The Hand flute or Handflute is a sort of musical instrument made by the hands. It is also called a 'Hand ocarina' or 'Hand whistle'. To produce sound, one creates a type of chamber with their hands which they blow into between an opening at the thumbs. There are two main techniques involving the shape of the hand chamber: the "cupped hand" technique and the "interlock" technique.[citation needed]
The pitch depends on how the hands are held. If the space between the hands is made smaller or the opening made larger, the pitch becomes higher: the principles are the same with an ocarina or Helmholtz resonator; see vessel flute for details of the acoustics. The best hand flute players in the world have a range between 2.5 to 3 octaves.[1]
