I heard it in the beginning of the movie "The Rescuers Down Under" I thought "What's making that sound?" I'd heard of didgeridoos and figured that's what it must be. A few years ago my father-in-law gave one to my daughter for Christmas and I learned to play it a bit.

Magic sound relaxing

Stephen from USA

Well it was on a tape I heard when I was really young. I was instantly captured by its awkward drone. I've always liked didgeridoos and once I found this site I thought of getting a real cheapy one. This could help me get a nice didj to play.

I was entranced and I knew that I had to get one. So I cut down some bamboo from my parents back yard and made my first didj. Now I play the didj nightly in my band St. Somewhere's show. It is one of the highlights of the night for our fans.

Fue un sonido transportador siempre me han gustado esos sonidos hipnoticos y por fin había encontrado el instrumento que lo reproducia a la perfeccion

Victoria from Australia

I felt the music call out to me and go right through me. The music spoke to me and allowed me to feel the connection to the land that the Aboriginal people have. Their spiritual culture is evident through the earthly sounds of the didgeridoo.

Anonymous from Croatia/Hrvatska

Totally awesome would like to have one and play in Croatia. I hope you sell also video tapes how to start.

Anonymous from USA

Love it

Wesley from USA

Very Cool and I had to learn to Play.

Mystical sound

Anonymous

This instrument seemed very mysterious to me full of a great charge.The discovery of the circular breathing technique involved in the playing of didgeridoo amazed me I used to think of breath in terms of an alternative discontinuous movement.
