En Argentina también existe un grupo de gente interesada en la ejecución de este noble y antiguo instrumento. Trabajamos en Salud, sobre todo en el tema de adicciones y Hiv, utilizamos estos sonidos en nuestra práctica terapéutica. Es una forma de unir culturas ancestrales originarias, como la Americana y la Australiana.

Mark D of Em-Dee Productions
Contemporary didge player, fast high energy rhythms and sounds. I have been playing didge for 10 years and have won numerous didge competitions in australia. I released cd 'Raw Didge' in 2001 which is currently distributed worldwide, available in selected shops and by request. Currently have hooked up with the band Katamaran which includes the ex base player from the John Butler Trio, pumping out new beats to be released on cd in May 2002. Contact me for info on styles, lessons, techniques, or a chat!

Like the description of the arrow striking the heart when falling in love, the didgeridoo sound has struck my heart deeply, while in Alice Springs in 1995.
Though not considering myself a talented or good player, I love the sound, the natural feeling of this amazing simple instrument and its penetrating and vibrating droning. Like other Australian Aboriginal art, contempory or traditional, it is so unique, as the land it all originates from.
Thank you, Australian Aboriginal descendants for carrying on your struggle of maintaining your unique identity, despite all the many years of suppression or cultural and physical genocide.
You were not allowed to speak your own languages, to discuss your culture, your parents to teach you the secrets they had been taught by their parents, while you were forced to live in missions and reserves, were forced to work, had to ask permission to visit relatives, permission to marry, permission to go to the next town - from the overseer, or 'Aboriginal Protection Officer', european descend of course.
Your children born, paler skin than yours - a result of the rape, seduction, your craving for recognition, or for food, or alcohol, or drugs - were taken away from you, to be educated in the 'new' ways. Your cries were echoing through the lonely nights, in the vast interiors of this continent, like a dingos howlings, not heard in the cities where the decisions to your 'well beings' were made.
It is 1999, and you still struggle to be treated equal, to have the same opportunities, for work, for education, medical treatment, self development.
Your art and international craving for a nature based culture and understanding of life in general will help you getting the respect and status you should have had since 200 years ago, yet still are denied in 'your own land' in 1999.
Still change is happening, slowly, yet day by day. This internet site, showing the importance of your, the Australian Aboriginal people, instrument the didgeridoo, or didjeridu, all over the world, loved by so many different background, cultured and race people, united by it - your unique art of painting just now following in its footsteps - 25% off all art now sold in Australia is Aboriginal origin - the new future has already begun. I will play my small part in to ensure that others around me wake up to it. Making people think, expand their horizons, talk about what did happen in Australia to Aboriginal people and what is still happening to them now in 1999.
How rough the police treats them in many towns, how police cars stop and 'question' an Aboriginal person found walking on the street, how degrading many 'white' Aussies speak about them, how hard life was and still is, without having been with ones mother and father while growing up in a reserve, each family member transported to a different reserve or mission, far away from each other.
And now the Native Title Law says, that you must have had continuous 'physical' connection with the land you may want to claim your Traditional Native Title over? They are clever, politicians, aren't they. First you are moved away, far away, then you have to prove, that you really have all the time been at home, before you can be considered having a right to where you were born and were your parents and fore-parents lived for aeons.
Tourists coming from far away, from overseas, they come to this country, this land - the biggest remaining part of Gondwana land - to take with them not only the experience of its unique nature, fauna, beaches and oceans, but also the amazing cultural experience from contact and talkings to Aboriginal people. They will ask 'where can I speak to an Aboriginal person, where can I look at, buy original Aboriginal art from Aboriginal artists, where can I hear an Aboriginal player droning his didgerdoo'. They are not interested in watching a cricket or rugby game, visiting pubs or breathing Sydney air.

ANY PERSON READING THIS, FROM OVERSEAS, WHEN YOU ONE DAY COME TO AUSTRALIA, REMEMBER TO ASK THESE QUESTIONS. GO TO LIBRARIES, READ ABOUT THE ABORIGINAL HISTORY (TRY THE AUTHOR 'BRUCE ELDERS' FOR A START), TALK ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINE - WHERE EVER YOU GO!

My little poem for you, the made homeless Aboriginal people of Australia:

'Passing through bushland during travels, the burned dark bark of the tree trunks reminds me, that I am missing to see the dark silhouette of the Aborigine, who should be standing inbetween, as they have for thousands of years. The place is empty now, some cattle seeking shade under some trees in the far distance. The wallaby scratching its skin, while trying to creep through the lowest of the 4 barbed wires, now carving up the huge land into small parcels. Gates are locked. A sign warns to stay away.'

mark hoffmann
Mark Hoffmann alias 'Em Dee' is one of Australia's finest contemporary didgeridoo artists of ten years, based in Darwin, Northern Australia. He has a good reputation with traditional didgeridoo players, including Darryl Dikarrna Brown, the protege of respected elder David Blanasi. His many influences come from music styles such as drum and bass, high energy dance, tribal roots and reggae. From these Mark has developed a unique and individual style, using a variety of breathing techniques to create from the ambient to fast high energy rhythms. Mark is sponsored by www.didji.com.au one of Australia's leading makers of quality, concert pitch didgeridoo's. In 2001 Mark released his debut album 'Raw Didge' which demonstrates various rhythms, sounds and techniques and is distributed independently worldwide. In 2002 Mark recorded a second album as a member of the trio 'Katamaran', an original, vibrant mix of didge, drum and bass.He composes sounds and rhythms including digital effects on this album further defining his style. The band have since separated to pursue other interests In August 2002 Mark recorded the album 'Knot' which is once again an experimentation of didge with a jazz/metal drum kit available through Mark. Mark is currently recording his next album with didge and drums to be released at the end of 2002

Nathan Kaye
Nathan Kaye was exposed to the beauty and depth of Aboriginal culture from his childhood years when his mother married his stepfather, an aboriginal fellow named, Yabu Bilyana, from the Nunuckle & Kari tribes when he was 12 years old. Throughout his teenage years he would hang out on the beach of Coochiemudlo Island and other parts of South East Queensland with his best friend, who is a Nungar aboriginal and a fantastic didgeridoo player. Nathan started playing Yidaki/didjeridoo at age 17 when a Pintjantjarra tribesman gave him his first didgeridoo. He got circular breathing within ten days of starting. Since then he has toured as a musician in many parts of the world including UK, Europe and even China, where he performed to over 4,000 people per night. He has toured with bands such as the funk/reggae band Dreamseeds and live Techno/Breakbeat band, Noisefloor. Nathan^Òs solo performance will make you re-think the music and sounds one person is capable of producing at the same time. He can sing, play guitar, using complex funk rhythms and middle eastern scales and chords whilst, simultaneously playing (Yidaki) didgeridoo, stomp-box (a kick sounding drum) and effects peddles, not to mention the Darabuka & Djembe drums. When combined with the extra-ordinary talents of his band, which includes Dharma Bradridge on bass, Chinta on percussion (Djembe, Bagarabou, Djun Djun and ^ÓHang^Ô), Kim Moxham on Saxaphone, flute and harmonica, and special guest Sitar players & funk drummers, Nathan^Òs performance is an unquestionable tour-de-force. He has didgeridoos that correspond to the 7 chakras of the Indian healing system and has lead people through meditations and group ^Ódidge-massage therapy^Ô in healing workops in Australia and overseas.

