Oh dude, I felt like I had really accomplished something great. It is a real challenge to circular breath and when you finally get it, you feel great. I want to be able to play for hours though. I am totally into the sound. |

I felt like totally in another world, I couldn't really speak with peoples who were sitting next to me. I think the didgéridoo is a really mystic instrument and when you play it in a meditation attitude and in the nature, it can transport your mind very far away. |

My mouth gets wet and I don't want to expel too much saliva into a wooden pipe, so I have to swallow or wipe my mouth now and then.
Other than that, I easily get stuck in a didge loop - that is, I keep on playing forgetting about the time. |
