thumb|300px|right The Acute Bend is a technique which is used to improve resonant tone on the highest notes of a single-chambered ocarina. It involves altering the arm and neck positions of the player to bring the ocarina's sound hole within inches of the player's torso. Though this technique is not required for all ocarina models, it is known to reduce airiness on the highest notes. This technique is almost used exclusively for the Alto C type of ocarina, which is the range tuning that is most prone to having problems with airiness on the highest notes.
