The best musical insturment you can play or listen to on shrooms has to be the didgeridoo.The last time my friend and I did mushrooms we started playing the didgeridoo and it made us trip out so bad we had to stop playing it. I bought my didg in Australia a while back but my friend has one made out of sewer pipe that sounds almost as good.

My friend and i once while tripping, got his didjeridoo and got into the shower and while blowing it, put the other end over the hole at the bottom of the shower...Try this, it literally reverberates through the piping around the entire house!! Trippy as - if you can play them properly and never stop, then it can lead to you to far off places - to the dreaming infact...

I've always wanted to buy one of these, can cheap ones work alright or should I wait and get a hand made one?

Nah...
GO to the hardware store and buy a 4 foot section of ABS pipe- make sure to sand the playing end down a bit tho.... Learn how to play on that first. It will take you a while, and you might get discouraged if you dish out $300 bucks for an instrument you wont be able to play right away....

My first didges were made of 1-1/4" ABS, no taper, no mouthpiece just straight pipe. Some poelpe reccomned 1-1/2" but its really hard toget a nice drone when youre just starting out.
Try this page out- they have a lot of the info you'll need to get started!

I'm going to Austrailia this summer for an internship, so that'd be cool if i could do that.

Well, in actuality they both kinda suck compared to wood. :)
I prefer plastic over aluminum tho. The aluminum i have played (tailpipes, from when i worked in an auto warehouse...) dulls a bit compared to ABS. ABS will probably cost about 5 bucks for a good didge for learning how to play. Im not sure about aluminum...
Not to mention you can alter your abs didge by heating it and bending or jamming a bottle in the end to create a bell (amplification). Like with most things, experiment to see what you like to play better, longer or shorter- wider or thinner... no limit to ABS.
However they both sound really crisp and artificial compared to a wooden didge. Its hard to tell the differance until youve been playing for years, so no big deal right away...
If you pick it up really well and want a good playing didge, there is a guy up here who makes unbelieveable wooden ones and will cater to exactly what you want. www.didje.com
I should mention that you have to be careful when buying didges made from wood grown in warmer climates. If you live somewhere where it gets relatively cold, the didge will crack. I know people who have Austrailian didges and brought them home only to have them crack like a mofo...

Ever wonder how didgeridoo players can make the sound without stopping to take a breath?
It's easy, once you get the hang of it. You puff up your cheeks, and use your "cheek muscles" to blow out air, and create a buzz with your lips when you take in another breath through your nose. This is how it is done, just practice.
(It's exactly like scottish bag pipes... only the bag is your mouth, and the arm that squeezes the bag is your cheeck muscles ... how this is a good analogy)

you aussies might already know about this band, but just in case ya dont. Everyone must listen to Dr Didg. they are this kick ass aussie jam band that's main focus is the didgeridoo. They're pretty damn good. "out of the woods" is the only album i know of them.
I'm also gonna buy some of that pipe and try that. being able to didg would be awesome....just pick up someones steamroller and bust out into song.

Newest Dr. Didg album's called Seritonality and I've got to recommend it with great sweeping enthusiastic arm gestures and hopping, it's so good, a lot of the tracks have this weird Arabian feel to them and it's just incredibly odd with the didgeridoo in there too, fantastic mushroom music.
He's a physics professor who spent all his time for a while doing studies on the air flow through tubes and learned to play the didgeridoo, he does some really strange things with it...

Gouryella is supposedly some type of place or god....or thing in native australian culture but i forget what it is. There are some great songs with the didg. under this name, it is an alias for Tiesto and Ferry Corsten together. Great Songs!!!!!!!

"circular breathing is soooo fuckign hard to get"
Yah, but it is and it isnt in a way. Its funny, once you get it you'll be amazed you had such a hard time. It will kinda work for you when you dont even think about it.

the best thing about didge is that you can play anything that is a tube, any material any size that you have enough lung power to get vibrating any length. my garage had a huge piece of pipe that was probally 25 feet long 1" diameter that i was playing, with the end in the back of the garage it makes the whole place drone. or i played a huge 2foot diameter pipe that i could get to drone for 30 secs on one lung full but it was bueatiful sounding. the best is playing playing a didge inside those concrete sewer pipes underground, you can find the perfact drone that starts the pipes air column droning in harmony, its amazing, and your friends can listen outside the tube blocks away. didge is the greatest, droning singing and screaming at once.

Well, this is my reccomendation.
Go to the hardware store, buy a four foot section of ABS tubing at an 1" 1/4.
Take it home, sand down the playing end so its nice and smooth. It'll cost you about 5 bucks tops and its great to learn how to play. Worry about the key later, as some keys are more difficult to play than others, hell there are some keys that even i cant play that well and ive been playing for a long long time.
If you want to get fancy with your abs didge, heat it over a fire till the sound end gets nice and workable (NOT dripping or on fire! ) then bell it out over a wine bottle or a 40 bottle or something. Makes it sound much better!
