Sanshi shows us how in this video. Good luck with the practice, see how comfortable you can get with this technique as we have 2 more follow up videos coming soon.
20 to choose from, each one completely unique and boy do they play and sound awesome!
Tynon has been busy making some fine didgeridoos for us and has completed his new range. Even better news… these didges are in a much lower price range than his normal instruments.
What is so special about these didges is the completely natural external finish. You can truly see the unique characters of each tree. Many still have the bark on them!

When playing a didgeridoo it is inevitable that a fair amount of moisture (dribble) is going to get on the inside. Most brass wind instruments have a “spit valve” to deal with this. With the didgeridoo, this valve is the end/bottom. If you play for long enough, you may see some dribble come out the end – don’t panic, this is normal .
Clean-cut and stylish, this T-Shirt captures the true essense of the Didgeridoo Breath brand.
The Didgeridoo Breath logo has several meanings. Firstly it is the aboriginal symbol for meeting place. This is the core of our business. A place to meet, unite, chat, share, laugh, enjoy and most of all… play didgeridoo! Secondly, imagine looking through a didgeridoo… an interesting and organic shape, each instrument totally unique. Down the end you see a circle of light peeping through. Many people see other meanings in the logo, feel free to get creative
This T-Shirt is made from 100% cotton and printed right here in Australia.
Sheet music for didgeridoo? Not something that exists yet as a standard amongst didgeridoo players. This is probably due to the didgeridoo being so unique to the individual. In fact it’s one of the beautiful things about the instrument, there are no rules.
Having said that, it is possible to write down your didgeridoo sounds and rhythms and it comes in really handy when trying to communicate your favorite rhythms to others. We used this technique in the Playing the Didgeridoo instructional CD series to write all of the rhythms taught, in the booklets provided.
Here is a guide to get you going. Feel free to add your own flavor to it or customize it to your needs. Read the rest of this entry »