For a wild, musical experience to match the adventure of disovering Australia's desert heartland, the 'Sounds of Starlight Theatre', Alice Springs can't be beaten. Andrew Langford, performs to audiences from USA, Britain, Germany, Holland and many other countries. His multi-media show, featuring percussion, keyboards and slides, takes the rapt audience on trails of sound through the landscapes and starry skies of this unique region. After each performance he gives a master-class and the audience can take part in a spontaneious jam session with the didgeridoos and drums.

I am a Aboriginal origionally from Cherbourg Aboriginal Community in South East Queensland and only learnt to blow the Didge since coming to Darwin 17 yrs ago. The Aboriginal Soldiers in Norforce have taught me differnet ways to find them and I taught meself to blow it. I am to happy to take annyone out into the aussie bush & show them how to make their own didge so to speak if ever you come to Darwin in the N.T. - Am also a good tour guide and will show ya some good spots.

I love the Didj. It's a wicked instrument. Much more interesting than playing Brass.... I've been playing for only 3 years. Much to learn and perfect... Go The Doo......

Raymond C Mow
I have been playing the Didgeridoo for approx 10.5 years to date as a perpetual student. I currently teach the instrument professionally and have been for 5.5 years. I am the convenor of the Australian Didgeridoo Festival known as Didgfest ' 95,' 96,'97 and soon to be Didgfest '98 on October 10 and 11 this year. I teach in the State of Victoria and reside in the Outer Eastern area known as the Dandenong Ranges ( The Hills) I pride myself on consistently in an information seek mode relating to the Didgeridoo both Past Present and Future,and I seek to obtain a crossover of information from other Didgeridoo resource gatherers. I am always available to discuss the issues of the day relating to this marvellous implement of history. I am a chronic bronchial asthmatic,and consider the Didgeridoo to have been one of the most evident self prescribed medicines obtained to date.I urge others to contact me.

I got my first didge last year for Christmas and I've already bought another. I took a couple of lessons from Michael Connolly, purchased one of his and I'm hooked! Michael is a great teacher and for anyone Brisbane, go and see him. (http://www.infotravel.net/kullilla/index.htm)

Almar Postma
I am originally from the Netherlands but have been living in Melbourne, Australia for the past 2 years. I like having a jam with my friends who play the guitar/violin once in a while. The thing I enjoy the most is trying out strange didjes. Two mouthpieces, giant end bells, really short didjes or long didges, etc....

Peter Sanderson
I built my own didj from a piece of yellow box with the bark still on it with the help of my friend Grant on the Gold Coast in Qld Australia. It's the loudest beast you'll ever hear with a mean kick back when you stop the drone. It also has some freaky animal markings naturally appearing in the timber that look like two salt water crocks. I grew up on a piece of poly pipe and learned to suck and blow at he same time, which is why the girls really love me. The sound is awesome, especially in a bathroom.

Frank Thill
I am a Didgeridu maker living in Nhulunbuy, North East Arnhemland, following the "old ways" of playing the Didjeridu .I am not calling myself a player but a serious student, as the traditional style from this region requires many years of training to get a good understanding of it. I am sharing a workshop with Djalu' Gurruwiwi, a famous yirdaki maker and producing my own range of instruments has developed into more than a passion for me. You can find a selection of my instruments made by me and more info on my backgroung at http://yirdaki.com.au If you do have additional questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers, Frank Thill

David Watts
I am a Wongaibion Aboriginal man and I live in Sydney. I work for myself as an Aboriginal Consultant to Archaeologists and also do work within my own community. My people are from the Byrock area way out west New South Wales ( the flat country). Alot of my community came to Sydney early on due to the rapid expansion of the colonists. I was the Senior Sites Officer for the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council in Sydney, but i now work for myself.
I am still very political and am in the struggle for justice for my people and am very into my culture. Many years ago it was shamefull for people to me a Aboriginal due to the harsh treatment the whites gave to the oprest....dont get me wrong by this i am not a black arm band man...just stating facts. I have been over seas and gave lecture talks about my people in other countries and still give lectures in the UNIs here. I have been playing the Yidaki for some time now and find it helps me loose myself in a state of bliss. If you wish to talk or anything then write me back. In The Struggle.

It´s already four years I´ve playing didge. I have some originals and some copies but I play at best with a banboo yidaki I made myself from wood that grows here in the basque country. My friend painted it with a dream about a bear I had once that turned to be an actual experience my grandfather´s father had in the mountains as he was a shepherd (he almost died in the fight with the bear ^×says my mother^×).

I've been playing didgeridoo for more than a year. I started in London and got the circular breathing in Malaysia where I made a didg from a bamboo stick.

David Nouwen
Hoi, Zowat 5 jaar ben ik nu al bezig met didgeridoo spelen. Ik woon in Antwerpen. Graag zou ik: spelen met andere muzikanten (niet noodzakelijk didg-spelers) - tips ontvangen - tips geven - gratis didgeridoos ontvangen :) - met mijn didg op een grrot podium voor heel veel volk spelen - nog beter leren spelen. 1 tip voor jou: voor je begint te spelen maak je je hoofd volledig leeg, je begint te spelen en je concentreert je volledig op het geluid dat je maakt, de muziek die uit je didg komt en je vergeet volledig de techniek die zich in je ademhalingsapparaat afspeelt. Je zal zeker nieuwe deunen ontdekken.

Namaste and positive vibrations. I just started playing yidaki this week, march 1998, but have been interested, reading about aboriginal cultures around the world for the last five years. Would like to learn more and experience more about the use of yidaki and tibetan sound bowls for healing and trance work. i live in banff, alberta in the rocky mountains working as a daycare worker, teacher, reiki healer, and actor in the ecologically based theatre group "precipice theatre" Meeting new and old friends, jamming, and creating an atmosphere of self-education and empowerment through community is a big part of my growth as a sentient being. I am also a Vipassana meditator and enjoy group sittings with those established in the Vipassana technique.

