I'm primarily a guitarist and singer, but I've recently gotten into trance/space music, and am looking to broaden my horizons with a new instrument and learn about a fascinating culture at the same time! |

I always knew what a didge sounded like but I never knew the NAME of the damned thing. when I found out, I immediately became interested and tracked one down. I've learned how to play quickly. |

I blew into a pvc pipe one day when I was about 12 and discovered it and didn't realize that it had already been discovered!!!!!!!!!! I just new it sounded cool and was probably never gonna stop!!!! |

I've been intrigued by the didj sound for a long time and was offered the opportunity to get lessons about 2 years ago. On a recent trip to northern and central Australia I tried a number of didges and finally bought one. |
David from Canada |
A friend of mine brought one to a bbq. I asked him if I could try it out and I've been in love with it ever since |

Sleep apnea treatment and music background. Also, since I'm interested in zen meditation I'm curious about that possibility here. Also, I'd like to explore the creation of group trance states. |
Fernando from Argentina |
I like music. lots of styles. I play percussion and used to play guitar. a friend of mine has a didj and show me how to play. he also told me a little of the didj's history. since that day I became really interested in the instrument and its sound. I think the only bad thing about it, it's the low volume, which makes it really difficult to play with other instruments, specially percussion. but that is easily fixed with a microphone |

After watching the native aboriginals playing the didj for hours on end it made me really relaxing, so I thought it was a good idea to start playing it myself. |
Ian from USA |
Honestly, I saw my first at a gift shop. It's embarrassing, I know, but it peaked my interest. Thank goodness, because I'm quite glad I discovered this amazing instrument! |

Jesper from Denmark |
I have some family in australia, and I've always been fascinated by the sound. And since I can't play any other instrument do to the fact that I can coordinate my finger, hands, feet very well together do to some left/right issues with my eyes. |

Used to play guitar and trumpet, but smashed up one hand so can no longer play these. The didge always interested me and since it doesn't require moving fingers I started playing around with a plastic one. |
John Armstrong from USA |
My mother-in-law gave it to me about 20+ years ago. I recently joined a didgeridoo circle. |
John from USA |
The band of brothers that I was with at the time - one of us showed up with a didj and the rest was like a riot of us all falling over ourselves to figure it out. we worked for months - we had no money - we constructed them from pvc and, since we were living in Mississippi, we found giant bamboo that worked until it split. eventually I was able to build a couple of didges out of agave that I harvested while visiting my family in Kenya - these are the didges that I have to this day. |
John Van Der Woude from Netherlands |
I found my first instrument by coincidence on a market and much to my surprise I could get a beautiful drone. Since then I'm on a journey in discovering the didgeridoo. |
Josh from USA |
The sound and I hear it is easy to learn. |

It's an interesting instrument. The first thing I thought when I heard it was how great sounds can come out of such a simple instrument. |

Steve Barton from United Kingdom |
Its always been in the back of my mind for as many yrs as I can remember, where the inspiration came from I don't know, I heard it being played on the tv I think. 3 yrs back Bron and I went to Australia and that was it. I just didn't realise I could buy a didge and the culture was so big outside of Australia, if only I had |
Steve from USA |
I went to Australia. Plus it is so unique. |
Susan from USA |
The feeling of calm and something I can not describe in my soul. It makes me happy and strong. |

We (my father, brother, friends and other people) participated in a sweat lodge, there one who was with us played a didge, others drums and shakers, and the sound of the didge really mesmerized me, so I got me a bamboo didge and also learnt to play. |
