didgeridoo questions
    #14279119 - 04/12/11 05:19 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I'm thinkin of gettin one. A cheap one but good is what im lookin for haha. So what are some things I should look for? I plan on buying online, id rather get wood but if plastic sounds better for price I can do it. Should i get bamboo, plastic, teak, or any more prefered material for a good price? And I saw some that came in different Keys, could you guys tell me anything about that?

You can make your own from PVC if price is what is getting you down. They play nice and all you really need to do is figure out length and diameter to find pitch and key and a little beeswax to form a mouth piece.

Here's a helpful site with some info on making your own. It's also nice to have an authentic style too, so don't shut that out of your mind. Just understand that most authentic didgeridoos are an artful craft and may cost a pretty penny. Well worth it if you are really into it. I got mine from LAOutback.com, but there are lots of other suppliers with their own sites too. Google that shit!

I've been playing didgeridoo since 2005. I'd honestly recommend spending 100 to 200 dollars for an authentic one...
That's what I started with... the plastic ones and bamboo ones are trash compared to them... I cannot even play them, they confuse me.:confused: Most didgeridoos come in different keys, I started on a D and moved deeper.
I'm very glad I started on the real deal, because it would have been difficult to transition over... and the over all feel, sound and playability is better. It's definitely worth it.:thumbup:

Agreed, I started didgeridoo on a homemade pvc one. Once you learn the technique you can know what to look for when you go shopping for an authentic one.