Jeff Ehrmann
I've just been looking through the player list hoping to find other people who play the didji. I have been playing now for about 2 months and have been playing quite well. I would be very interested in getting together with other players of all levels and learning new ways of improving my technique, and maybe trying out some real nice sounding didji's. I have 2 didji's now but they are made out of PVC pipe and don't quite have that certain sound I'm looking for. I hope someone out there will contact me so we can meet and maybe jam a bit.

norman formosa
HI, MY NAME IS NORMAN FORMOSA AND I LIVE IN ONTARIO. I BOUGHT MY FIRST DIDJ IN AUSTRALIA IN THE FALL OF 2000. I BOUGHT IT IN AN AREA IN SYDNEY CALLED THE ROCKS. THE NAME OF THE SHOP I BOUGHT IT FROM IS CALLED "DIDJ BEAT". SINCE THEN, I NOT ONLY GOT INTO BETTERING MYSELF IN BEING A STUDENT OF THE YIDAKI,BUT I ALSO GOT INTO THE ABORIGINAL CULTURE OF THE YOLNGU. I STARTED OUT WITH A BLOOD WOOD DIDJ BUT LATER ON IN THE YEAR 2001, I STARTED MAKING MY OWN YIDAKIS AND THEY SOUND AWESOME. I HAVE MADE SIX SO FAR AND I ALSO DECORATED THEM MYSELF;I'M SO PROUD OF THEM. I HAVE TEN MORE LOGS DRYING OUT FOR NEXT SPRING. THE YIDAKI IS NOW A PART OF ME THAT GOES DOWN INTO MY SOUL, AND I FEEL A STRONGER BOND WITH THE EARTH AND MY EXISTANCE. MY LATEST PURCHASE WAS SENT TO ME FROM YIRRAKALA, THE DIDJ IS MADE BY DJALU GURRUWIWI,A MASTER DIDJ MAKER.IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO SOME EXCELLENT DIDJ MUSIC, BUY "RESONANCE", AN AWESOME CD.

Rodolphe Gagnon
Montreal, Quebec. Been playing didj since a trip to Australia in 1993. I love to share my passion for this instrument, jamming or doing concerts (shows) & presentations in schools, hospitals etc. Studies in anthropology and ethnomusicology (B.Sc. anthropology) gave a depth to my passion. Je parle francais aussi!!!

David Goode
I am 31 years old and have been playing for the last five years. I have put out one CD which features a blend of Didje music with ambient tribal sound pieces recorded by Paul Morin (Artist and Musician). I have taught many people to play the didje and continue to give private lessons. I have been playing and teaching at the last three Hillside Festivals in Guelph Ontario. As a result, I have recenetly be working with traditional bluegrass musicians to combine the sounds of the Didje with fiddle, banjo and country guitar. I am of mixed heriage, both first nations and english and live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. My interests include the use of Didjeridoo in traditional ceremonies and the spread of the didje as a meditative/healing tool. A gift from our Australian Brothers and Sisters.

Gerry Gordon
What can I say, it's an amazing instrument. I've been playing for about four years now, own thirteen didj's including a Djalu "F"!! Perform locally at different events and functions.

Jeff Kustiak
I'm from Winnipeg, MB. and been playin' for only a couple years and have been teaching on a regular bases. I spent my 2004 summer in Australia learning the Tradtional Yidaki by spending time with an aboriginal family. They were alot of fun, friendly and welcoming towards me. I spent alot of time learning the instrument with them for they taught me a great deal about the didge not only playing but for what it means to them. The expieance was overwhelming, it was more then what anybody could expect. As I traveled throughout Australia I meet some AMAZING players that I learnt from that would blow your mind! I recommend anybody to do the same, you won't regrete it!!

Frdric Lapointe
I Think I always had didjeridoo in my spirit and my blood... I met a really good teacher (Pierre Chartier) who show me the way to express yourself with this incredible instrument! What a feeling!
I'm actor and juggler and project to make discover the sound of didj in my show, writen for the children.
Want to share anything about this big passion? I'm living in Montral, Qubec... Et je parle aussi franais!!

Hello all, I'm in Mississauga Ontario, and I've have been playing for a little over a year now. My parents brought me back my first Didj from the land of Oz, and ever since then I've been hooked. I make my own now, and haven't had a chance to play along with anyone yet, and would enjoy the chance to play along with a small group of people, with the same interest. If anyone knows of a place that Didj players frequent in my area, or would like the chance to get together, drop me a line and let me know where so I may join in on the drone.

Bruce McTurk
Hello. I am CANADIAN (sorry wrong web-site) as a neophyte player I have "hit the wall" in that I don't seem to be improving.I would like to connect with other players in the area (Barrie Ont.)hopefully to learn and enjoy this instument more.Bruce.(P.S. bought my didjeridu 1 yr.ago from Mat Gowan also listed on this page).

Jessy Malone
I'm an Environmental Science student in Truro, Nova Scotia. I've been learning didj since I received my first one in September 2000. While I have improved drastically, circular breathing still escapes me. I have recently made a PVC didj which actually sounds REALLY good! I've just started meeting other people in the area who own and play didjs. . .for a while I thought I was the only one!

Kenneth Mockler
Hola! Montréal,Québec ... I'm a new 27 year old didj player looking to branch out, jam and exchange techniques with other local players.

I am 30 years old and have been playing the didj for almost six year s now. I am originally from Toronto but now live in Prince George, British Columbia. I enjoy making the didjes that I play, but I am saving for a real authentic didj. I also collect any and all the didj music I can get my hands on either contemporary or traditional. Pls feel free to contact me if you live close by (so we can play together) or on any cds that I should get or to find out what I have in my collection.

Paul Newton
I live in bridgewater, Nova Scotia and have been making and playing didges for about four years now. I started making them out of pvc pipe but now make them out of native trees such as yellow birch, iron wood or oak. some are just finished off naturaly and others are relief carved and painted in a northwest coast aboriginal art form. I do produce a small number for sale on commission. I love to play and share my passion for these wonderfull instruments with anyone who will listen.
Neil Parker
I've been playing ever since summer of 2003, when my son insisted that we purchase a Didgeridoo from an itinterant player and craftsman (whose card, unfortunately, has since been misplaced) at English Bay, Vancouver, BC. Son has moved on to the guitar, but I remain quite happy to play once or twice a day, often while meditating, and am constantly experimenting with new techniques. I made a PVC didge for use in marches, but the wooden one is much preferable.

Rob Pelletier
I got my first didge at the same time that I quit smoking and I give it full credit for my success. I've been playing for almost five years and I havnt smoked since. Didgeridoo has brought nothing but good things in to my life so I do my best to share my knowledge with anyone wanting to learn by leading workshops and giving private lessons.

Mark Piton
I've been playing now since 1991 after learning in Sydney. Fun place, great people. Since then I've moved about a bit but my didjs are right here beside me. See ya when I see ya...

