    Ah, yes, the didgeridoo. I have two. One is in the key of D and the other is a sliding didgeridoo and can be put to pretty much any note you like. The didg is a beautiful instrument!

    in music appreciation class the other lesson, we had an entire class on the digjerido. the teacher is amazing at it also man. he played for quite a while, taught us alll about it... and we even listened to some truly ethnic northern australian aborigani music. it really inspired me to go out an find one.

    i got one from a travelling market that came to my town. still am trying to work out how to circular breathe. hmph. but can make it sound like i can play it heh heh. it's so beautiful. saw a guy recently in london near the royal festival hall playing one and he had a pool of yukky spit on the floor. wow. didge is fun. my friend goff has one and plays it in his metal rock band.

    Didge's are awesome. I make em' out of bamboo and hand paint them. I used to run with a group that would go into 'alternative' schools (for the bad kids) and we'd bring drums etc.. Kids love the didge man. I think it's because they can start out by making frrrrrrrrrrrrrrt sounds :).

    For Sure. Yirdaki is, in my opinion, the worlds greatest instrument. I have 7 so far. All straight from Down Under. Ranging from F# to B. Great for a workout or deep meditation. Just can't get enough didge!

    They are awesome! Their sound is really authentic and very smooth. They are made out of a mixture of wood colored, molded components...alternative to wood. The designs are hand-painted,too.
