Why interested in Didj |
Anonymous from Finland |
Because it's a cool and useful instrument and it doesn't need hands to play - free hands for drums or guitar |

Adam Brill from United Kingdom |
Having travelled around Australia back in 2002 I learnt to play a didjeridu and bought a fantastic didj whilst I was there. |
Adam from Canada |
Ever since I was young I have always loved the sound of the didj but only in the past few months have I decided to learn how
to play one. After constructing one from PVC pipe and learning how to play it (sometimes even with a guitar) I feel that I have
discovered a very special musical instrument that I will play until my lips fall off. I have not yet become a great player but
I practice it every day sometimes for several hours. I have also been learning quite a bit more about aboriginal culture especially
now that I am borrowing such an important piece of it. |

I love Australia. I've visited twice (three months during college two weeks for a summer trip) learned about Aboriginal culture

The sound of the Didgeridoo is so earthen and powerful. It has always evoked a kind of clarity for me I must stop and listen
and when I do I cannot ignore the history that I hear...history of the land of people and of communication. I really like the
naturality of the Didge and how artists co-work on it to create a masterpiece with nature. |

I myself have always loved the sound. The deep longing sound of the instrument. I have only heard the instrument played in
movies and on television but every time it is one of those sounds that you can close your eyes and actually feel inside your
self as it is played. I am hoping to win this as a gift for my father. He is a very musical person and can play many instruments
from all over. He is mostly self taught but very good at it. Music is his life and his passion. And it is my hopes to win this
for him. He loves to learn new instruments and I know he can do this. |

Tara from USA |
I have been interested in the deep soul-filled sounds of the Earth that came through Didgeridoos since I first heard them
as a teen. I have always had a calling to Australia and the beautiful Aboriginal culture and plan to visit within the next couple
of years. I have studied shamanism many places in the world including Tibet Nepal Peru South Africa Egypt Mexico and Ireland.
Sound healing is a part of each shamanic tradition in some way but there is something about the Didgeridoo that calls to me and
I would be honored to have one to learn how to play and eventually take others on the powerful Didj Journeys. I bought one back
when I was a teen that was for decoration only. Now I dream of one that I can learn bond and grow with. |