Randy Raine-Reusch
In November of 2003 I performed the North American Premeiere of Philip Bracanin's Dance Gundah, a concerto for didjeridu with the Victoria Sumphony Orchestra, a very interesting and beautiful piece. As didj is just one of the 700 instruments in my collection, I am not a full time didj player, but it still is part of my repertoire with my world music ensemble ASZA. As a solo artist or with ASZA and with other ensembles I have performed didj in South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Spain, Vietnam, Thailand, India, and across North America. I have recorded on didj with ASZA, Aerosmith, Pauline Oliveros, and Stuart Dempster, and a host of others in multiple genres including, Classical, New Music, Free Jazz, Country and Western, Hard Rock, Punk, World Groove and lots more. I have been playing ABS didjs on tour as they are easy to carry, aren't affected by weather, and I can tune them with ease. In Australia last year while on tour I bought a beautiful new didj, that I love, but it is the first wooden didj I have bought in years. Outside of the top didjs, I can make my ABS sound better than most wood didjs out there. PLUS, I can make them look anyway I want. I occasionally teach, but now only students who are wanting to improv their chops. I usually play in a much more traditional manner, but can do a funk/rock style, but it is not my preference. When I initially learned in Australia, I was taught in a more traditional style and I still prefer it. Thats it for now, will update you again when I have a few more things to add!

Ric
Been doing the didj thing for about six years now. Living in East Alberta... Lloydminster. I've made about 25 different didges by now. Some out of ABS, PVC, local wood- Apple, oak, diamond willow (THATs a tough one - due to the 'diamond holes'), birch, maple, poplar. Although influenced by Aboriginal designs... I paint a sunset shadow like scene on all of my didges. And everyone has a panther (my animality) and a lost love's animality the crow. But on to the real thing... I've come up with a didge learning block. I can do much... but I want to learn much more. So looking for other didge players in my area. I've played on stage a few times. Sounds good on a mic while others play. I learned that you don't have to be an overly talented didge player to win the hearts of an adience- even in the shadow of Awsome musicians... The didge holds it's own magic. Even been pulled over by the police... riding the old harley with a didge strapped to my back. Raises a few concerns no doubt. Nothing like biking to the mountains and play the didge by the campfire light. Brings a lot of curious people to visit. I played the didge out on the back field one sunny afternoon... and discovered a young fox not far away - watching. She/he seemed soothed by it. Got up and left when I stopped playing. Life is good when you drone the magic of the earth. So if you go online now and again, I hope to track some of you down. I KNOW you are out there.

i love didj ill play it forever or untill i die which ever comes first

Hello Everyone, I am the Granny of this list! 50 yrs old. Started playing the didge after my son brought back 3 from Australia and coached me on the basics. Although it took quite a while to learn the circular breathing(hey it takes a little longer to teach an "old dog" new tricks) I finally have it. The didge has opened up a whole new world for me, spiritually as well as culturally as well as helping us start a didge circle here in Calgary Alberta. It is a fantastic instrument that opens up the heart, soul and eyes to a new world. People love the sound,they all seem to recognize it from somewhere. Namaste colleen

For all you teachers out there, use a golf club tube to make create a didjeridu with your students. Black construction paper, painted with the dreamtime art, and taped to the tube is a very good, funtional didjeridu.

I Play didjeridu, and I'm searching how didjeridu could bring something to "modern" music-therapy. I am a "psychomotricien", this is a french profession who works to heal the psychological functions with corporal techniques of relaxations (for exemples). I'm very interested to meet other players of didj' for a jam, or for exchanges about therapeutics theory or experimentation. I would like to have contacts in australia, cause I'll probably go there in a year or a couple. My passion is Aboriginal culture.

C'est un lieu de formation pour les débutants. Des concerts sont organisés de temps à autre accessoirement. De toute façon je vais contacter ceux qui ont laissé leur coord ici. I've been a didjeridu player for may be 2 years now, but I would not care too much about the lengh of time. real question is how many hours a day. Well... Not enough. I really like the didj for its rythm potential. I'am a diphonic singer at the start, 12 years now, and singing does not allow such powerful rythms. I'll be starting a diphonic singing association soon. I'm looking for partners mostly in the fields of electronic music and music writing. Let's make it all together a better world

But since 2002 I don´t find enough time or some quite minutes to play didge, because the Didgeridoo & Co Magazine is really a time eating job, but makes me happy. Maybe somebody here had read the one or other issue of the magazine. Would be interest what they think about it. Anyways, let us didge around the world. Toot toot Sven

I'm interested in all things connected with getting states like trance, lucid dreaming and OOBEs. The didge should be a good symbol and tool for this! I would like to play sometime in the future with someone playing Darbuka to get a real trancy groove (my girl-friend is playing djembe).

I´m playing since 1992. Try to combine the didge with other old instruments like drums (djembe), Berimbao, danmoi. I´m also a storyteller. Combine the didge with dreamtime stories. I also organised (together with other people) the DidgeDays Stuttgart festival for the last years. I´m always interested in finding dreamtime stories about the didgeridoo or yidaki.

I was taught the basics of yidaki in 1996 by Henk & Freek whose surname I can't remember. It was sort of an exchange for my throatsinging techniques. I practised on the vacuum- cleaner pipe and worked my way up to PVC with beeswax... Last year I finally made it to Ozzie, I met great players and baught a beautiful instrument from Malla, Dale Oliver, in Cairns. Somebody here must be able to help me find an email address of him or his daughter? I'd love to thank them once more and ask how their business is going. OK, keep playing everyone, Bye!

Ron Berkhout
I play the didge now for about 8 years. I starded teaching 4 years ago. My didge was bought for me 200 km above 'Alice springs' by a traveling white guy who visits all the local tribes. It's a very special Didge, the sound, the feeling, the looks. It was brought to Belgium by a good friend from a shop there "Terra Australis" in Antwerpen. Part of my didge workshop money goos to a Aboriginal foundation. Go and take a look at a my Aussie friends at my homepage link list. Rotterdam 13-11-2001

I learned about didgeridoo from the music of Jamiroquai where George Wallace played the didj. First I made a didj from cartons that are used in rolls of fabric. Later I started making them from pvc. In 1997 a friend lend my his authentic didgeridoo and then I really started to play. He recently asked if he could have it back "snif" so i'm looking for a replacement. The sound of a pvc or cheap didgedridoo just isn't the same. If you ever come to Groningen you might find me playing in the park. Thanks Martijn, for lending me your didj for such a long time!!!

Erwin van Maanen
Deventer, Netherlands. Yurlungurr Didgeridoo School. I have been playing and studying the didgeridoo since the early ninetees, after being fascinated by the instrument as an emigrant in Australia in 1985. I use the 'didge' in activities aimed at environmental education, public awareness and education, with great results, especially involving children, enchanting them with Dreamtime stories. Currently I am working on biodiversity conservation in Georgia (former Soviet Union), where I am also teaching counterparts to play the didgeridoo, with the hope that the music will be relayed back east toward Australia. A talented Georgian, Irakli Goradze will be instrumental in promoting the didge among his fellow countrymen. Previously it was unknown in Georgia. In exchange I am getting lessons in Doudouki, a beautifully dramatic sounding flute.

