched (range stays the same)\\
Makes the ocarina lower pitched (range stays the same)\\ 

Things that effect the pitch range- \\ 
Makes the ocarina have less of a range (pitch position stays the same)\\
Makes the ocarina have more of a range (pitch position stays the same)\\ 

Things that effect the timbre- \\ 
Makes the ocarina breathier \\
Makes the ocarina clearer \\

Things that effect total air use- \\
Makes the ocarina require more air to play \\
Makes the ocarina require less air to play \\

Things that effect how quickly the ocarina sounds- \\ 
Makes the ocarina take longer to speak \\
Makes the ocarina take less time to speak \\ 

=== Properties that effect the core parameters ===

Windway- \\
Total length of windway \\ 
Width of windway \\ 
Height of windway \\
taper of windway (either height or width or both) \\

Windway opening into the voicing hole- \\ 
Shape of the exit of the windway into the voicing hole \\
taper of the exit of the windway into the voicing hole \\ 
Shape of chamber below windway opening \\
height of windway opening (to outside, or inside of the chamber) \\
angle of windway as compared to chamber \\  

Labium and voicing- \\ 
Curvature of labium \\
slope of labium \\
shape of the labium edge (round, teardrop, rectangular, ect)\\ 
size of voicing hole \\ 
proximity of solid surfaces to voicing such as face or sheltering \\
proximity of tone holes near the voicing \\ 

wall thickness- \\
amount of wall on the note holes \\

external factors- \\
shape and size of room \\
amount of echo (harmonic reinforcement) of room \\ 
temperature \\ 
Density of air \\
elevation \\
