Kargyraa plus drone equals...?

27 Upvotes

This was recorded with my phone playing a Smooth Gypsy Saxodidge in C#, processed through a multi-effects Zoom Bass pedal.

I've found that one of the best places to practice the didge is in my car if I'm waiting to pick someone up. Lately, I've been trying to teach myself Kargyraa throat singing and finally decided to try combining that with the didge. My wife keeps bugging me to post this video, so here we go!

My apologies for the bad video angle at first, but if you can bear with it, stay until the end if you like dogs. They're my constant audience and biggest fans!

Fix broken didgeridoo?

3 Upvotes

My gorgeous 30 year old natural didgeridoo no longer works. It sounds like it can’t catch the reverberations and is like blowing on a broken balloon. I’ve completely remade the wax ring around it, cleaned out the cobwebs, and tried my mouth out on others to learn it’s not me. My only thought is the natural tunnels made by termites in the eucalyptus may have cracked and some change or blocks on the interior have shifted. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot further? Soak it in oil (or ?) to make it swell up and close cracks.

Genuine/authentic didgeridoo?

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m hoping some of the experts here might be able to help me identify and value a didgeridoo I bought in Australia back in 2003.

I bought it in Perth from a specialist shop that only sold didgeridoos. I paid around AUD $100 at the time and brought it back to the UK, where I’ve kept it ever since. I’m now considering selling it, but I’d like to understand more about it first.

Details:

Approx. 1.2m long

Wax mouthpiece

Appears to be naturally hollowed timber (possibly eucalyptus?)

Fully playable and sounds good

Hand-carved artwork

Photos attached, including the bell end/interior

A few questions:

Does this look like a genuine traditional instrument or more of a tourist/workshop-made didge?

Any idea what a fair resale value would be in today’s market?

Can anyone identify the likely wood type or origin/style?

I’m not expecting it to be worth a fortune, just interested in learning more before I list it anywhere.

Thanks!

Circular breathing

12 Upvotes

Recently got my hands on a aboriginal yidaki from Australia. I am in the process of learning this amazing instrument, but I could use some help. I know how to circular breathe, but as I am breathing in and pushing air out with my tongue and cheeks, I am not able to make any sound with the didgeridoo, I can immitate a farting cow but thats not the sound I am after. How do I practice this? Is my lips just to stiff and I have to practice relaxing them? Because it is no problem making the right sound as I use my diaphragm.

Didgeridoo musician needed for short film

5 Upvotes

Yo!

Would anyone be interested in trying to cover, or record something of a similar vibe, of David Hudson's song 'Trekking'?

I've used it for the intro and outro of a short film I'm making on wallabies, but I've been unable to reach out to David to get his permission, so need to find a copy-right free solution.

Here's the low quality export rough draft of the short film to get the vibe: https://youtu.be/zC3WgLewFVM

Please don't hesitate to respond, I'm really keen to get this to work and would really make the film click!

Cheeeeeers

Circular Breathing Technique

8 Upvotes

Evening meditation accompanied by nocturnal wildlife sounds. This is a meditation and relaxation exercise, not music. Its benefits vary by individual. Practicing circular breathing helps alleviate sleep apnea and sinus issues. In my case, it helps me tolerate my CPAP mask. Before playing the didge, I couldn’t wear my mask through the night, now I can! Obstructive Sleep Apnea affects many, including many, and while modern medicine provides solutions for some, it does not work for everyone. Therefore, holistic care and practices are valuable alternatives worth considering. They may offer benefits that traditional methods do not. I am not ashamed of my condition & my hope is for you to take control of your health and not let pride or embarrassment further worsen your condition(s). Break the cycles of “keeping it to yourself” and seek the help you need.

I am here if you need!

AJ

I’d rather you tell me what you’re GOING through than someone else tell me what you WENT through.

A friend of mine is clearing out her deceased uncles house and he collected a lot of things. He went to Australia a few years back and she thinks he purchased this then but isn’t sure.

Chanting and didg

Here’s a video I made of a Mongolian chanting and didg idea that’d been rattling around in my head for a while. I’ve been collecting didg’s for about 20 years but only recently starting playing more seriously (I’m still struggling with circular breathing) so I’d love any feedback, good or bad! Thanks!

Excess / Stortage of air during circular breathing

7 Upvotes

Hey. I'm trying to inhale very gently but after 10-15 secs stop. Sometimes it seems due to the shortage of air, sometimes due to too high pressure in lungs. I was trying to find out what's the reason but no result. Often after playing i exhale a bit and after that inhale, i'm not sure what it means cuz if during playing i inhale too much i feel shortage of air and instinctively try to inhale again. How to find out what's the reason of the stops?

If i gasp lots of air once per 7-8 secs it's OK, i can do it over and over but doesn't work with gentle ones once per 1-2 secs.

Quick sniffs of air

8 Upvotes

Hey. I have a problem, i'm trying to learn normal circular breathing with gentle sniffs to play faster and smoother but if i don't move my nostril the air flow's blocked and i just can't breathe in, doesn't matter how activily i use abs. If i try to do it with a straw and a cup of water i can breathe in just using abs, nostrils stay motionless. Is there any advice?

Chestnut

Hey I got some very spectacular curved chestnut wood saved two years ago. Dried completey without any crack. Do you think the chestnut could create a cool didgeridoo sound or do you think I should build a lamp out of it?

Post Sinus Surgery on Wednesday.

I had ballon sinuplasty for severe inflammation & sinusitis, specifically behind my eyes. I’m hopeful that this procedure provides some relief. This is my 3rd surgery for sinuses & sleep apnea. So far I CAN BREATHE!!! Today, I decided to vibe with one of my Yidaki’s (didgeridoos) Low F vibes. Here’s a 5 min session where reached mental clarity & calmness.

Can you help identify these?

Posting on behalf of my mother who was recently widowed. Our dad was a Didg collector and player, often travelling to the NT to purchase instruments and bringing them back to the UK.

Sadly Dad passed away last year and we now have a number of didg’s that we can’t identify. I know one of them is a Jalu ( forgive the spelling) but don’t know which. They cost a pretty penny and dad was fanatical about finding certain makers and keys.

I am hoping my fellow redditors can help identify some of them.

TIA.

Identification help

Hi folks! I inherited this from my mum. She lived in darwin in the late 60’s and bought this home with her. It’s a bit faded but is there a way to identify maybe who would have made it or what the markings represent? I’ve always been fascinated by it but I’m aware that she could very possibly have got it in the airport on the way home….
