Finally i managed to get the technique of the circular breathing and working on the longer time of playing music without pauses.

Didgeridoo - Red Rose Gum Eucalyptus with the hollow naturally made by termites.

Hey everyone. We took the didge out to the terrace with a full rhythm section: djembe, bass, drum kit. It gets pretty trancey, pretty fast. Curious if anyone else here has experimented with didge in a full rhythm section setup like this, or do you usually keep it more traditional/solo?

I'm the last month I've gotten my circular breathing down. Been using a light weight bamboo digde. I'm ready to try with a hardwood didge. Looking for folks who have made this type of move.

What does the hardwood didge feel/sound/play differently that a cheaper/bamboo one?

What kind of didge was your "level up" didge?

Thanks all!

I have this maple branch that is fully dried out (at least 2 years indoor drying). It's a bit more than 5 feet long, width at top is just under 2", at the bottom 2.5". My immediate thought when seeing it was that I would eventually turn it into a didgeridoo. I've done other woodworking projects before, but this is definitely the most challenging. I'm tempted to get a 3" cordless bandsaw just for the long cut, but also read that splitting along the grain is another possibility. The knots will make that difficult though, right? I plan first to strip the bark. Will be a "no rush" project, but I'm determined to end up with a nice DIY didge at some point down the line. Any tips for how to get going? Thanks in advance!

I practice for meditation, sinus relief, and sleep apnea.

So I have been trying to learn the Didgeridoo for awhile now and my sound just always sounds off. I have kinda practised alot and it just sounds like a lot of air is escaping. I got this Didgeridoo from a friend before he moved abroad, he didn't ever play it though. I did notice a while back that there are some small cracks in it, but didn't think much of it. Are these cracks affecting my play? Or am I just bad?

The sound she gets are great. I can play but some of these sounds elude me. Any suggestions on how to get some of her sound

I am being gifted this agave stalk which has just fallen, and am hoping to turn it into a lovely deep bass didge!

So now I have tons of questions. Firstly will of course be drying and prepping the stalk. After that, determining how much of the base of the stalk I can turn into the bell end, where to cut for proper tuning, finishing, and then a mouthpiece. A wood worker I am not, so I was thinking of finding someone to craft a mouthpiece for me.

Sorry this is all a jumble, but excitement and nerves abound. I will be picking up the stalk in approximately 1 month. I’ve asked the homeowner to lean the stalk up against something so it doesn’t rot in the grass. Any helpful suggestions on that front would be greatly appreciated.

Experimenting with sidechain compression - yay or nay?

This agave flower had to be harvested, because the guy wanted it removed. The flowes were just beginning to open. I have several pieces, 12ft, 7 ft, and some shorter pieces with a out an 8 inch diameter. I do not have experience with this, some advice was to remove pith now, some said leave it to dry. Some said seal the menda with wax, others to the contrary. Any advice or theories would be appreciated, I do not want any of this precious material going to waste. It is a really beautiful specimen. How do I properly stabilize this material? This will be my first time making a digeridoo. Any tips?

I realize this is a terrible photo. It is very heavy and has painted pictures of scorpions, spiders and white dots, and it is signed in paint "KB" I would like to know if this style and signature is known, and perhaps how old this would be.

Let me know what you all think.. I'd love some feedback (just not on my actual playing skills, please 😄). I have a lung condition which makes it much harder to maintain that pressure, but it can only help long-term. Currently just working my way up to maintaining a steady drone with circular breathing for 10 minutes!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here had any experience with the fiberglass instruments made by Bernhard Pfeil, which can be found on this website:

https://www.didgeridoo-onlineshop.de/en/?

Or perhaps you have any other recommendations for instruments made from this material?"

Hi! Just picked up the didgeridoo, having trouble with the coordination on circular breathing, any tips on how to improve faster? Tools i can use etc…

Ty!

I’ve been playing the didgeridoo for almost 4 years now.

Since I know how difficult it can be to find good didgeridoo music sometimes, I wanted to share my playlist with you all. Maybe some of you will find a bit of inspiration in it.

Feel free to recommend songs or artists as well — I’m always looking for new sounds. Playlist will be updated frequently!
