Why interested in Didj |
Alon from United Kingdom |
I have since I was twelve ( I'm only 16 now!) been fascinated by the didj. It is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.
As soon as I got into it I felt I had an obligation to learn about the aborigine culture. In doing this I have been able to appreciate
it more for its spiritual qualities and the role it plays in some aborigine cultures. This has made me a devout player! I have
been trying to teach in my school from my limited knowledge the role it plays in aborigine culture and alerting people of the
ever growing problems aborigines face. |

They sound cool and I heard they are a cure for sleep apnea. Plus I just like the name and it would be fun to tell people
I play the didgeridoo. |
Andreo Soares from Brazil |
'cause I'm percussion and listening Yothu Yindi I search about Didgeridoo and became me a lover didgeridoo. |
Andy from United Kingdom |
Being a musician at University studying sound engineering/production I am fascinated by all musical instruments and am never
afraid to try one out. I have always respected the sound and the art of playing the didj and after trying out my mates didj it
inspired me to research them |

I love the feeling that a didjeridu gives you when you are playing it. The sound that one makes is just amazing. I love the

Ho parenti in Australia e me ne hanno parlato sin da piccolo mi ha sempre affascinato al punto che me lo sono fatto regalare.
lo suono da poco e penso di essere sulla strada giusta. E veramente rilassante e molto salutare visto che per suonare ho tolto
il vizio di fumare. Sicuramente un buon motivo per continuare e perché no se riuscissi a buoni livelli. |

I travelled Australia and whilst there had the chance to decorate my own didge. Unfortunately it is really hard to play and
has become more of an artwork piece. I am frustrated as I know with other friends didges I am becoming pretty good but need my

I heard a didgeridoo playing and realised that this was something I had been missing out on for all this time. So I bought one
and I play it here in Japan. |

Seven months ago I went to a medieval market where I saw a young man playing a didgeridoo. He was selling didgeridoos and
when I passed from his side he started to doing a demonstration. The sound caught myself. So I decided to buy him a didgeridoo.
The man gave me a few basic lessons in this moment to be able to play didgeridoo and since then I practice every day a little
to someday be able to play it well. |

I love world music and would love to learn to play as many culturally unique instruments as possible |

Didgeridoo is relatively simple to play and is a marvelous instrument it allow to trip without move just the spirit. Its vibrations
are really driving. But the best with a didge is that when we hear its sound we automatically think about the most beautiful
country on earth: Australia also it permits me to dream that I am in Australia while I am in france... in my room... |

Latoya Mendez from USA |
I was first introduced to a pvc didj about 4 years ago at a friends house. He was learning how to play and I ventured to try
as well. Every time I went to visit I would spend some time trying to get the right sound - and one day it happened! I think
my friend was just as excited he began to play more and would get me to check out whatever he had learned since I had seen him
last. The day he learned circular breathing was when I was completely taken in - I spent some time trying again and again and
finally one day it was like woosh - you take that breath and it feels right - I have been hooked since then! Every time I visit
we must jam the didjes. For a long time this was the only chance I would get to play - my friend invested in couple of didjes
- and found a nice long piece of pvc for me to practice at home! - Now I am very partial to long didjes! I am often tempted to
by a real didj but do not make much money and always feel so guilty when I try to proceed checking out!R |

I have always been fascinated by the sound of the Didgeridoo. The deep tones vibrate inside me and feel like they go directly

Stuart Clyens from Denmark |
I play Irish folk music and one day an Aussie turned up at our weekly Sunday session carrying a didj. Of course we all gave
this guy pretty good ribbing about his instrument. I recall the word drainpipe being mentioned several times. However all ribbing
stopped when he started playing and joined in one of our reels with a powerful and hypnotic wow-wow sound spot on the beat. After
the reel finished we all sat around amazed and excited with this new sound and its possibilities. We practically insisted that
our new Aussie pal play along the rest of the evening. On one number he started adding dog bark and growling effects which totally
transformed the piece and as soon as we finished we played the whole thing again straight off just for the hell of it. Ever since
that day I have been telling myself I must get a didj and learn to do the same. Unfortunately living in Denmark I did not really
feel that I knew enough about didjes to order one. Then -happy day -a friend recommended I take a look at Didjshop web site and
I did and now I know a lot more about selecting a didj - what to look for and what to avoid. Thanks Stuart Clyens Denmark |
