Anyone here have or play a Didgeridoo

[tranceport]

Well does anyone here have one? Where did you get yours? What would you suggest for a long time listener first time player?

I have one, but I haven't put the time into it. I can get a drone going, but I can't circular breathe. I recommend a Digeridrew didg. They're made out of PVC, and are nearly indestructible. They make a good travel instrument, and aren't expensive...

I didn't see one either. I bought mine from him in person. You could contact him and see what he has to say. I think I payed about $50 for mine. He'll do one in any key you like. I picked D so it would go well with Irish music.

Either watch the whole thing or take it to 3:20 when he plays bass drum, guitar, and didge all at the same time.

he wants to use his mouth to play with long, hard wood?

I've wanted to learn for years..... Finally at a point in life where I may actually be able to.

The didgeridoo sucks. It plays like one note. We have instruments that can play all the notes.

Negative. Drones make the best music. All the notes? Even a sitar doesn't play all of them, and that has more than the western scale ;^)

I meant all the notes in the octave. Obviously no instrument can play all the octaves.

But I hate most "traditional" music. Music has come so far since people started banging rocks together, yet traditional musicians want to whack a stick on a sheepskin and go "look at me, I'm Yo-Yo Ma!"

BTW, sitars make every song they're in worse.

There's an infinite amount of notes in an octave. Western notation only uses 12 ;^) Also, I'm not sure what bodhran players have to do with this discussion, and how percussion relates to cello :^D

Sitar makes everything better :^P

I can run down and ask the Aborginal man panhandling at the Opera House and ask him, then report back to you.
