I’ve always wanted to learn to play a didgeridoo… I’ve known the mechanics of playing for over 12 years but never got around to making / buying one to practice circular breathing.

For my birthday this year I finally decided I wanted to get a didj but was afraid of getting an expensive one and later finding that I couldn’t get the circular breathing down – then I found this didgeridoo.

The one I received seems to be keyed to C#. The beeswax mouthpiece is already formed, although you may need to adjust the size to your own personal preferences.

It took me 3 days of solid practice before I got circular breathing down. Now it’s like second nature…

This didj has decent back pressure and a nice sound once you get used to it. Ofcourse, I can’t really compare it to any other, so I may be totally wrong. But it WAS good enough for me to learn on which is exactly what I hoped for. If a better quality didj is even better / easier to play on… that will be a bonus!

This is a great (cheap) didgeridoo to pick up if you’re interested in learning but don’t want to spend too much money.

Now that I know I can play atleast the basic drone, I’m looking to get a better didgeridoo.

The USPS attempted to deliver this a couple of days earlier than it was supposed to, then held it because the box was open. I am unclear as to whether it was shipped open, they say it was given to them open. When the postal service saw what was inside they thought it was an antique weapon and refused to release it until I came down to pick it up. It had some nicks around the part that was exposed from bumping and dropping, but it doesn’t appear to effect its playability.

There is nothing mystical or unique about this didgeridoo. It is a hollow wooden pipe with a slightly musky odor around the beeswax mouthpiece which I am unclear if someone had their mouth on previously. It doesn’t have the traditional termite hollowing as would an authentic didgeridoo from Australia, just a smooth, curved bore.

I prefer my instruments to have that "homemade" look to them, rather than a crappy, prefab paint job that every other Tom, Dick, and Harry has on the mean streets of Leesburg, Virginia.so I am somewhat pleased with the unique look of this item. After years of practice blowing raspberries into a cardboard wrapping paper tube I am pleased to find that the old skills are still there and I was able to effect a decent drone, much to the dog’s surprise, as she ran into the closet and has yet to reappear. Apparently the neighbors don’t appreciate my artistic license at 1 am as well. Aside from my performance space malfunctions, I am quite pleased with the outcome of this purchase and expect to be entertaining total strangers in no time with my worldly beatbox/meditative stylings. Now I am off to find some hippie clothes and/or a black hoodie to complete my transformation into a busker.

Hey you have to have something to fall back on in this economy, hopefully not while the chainsaws are running…

It is gorgeous and the sound is incredible. I wondered if they priced it wrong b/c it is so beautiful…. I shopped around for a long time..this FAR surpassed my expectations.
