First Experience with a Didj

Aaron Blake from USA

I first heard a didge on television as background music during a program. I was completely captivated by this new sound and started asking everyone I knew what they thought it was. I made it my mission to seek out more didge music and to try and make one.

Adam Hammons from USA

Whoa, what is that?

Anonymous from USA

It is the relaxing tone that reached deep inside

Adriana Okuma from Brazil

The sound is similar a brazilian instrument (berrante).

Adrien Bélisme from France

It in a shop. A man said to me how to play, I tried and it was a strange sound for me, but I though what a beautiful sound ! Two years later I buy my first didj. I was exiting to play with my own didj. I would thank this man who said me how to play.

I thought they sounded very beautiful and want to own one, buy the only thing was I didn't know what they were called or where to get one. The only things I knew where they where made by Aborigines.

It's beautiful!! It's a very relaxing sound and it has very, very good vibes. It's meditative and we can "trip" with the sound of the didje in a beautiful and quiet place.

Such a wonderful sound and powerful vibes. Definitely the best way to relax and such an amazing means for meditation.....

Raul Perez from USA

I saw it first at the summer 2000 olympics. A runner from the US was playing it on a perch in sydney and as I heard him play I could see he was spiritually moved by the didge. From then on I knew I wanted to feel that way as well.

Ray Branson from USA

I knew immediately that I had to learn how to play

I fell in love with it. I first heard a guy when I was a little kid play at the Chaffey theatre in Renmark. He was incredible. He could make all these noises that I never thought possible. I had heard it on the tele before 1980 but live was really special and made a deep mark in me.

Cool sound, great looking

I was about 8 when I first heard the didj played live and I just loved the sounds that it produced but could never understand how the player kept it going with out coming up for air. Of course I know differently now and am looking forward to learning how it play the Didj
