Hi,
After reading this thread, I tested all my raku pieces. They all ring.
All are thrown with Laguna " Rods Bod" or "Soldate 60" , cone 10 clays.
All were bisqued at C/04. A pot with a crack in will not ring, I don't
have any Crackle glazed pots to test, but I would think that if the pot
is crack free then it will ring regardless of the glaze. BUT... I
remember a C/5 glaze that was basically an Albany glaze, high clay
content, did not ring. Not being a glaze guru, I always thought it was
either the high clay content or the glaze just did not fit really well.
I know the person who has it and it is used on a regular basis for
25yrs. Mike Gordon

My Laguna ^6 B-mix ^06 bisqued pieces ring unless I have a crack.
I am not a raku maven but I think a higher bisque firing might help???