...in May this year (1999) I will be back to live in the Netherlands on the following address: Molenstraat 79, 7411 NR Deventer, tel: +31-570-614176, e-mail: annemiek.rijsdijk@hetnet.nl
From this time I will also resume my ''Yurlungurr Didgeridoo School'' activities (workshops, private lessons, didge import and dreamtime story telling for children), adding new dimensions to the objective and ethno-musically oriented lessons from research material I have collated over the years. In October I will visit aboriginal communities in Northern Australia to share didgeridoo-playing experiences, and hope to learn first hand about their perception and use of the instrument.

Roland Mathijssen
Born on August 26, 1962, I play the didge since september 1997. I live in Son, near Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Ian Hakker and Jan Terpstra taught me how to play.

I love to play yadaki, it´s a lot of fun, and serious at the same time. I´ve been in Australia, the land down under, this past summer,2000, and had the great fortune to find in Sidney, Alan Dargin, a very fast player, he gave me some lessons on, what is the meaning of the sounds we make in the yadaky, the sounds of the billabong,water and several birds, the red outback, it was super. Thank you very much, Alan.For the contribution you give to this world, wisdom has no price, see ya mate. I give my heart to all those people who think about the yadaky has a way to reach the stars, a way to breeth the rhythm of life, through a simple hollow log. Ao infinito e mais além !

Eduardo Trigo
Eight years ago i came across with a record that completely change my life...Stephen Kent´s 'Landing'.Since then the didge became a part of my dreamtime life. The following months i was on a quest to find out all about the peculiar sound and instrument (it would had been easier if i had access to the internet world but that was nearly impossible to me and to many people here in Portugal back in those days). I recall that my first 'stick', as i call it, was hard paper tube and took me nearly a year to master the circular breathing...since i had no idea how it worked i would listen and listen to that particular record and tried to replicated the sound, and i was amased how it could be continous without any breaks. One day it worked and put me in a trance state. So i have been playing for nearly seven years and my collection of 'sticks' has increased quite a bit. I am still learning 'till this day. Thanks to the inspiring peolpe of Arnhemland, North-Australia that gave me this soul reaching vehicle without ask anything in return. Thanks also to all those inspiring artists and masters of the Yadaki that i run across all over these years, and whose records are still intriging and learnfull, thanks Stephen Kent (and his projects: Lights in a Fat City, Trance Mission, Spacetime Continuum,Halcyon Days Beasts of Paradise), Alan Dargin, David Hudson, Yothu Yindi, Richard Walley, and so on. Thank you all Yardaki Makers such as Djalu' Gurruwiwi and Frank Thill that allow the inspiring artists to express themselves and let us reach the peace of mind (I still don´t have a piece of the art you both make but i intend to)

Bruce Copley
I live in Cape Town South Africa and have been playing the didge since 1997. It is a passion of mine and I am striving with deep respect to evolve this ancient monotone drone instrument into a multi-dimensional harmonic wind instrument. Have developed a technique which enables me to play 2 didges simultaneously(dual didge)and play virtually any tune using a 4 octave range. I have great fun and raise a few eyebrows when I run, swim, ride, drive, and sauna while playing the didge. For me the didge is the ancient sound of the future and I hope to be able to play it on my death bed someday

Kevin Fish
I have been playing didj for the last seven years. I play in a band called Izandi Earth Rhythms. Didj in South Africa is still very underground, although it is popular, there are not too many people who play well and even fewer who understand how Didj can be used in sound therapy - Something that I am interested in exploring. I would therefor like to get into contact with people who are interested in the didj, both playing but also how it can be used in sound healing. If there are any people out there who would like some pointers/advice on playing, then please get hold of me.

I started out to grow eucalyptus and bamboo as part of a replanting project in Kashmir/Pakistan. But after a while being a mad spiritual scientist and having been told all sorts of weird things about didgeridoos I just had to blow down the thing...and I got hooked.That was four years ago and I am healthier and the sound vibrations have done something inexplicable. I want everyone to try and play this instrument. So I've created an aid to the didg that will help those that want to play but find it hard to get started. I also want to hear from other like minded folks who believe the didg is too important to become a fashion item.....with respect to the people of the "song lines", I call my didg the easy play didg...it's the didg player not the didg!! I cant stop laughing and smiling..so lets play didg... with smiles....Rafiq.

Tariq Aslam
UNITED KINGDOM, Scotland, Edinburgh. Been playing for a year. My didge is made from eucalyptus mineata (whooly-butt), Barry Groves is the artist and the didge is from Katherine N.T. An additional tip, I have two boab wood didgeridoo's aswell. One is a short one to make it longer I added a parcel tube to the end of it. As I play I can move the tube up and down therefore raising and lowering the tone and base of the didgeridoo.

I understand that the spirt of the earth speaks through my didj. I travel trading and selling (when I have to) ABS didgeridoo's I and my friends twist over an open fire. In the last year of my two years of playing I have developed the ability to throat sing (a la Tuva) and play the didj at the same time. As far as I know, no one else in the USA can play like me, and I'm just getting started. Email me and I'll send you a CD.

Atmosfire is a live trance band which dont use computers or seqencers,and have suppoted bands like the ORB+EATSTATIC. IF ANYONE LIKES THE SOUND OF ANY OF THIS MUSIC FEEL FREE TO MAKE CONTACT!

Barry Earsman
Been playing intensively for a few months -- before then it was just the occasional blart when one crossed my path, but it didn't seize me until quite recently. The didj has blown me into a complex world of aural eddies and harmonics, a nine-dimensional spectrum of sound and rythmn. It's absolutely fascinating! Fun to have something I can paint, stratch, scribble on as well.

Hi I'm Chris a 32 yr old, married professional Tuba player who fell in love with the didg some years ago when I heard Outback, bought a few cd's the found 'Dr Didg' and love it all, such a change from my day job, such energy! (Didg playing seemingly good for my tuba embouchure, so it seems!!) Have three didgs now, first one from a carboot sale in Esher of all things, second from the Rolf Harris-ish get together up by Kings Cross, I think in 2001? Great night out (a suprise evening out from my wife, bless her). The third given to me this last week by my brother who's just come back from OZ via Thailand and all that. He carried it for 2 weeks backpacking, having to chain it and his pack sometimes to his bed. Authentic one with an aboriginal kangaroo on it and some bark left on the bottom. Price? To me a billion dollars,of course. Well done Bruv!! Would love to hear about concert/gigs/jamsessions/meeting places and just generally a chat and blow over coffee, feel free to contact me on the e-mail.

