| The
didgeridoo
(also: didgeridu, yidaki) is an Australian Aboriginal instrument used
musically,
in ceremony, and in ritual. Myths and legends abound about the
didgeridoo
and its relationship to the creation of the world in Aboriginal
cultures.
There is evidence it may have a history of over 40,000 years.
Traditionally
made from a eucalyptus tree which has been hollowed out from termites,
it is often today made from bamboo and other materials. It is played
like
a bass horn, giving off a deep, resonant drone sound, unlike any
instrument
you are likely to have heard. Painted by Aboriginal artist R. King. This didgeridoo has a clear voice voice with booming vocals and harmonic brilliance. Raark (crosshatch) design featuring everything from long neck turtles to flying heron. This didgeridoo is lightweight. Includes an instruction booklet and a brand new beeswax mouthpiece. Woolybutt eucalyptus. $25 shipping with the US We have other Australian didgeridoos in stock, contact us for more information.

We recommend 4' as a
good starter didg. Traditional sizes are roughly 3.5’ - 4.5’ See cases and instructional materials below. |

Sizes vary but usually are within 5
in. of upper length.
4 ft. didg is very good starting
instrument.
Smaller sizes have less of the depth
often wanted from a didg.
Larger sizes are generally a bit harder
to play, with breath & control.
Experienced players often enjoy the
larger sizes: 4.5" & 5 ft. are popular sizes.
Instruments are tuned. Can ask
by pitch and will advise what is in stock.
