I'm a didger!!

Recommended Posts

Some of you may remember me asking if I should get a didgeridoo.

 

Well... instead of buying one, I made my own!

It took weeks... had to cut down a tree and hollow it out by hand with chisels and a mallet. It's 72" long in the key of B.

 

I've already mastered several techniques, including circular breathing, which enables several minutes to several HOURS of nonstop playing without having to stop for air.

 

I don't have any (decent) sound clips yet because my laptop's mic sucks. I hope to upload a sample soon :D

I want to master the vuvuzela and be able to play grand symphonies with it. x3

Nice handiwork, by the way. I wish I could make stuff like that...

Nice! What pitch is it?

 

It's a low B, with plenty of bass! Not as gritty with the vocals as I would have liked it to be, but I made it out of a cypress tree, and the wood is pretty soft. I need to redo the finish on the outside because I only put one coat on. Also, the seam is pretty visible. Not a professional job by any means, but for a first try I think I did pretty good :D

 

I can play basic rhythms, though I prefer to play a slow, meditative style. The longest I've been able to play is about 25 minutes straight.

I'm about to start on another one for a cousin of mine. When I get a bit better at crafting them, I wanna offer them for sale :D

 

If anyone's interested in the future, lemme know ;) LOL