Hi I just want to tell everyone that the didge has changed my life.Since I learnt to play I have played in schools and got lots of new recruits and I have played in some strange places too such as out in Africa at the top of Mt Kilimanjaro and out in Nepal at Base camp Everest and I think every one should do something a little different.Keep on Didgin

Hello to all you fellow didje players... WOW, just thinking back to the first time that i heard didje... it was in Commercial Road, Portsmouth, about 1993. I remember hearing some low droning sound weaving its way through the hustle and bustle of the buisy Saturday afternoon. Sitting (i think against a tree) a busker whome after about an HOUR stopped... IT WAS ONLY AT THIS POINT THAT I/WE REALISED THAT HE'D HYPNOTIZED ME!!! Wow, some chap (Chris Troth) had just controlled my entire dreaming and heartbeat. After the quick introduction to getting the drone and circular breething i remember practicing hard for 2 days on mums hoover tube until i'd got it... SORRY CHRIS FOR TURNING UP AT 10pm ON YOUR DOORSTEP THAT NIGHT, but realy mate u'd triggered a thirst... I NEEDED TO HEAR IT PLAYED AGAIN, JUST 1 FIX... THE COOKABURA PLEASE... Do'nt think that i've ever practiced anything so intensly in this life!!! And WOWW i ow so much to the sticks, for the most amazing and beutiful people, places and times that they're constantly introducing.

Visited North East Arnhemland September 2000 to share in a didgeridu master class and learn more about the Aboriginal culture. Was very privilaged to meet David Hudson in Cairns, as we originally met over the internet after buying one of Davids didgeridu's. The internet has been a great way of meeting other didgeridu players and learning different techniques.

Mike Spencer-Harty
Hi i've been playing since 1993ish. Originally began learning in workshops by Derek Furlong and the Didj up north events. Then through my growing interest in the didjeridu I became more interested in Aboriginal culture and attended the Garma festival in Arnhemland 2000. It was a superb event and one of the most memorable of my life. Great people and a superb atmosphere. I've met and enjoyed the company of several people on the list both in Garma, later in Darwin and back in the UK. Exceptional players like Djalu and members of his family, David Hudson, Steven Kent and Alan Dargin, Derek Furlong and Peter Lister will always remain an important influence.

Simon Wickham-Smith
I've been involved with experimental, improvised music for 10 years and, with my friend Richard Youngs, have released a number of records on various international labels. As far as didj is concerned, I've been playing seriously (!) for about 2 months now and am discovering some very attractive discords and, I suppose, wonderfully un-traditional noises!

I just started making didges out of agave. I love everything about them, especially playing them. AZ has so many musicians and so many agaves out in the desert that one would be stupid not to have a didjeridu.

Originally from Guernsey (U.K.), I'm pretty much self taught over the years, will a little extra tuition from Alice Springs.

Ray Miller
I am no expert, but I love the sound of the didj. I first heard the didj on a jazz album when I was working at a rdaio station in Destin, Florida, and knew that I wanted one bad! I don't play any other instruments, so the learning process is all self-taught. I met a man named Preston Scott in Heber Springs, Arkansas who makes and sells didj's and flutes, and he and his wife Deborah Martin travel around the globe playing and selling instruments and educating people about their designs and songs. They have several cds for sale. That is where I got my first didj and am ready to purchase another soon! I play for the spiritual awakening and relaxation that the didj provides me.

Hi, just picked up my first Yidaki, know the sound well, time to make it myself...See 'ya...

Gordon Ambrosino
The didj has changed my life in so many ways. I'm very excited to hear what all you guys have to say about how it has affected you. peace!
Forgot to mention...I work with chimpanzees and have been playing the didj for them. I have found that not only do they have a very curious reaction to the sound and vibration, but the didj really seems to strike a chord with them. That is to say that wether frightened, aggressive or accepting to the insturment, they all have a very candid reaction to it. I find this very interesting, as I believe the didj strikes a deep chord within us all, apes provide an excellant example of how we are all affected by this insturment at a deeper level. i will post my findings and opinions as the develop.

Tom Annese
Been playing for 5 or 6 years and was wondering if there are any gatherings out there. Would be interested in any natural formations that anyone knows of that produce good acoustics.

Hi all, I've been playing and making didges for a couple of years now. I've made several PVC sticks in different keys and just picked up a magnificent bloodwood didge at the 2002 Joshua Tree Didgefest. I also make drums from time to time out of various found materials. I've one from half a wine barrell which is large enough for several people at once. I'd love to get together with people in my area for some jamming. I'm in San Marcos, North San Diego County, California, U.S.A. Didges and drums on the beach at sunset can be a very fun thing... Drop a line.

Kevin Frey
An Improvising Horn Player and Instructor of Music at San Jose City College, I have played the didjeridu for 2 years (a third year getting the breathing coordinated)and improvise frequently. I find it extremely useful for building and maintaining breath support for my Horn performance as well as establishing a hei ghtened rhythmic sensibility. I play a modular PVC (schedule 40) didjeridu connecting 1 foot and 2 foot lengths together. My wife (Jimmyle Listenbee, Instructor of Dance at SJCC) run The Leda/Swan Proje ct -- scored improvisations for dancers and musicians.

I am a good beginner didge player (can circular breathe do vocals and vowels, etc.) I have recently moved to Union City from Indiana and am hoping that there are more didge players here.

Andrew Gibbs
I play a didjeridu. I think I really discovered I had a problem when I was on a two day trip from home and realized I had left my didj behind. I needed a drone fix so badly that I found a local hardware store and made an emergency didj out of PVC and bee wax. I currently live in Santa Barbara California and my drones can be heard late at night from one of the many large concrete buildings on the University of California campus here.

Bill Hanes
I originally started playing the didgeridoo to spark the breeding in our australian finch aviaries. We raise Lady Gouldian finches, they are on the endangered species list and the only place in the world where they can be found is in...............the tip of northern territory of Australia. Believe it or not they seem to recognize and even react to the sound. I have been obsessed ever since the first drone. How about that for a "how did you get into it" story !!!!

Mike Harges
I play traditional as well as Aguavi and plastic.

Krishna Harrison-Munos
Didjeridu and percussion fuel my soul. My joy is to play the didjeridu with various world fusion groups in the US and Mexico. I also give "playshops" in the didjeridu around the Sacramento/Davis areas and Mexico. I also use the didj and percussion to help others center and recognize their creative, healing self.

Peter Hass
I live in Santa Ana, CA, USA. Very close to South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA. (world famous shopping mall) I am very interested in playing the didgeridoo but have not spent a lot of time practicing like I should. It is more of a hobby now. I am driven by the sound and feeling I get when I play. It is a great way to relax.

