Gosselink Ocarina

[sparx7974]

i see we have no threads here so ill start. one of my favorite european ocarinas is the oliver gosselink ocarinas due to there peculiar shape and paint. also they sound unique.

Hey sparx,

when ya get the chance, please conform your first post according to the guidelines of listing an ocarina maker.

As seen here: http://octalk.net/forum/index.php?topic=14.0


Thanks!



--Sergeant, OUT!

the only link to him i could find was on the ocarina network. but posting to there is against the rules also so it creates a ocarina paradox

I really like the glazing.

I've got one of his oiseaucarinas, and another is on the way, that I believe to be one of his, too. It looks very pretty and has the wonderfulliestest sound ever. (One superlative alone is just not enough to describe it.)

How did you get them, Poltergeist?^^
I´ve read about Gosselink a few times, but I´ve never seen an online shop or a music shop selling them..

Cute birds, does anyone have a soundsample?^^

http://www.ocarina.de/ here a link to the gosselink website with sound samples

[BabyTurtle]

Ah, that's Rotter's site, not Gosselink's site, Mitchell
The sound samples are also from Rotter's ocarinas..

But: Yay, I've finally found some more information about Gosselink today xD
He's from France, makes 7-hole and 10-hole ocarinas and I even found a sound sample

Here's a website that talks a bit about him but it's in French. 
I can read it and it doesn't say much except from where the ocarinas originate.

The only thing it says about Gosselink is that the pictures below the text were made by him.

Also here's a picture of a few other oc's from Gosselink.

It's not much information but it's something. 

UPDATE: I've found Mr. Gosselink preforming in a clip! It should be him playing the ocarina part, and yes they're singing in french.

UPDATE 2; I've found some other short clips of him. I know it doesn't give any information, but atleast you'll see who the maker is.

hmm. I got that from a different forum. Thought they would be right. I reckon I was wrong.

Somewhere on one of Hans Rotter's websites there is a link to an Ocarina Festival in 2008 or so, with a list of the makers that were present there and a soundsample. But Hans has built up quite a labyrinth. 

@Ikaruka: The triple ocarina he plays on YouTube is awesome! 

@BabyTurtle: I got my second from a Canadian seller on Ebay, because I recognized it as a Gosselink. And I've got my first from a French shop called "Percubox". Currently this shop has two Gosselink ocarinas for sale: a bird and a 10 hole transverse. A week ago the shop put up three transverses and and two birds, but they sold quite fast. I guess they have a connection to Olivier Gosselink.

Gosselink now has a website, which is under construction: http://musiquedeterre.fr/index.php

Here is a little Soprano G I bought from him when I met him at the Ocarina Festival:
