I came by to enter the sweeps, because I thought it would be so cool to have a clean didj of my own to play. I also think it would help me respiratorily. I have been a cigarette smoker, and think I've done a bit of damage to my lungs. I'm hoping I can recover my lung strength back to when I was a young teen. Wish me luck! OUR COMMENT: the didj can really help people like you and some doctors are already telling patients with lung damage to take up didj playing]

All the questions I had were answered easily and well. I liked that I could pick from just cheap learners and I didn't have filter through didjes I wanted but can't afford. One thing would be nice, When shopping I don't want to see all the didjes that have already been sold. They are nice to look at but distracting.