Nickolai A. Kobylk
I am new to playing the didj. I got introduced to the instrument from a friend who did a world music show in Greenville NC. I was amazed and entranced by a Stephen Kent album he had. For two years I would occasionally find information about the instrument and it's place in a rich and beautiful culture and then two weeks ago I decided I had to learn to play. Now I am the proud owner of a length of PVC pipe coated with candle wax, a sad reproduction to be sure, but a great way to learn. This is an awesome instrument, it's so addictive to play, perhaps because it's so soothing to the soul. Graduate student at UC Davis. Sacramento CA.

Edward Maesen
I have been playing the didge since about 1995. I use it mostly for meditative and ceremonial purposes and for healing sessions. I'm interested in dreamtime healing concerts. The most important aspect for me is the energetic effect of the sound, and not so much playing a certain rhythm or using all kinds of special techniques.

Doug Mahlstedt
Wow! What a great resource page. I've been playing didj for about 7yrs. only now am i truly getting into the circular breathing, but what a difference. (those trying to master it-- keep trying it's a MAJOR breakthrough) I have about 9 or so yidakis i've picked up in various locales. (most from oz) i'd love to play with others so drop me an email and we can get some music going. I live in Encinitas, CA 'bout 20 miles north of San Diego.

I got my first didg as a gift last Christmas from Ann, an Australian nurse who works with me at Highland Hospital in Oakland. I stared at it for six months and finally decided to give it a shot and learn a few weeks ago. Just finished my second lesson with master teacher John Villa of Berkeley . Some day I'll work up the courage to drop in and play with the conga drummers in the plaza outside Zellerbach Hall on the Cal campus. What an addicting instrument!

I live in Fort Collins Colorado. I go to CSU and I learned to play the didj in a previous life, or so I think. The first time I picked one up I drew quite a drone and was circular breathing within minutes. It filled a hole in my life, helped keep me in shape and is quite useful in meditation. I have played a couple of live gigs with a jazz band called Melange and few solo spots with friends and at local hang outs. Wanna jam, e-mail me at:

Today is 5/15/02 Wow....my first post here was over 3 years ago and so much has happened since. I can honestly say that the Didjeridu experience has been life altering. My wife now plays and we both play Djembe and other drums. I'm playing Marimba and a bit of keyboard/synth as well. We also dabble a bit in "throatsinging and/or overtone singing. We have a small band we call "LogRhythm" and we do local, mostly free performances a few times a year. Many have told us they would pay to see us......the ultimate compliment I guess.

Carla Kelly
At the age of 60, two years ago, I took up the didj. I am a luthier (guitar maker) and a drummer, so music is a way of life for me. Friends come to the house and we jam a lot, and the didj has become a much-played accompanyment to all of our music. Often, though, we will play just didgeridoos. I've made one from agave (Century plant) and any number of others from PVC. We use old vacuum-cleaner pipes to make our travel didjs--works well. Suffice to say that we're spreading the didj fever in our area as fast as we can. Frankly, now I'd rather play didj than guitar.

Mike Canerossi
Casselberry FL (near Orlando) Age: 40. I've been playing the didgeridoo for a few years now. I primarily play as a form of psychic therapy, but I've also been recording tracks accompanied by my wife on viola and myself on Hackbrett, E-Bowed Guitar, Wind Wand, and other sundry instruments. I have several hours of didg experiments that I plan to edit and release someday as Primal Dream. I also play bass in two rock oriented bands (Uncle Nasty & the Filthy Beasts / Zen Vortex) and jam regularly with other didg and percussion players.

Bruce Gosey
I live in Cape Coral Florida. 49 yrs. young. Most of my didj's are ones I made myself out of Florida Agave. I do have 1 euc. that Kerry Dickerson made (West Central, Aus.) I am also a percussionist. Work with a local group called "Rhythm Culture". My main interest in all music is how sound lends itself to healing and harmonizing. Tone Poems, didj meditations, these are some of my interests.

Andrew Hardy
I have recently found the didgeradoo, and have figured out circular breathing. I will share this knowledge to those who are interested. I am currently holding a workshop on circular breathing at Moondance in Georgia, Dragon Hills the 24 - 28 of May. Contact me at my E-mail address for info on circular breathing workshops. Costs are negotiable. Peace and Namaste )0(

Jeremy Lembo
I have been playing for a few years now and have tons of fun. I can often be found at various drum circles from Siesta Key to Nokomis Beach. I also play various art walks in Sarasota and Bradenton. About every other month I can also be found playing With Didgeri Darren in Ybor City in Tampa. I am always willing to play, almost anytime and anywhere and I custom make didges out of any material. I can make tuned bamboo ones even though the material is hard to get, PVC and other plastic is easy to play and make not to mention cheap. For those that would like something a little better, I can make didges out of any board wood, from the readily available pine and cedar to the exotics I can make it and tune it. I can also do some relief carving for a custom appearance. Examples of my work will soon be up on the site mentioned above.

Darren Liebman
Ever since I bought my mac-daddy eucalyptus didg in December 2000 in Cairns, Australia, I've aspired to become America's foremost didg player. Although I didn't learn how to circular breathe unitl December 2001, I started playing in public about four months after first droning. I regularly play at parties and drum circles and random public places -- sometimes solo and sometimes with friends. Feel free to drop me a note, and check out http://communities.msn.com/DidgeriDarrenRevolution/homepage The Didg Revolution is spreading! Join in or get out of the way! Didgelujah!

Eu moro na Florida, em Miami. Look forward to hearing from you guys! Michael

I have felt a close connection with the traditions of indigenous people for 40 years, and I've been playing since 1995. The didj seems to focus and amplify my connection with the earth and indiginous cultures, and has become very close to my heart. I play mostly as a meditation and for vibration or sound healing. Though I have picked up a few pointers from some great didj players, like David Blanasi, I am mostly self taught and playing very intuitively, more inspired by aboriginal culture rather than trying to play in an aboriginal style. I think it is important to learn from indiginous peoples and integrate that wisdom into my own life in my own way. That way I can maintain respect for a way of life I am hardly qualified to talk about, and greatly honored to feel close to in my heart. If you are so moved, please feel free to contact me and share how the didj, and aboriginal culture, touches and inspires your life.

Dave Donnellan
Hi, My name's Dave, I'm 21. I was born and lived in Dublin, Ireland until a just over a year ago when I moved over here to the North Georgia Mountains, U.S.A. where I am now married to my beautiful wife, Jessica.
I am looking for a Dórd Íseal (a Bronze Age Horn - 104 horns survive from the Irish Bronze Age of which replicas have been made and played). Irish bronze horns are by no means unique in the world of music, though they do belong to a particular wind instrument family. This is called the single cavity family. The essential feature is an open mouthpiece which allows the entire length of the instrument to resonate a note. Other members are animal horns from Africa, didgeridoo from Australia, wooden trumpets from the Amazon and various sea shells from around the world. The Dórd Íseal can be played in a manner very similar to the Australian didgeridoo. This involves using circular breathing and complex lip, mouth and upper body movements and pressures to vary tone and rhythm as with the didge. Anyway if anyone has any idea whatsoever where or how I might obtain such an instument please email me!!
Here is a picture of the Dórd Íseal:

I have a couple of video tapes that do a good job of explaining it. I guess I need some moral support. Anyway, you can add my name to the list of players. Maybe there are some out there that are lurking.

I started playing didj around June of '97 after hearing a bunch of guys sitting out front of Lee Parker's didj tent at the Great Blue Heron Festival. I've been hooked on the sound and soul of the didj ever since. I'm a Student with so many teachers that I don't know which to listen to first.

Larry Iwan
ROCHESTER, NY I started to play in 1998 with no inkling that I had begun a journey to other places on the earth and within myself. I found many new friends and inspiration at the Joshua Tree Didjeridu Festivals, and left some of my soul in the red earth at Gulkula, Arnhem Land, the site of the Garma Festivals for celebrating and sharing Aboriginal culture. Most of all, I enjoy playing and searching for my personal musical expression, but I have also learned something about playing and selecting instruments from physical acoustics modeling. My secret agenda is to find a way to get my whole town "buzzing" .

... (pronounced 'eye-oh-eye') is an international rollerblading didgeridoo quartet born in '97 in Tompkins Square Park, East Village, NYC. ||O||, the symbol, is representative of four didges with the circle as the central binding element: circular breathing, the core technique used in playing the instrument; the circle of four friends who often gather (as they do at Wanderlust) to jam for/with a larger circle of friends; and, of course, the wheels on which they roll. ||O|| can be seen and heard all over the globe, in such places as Wanderlust, Ocularis, Shadowbox, The Smithsonian, The Earth Room, yoga/meditation centers, parks, temples, subways, streets, jungles, boats, beaches, and anywhere else they happen to be, as well as on numerous recordings.

The individual members are:

I have just started playing the didj. I have wanted one for a long time and when I finally got one I couldn't wait to play it so on the way home I had my sister drive the car while I positioned myself where I had enough room to play. After about 2 minutes I got my first good drone going and I was hooked. Within an hour I was making some really cool tones and I was really excited with my purchase. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish with this very unique instrument.

Hello fellow droning ululators. I've been playing around on the didj for the last couple of years. I'm starting to get the circular breathing down with much relaxation and communion with other fellow didj'ers. I've turned quite a few people on to the didj and we've made many pvc pipes collectively. I love any and all acoustic and easoteric instruments. Let's have a midwest gathering and get on with peace and dreamtime.

Hey guys. I'm a fairly new player. I was first exposed on my trip Down Under this summer, and was hooked. Unforunatley, I kept myself from buying one. I have since borrowed one from a friend, and have learned how to circular breath, as well as add various sound effects. I am very interested in purchasing one for myself, as well as learning from someone with more skill than myself.

Harold E. Smith
As a multitalented musician, Harold E. Smith makes music out of anything he picks up. He plays drums, wind and percussion instruments from every continent, gongs, whistles, flutes and the traditional Australian Didjeridoo. In the jazz domain, Harold is noted for his highly energized, emotional, and innovative style of drumming, both as a leader and sideman. in all domains, Harold Smith is a person deeply in touch with the spirit of nature and the nature of our spirit. The first time he picked up the didjeridoo in 1993, he could play it,circular breathing and all. When he plays, he is always in conversation with the Great Spirit. He makes music that warms folk~Rs hearts, and brings smiles to their faces. The music comes from his heart, and his magical soul to ours.

Harold E. Smith, has released an unusual and evocative CD entitled "In the Valley of Sacred Sound" on his own label. Accompanied by Steve Turre on trombone, conch shells and percussion and Badal Roy on tabla, (from the liner notes) "(This music) sounds so good because it hits the spirit center. And that interchange of parts - which cycles from the breath, to the beat, into the heart of the vibration - through that cosmic, funky groove, and finally to the soul. Your soul. Our soul. Soul music." Steve Rowland (from a news paper) "I don't know if I have words to describe it," the Morristown, N.J. resident said after the two-hour solo concert. "It was soothing. It makes your soul giggle."

Vincent Troiani

Fritz Mahoney
I just made a Didg out of pvc pipe I tapered one end and flared the other with a torch it even has a twist in it. I could not belive the sound quality it produces, it sounds almost as good as the 400$ one that I played. Anyway I want to know if any one has a chart that explains the length in accordence with the desired note. Please e-mail me. And if you want to buy a good quality didg from me for cheap let me know and I make one for you custom...just send me a picture! Thanx.

Greetings ... new to didgeridoos but learning fast. Made a recent observation ... A couple of weeks ago, I was playing a digeridoo for a couple of hours. I turned it over with a flash light to look into it for the features that might be causing it's special sounds. I felt warm moist air rising out like usual. For some reason, I had the idea to a blow a small puff of air back into the upturned bell end. It broke into a million little white cloud dots of water vapor and swirled around eerily ... was simply amazing!! Question: Is the dot art pattern on some Tribes's didgeridoos representing sand like some say ... or is it this 'water dot magic that I saw (it's happened many times to me now ... I'm a scientist ... this is a natural event.) I see swirls in the otherwise evenly dotted art they draw that look the same to me.

I am a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, musician and teacher. I have been playing the Didjeridoo since 1998 and have spent time in the Northern Territories of Australia with Aboriginal people learning about their traditions, art and culture. I teach people of all ages how to make and play the Didjeridoo. I teach the music and traditions of many indigenous cultures in order to promote ancient wisdom and world peace.

Plays dig with passion, talent and whimsy. Some call him a snake charmer, while others know is as "Pan." His musical charisma is truly magical. I fell in love with him because of it.

I've been playing for about four years, and am a real addict. I have a really fun glass didj made by James Hall, as well as a pile of others. It's a little rough trying to find folks to play with up North, but I will survive! If you're ever around Ashland, WI look for me, I'm around!

Nathan Michalski
Originaly from Alaska, I now live in Milwaukee, WI. I still play every day and am always looking for others to play with. I am a loud and fast player. I never attempt to play in a "traditional" style. Currently I am working on pitch bending the root note to locked tones and the percussive "beat-box" style of playing. give me an e-mail I am always looking for others to play with or talk to about didj.

Michael Miljan

I made 3 awesome didges out of pvc and i use them in my band. The most interesting is a sousaphone didge that wraps around the body, allowing me to play the ukulele at the same time! All look just like wood because I melted them to add shape, sanded with an electric sander, then burnt them with a torch. I'd be happy to give specific instructions to anyone who wants to know!
