enjoy! i'm going to didge fest this weekend!!!
how do you like it so far? is comfertable to play? is it tuned to a specific note? is it load enough?
where do you like playing on it (i've had some fun times in the bathroom and restroom but my ultimate favorit spot is in a big concreat garage... the sound is just SO good in there!)

I love it. It sounds great and i can play pretty easily for only using one once years ago. personally i dont know what note it is to.. if i heard a soundclip of different notes i could tell you. I didnt get a chance to play it in different places. I want to bring it the next time we go camping.

I just looked all over the place and I can't find any hting even close to daka. Maybe he only knows the foreign word for it. You think?

nice!
can you circular breathe yet? its tricky but once you get that down your playing goes to a whole new level. didging on mushrooms is quite nice aswell, so relaxing.

haha!! i was just joking.
IMHO:
the only thing that sounds better than a didje, is several
seriously, when you get two didjes togther it sounds awesome. completely amazing.
im not sure how you woudl "battle" didjes man lol, they are such an environmental instrument that they just blend together. once you get to know one persons playing style you can make some wicked rythms.

curcular breathing is a bit misleading..
its the art of sustained breathing if you ask me.
you have to learn to "push" the air out of your mouth while simeltaneously breathing in through your nose.
once you get the trick it DOES go to a whoel new level, i can play for hours at a time but i usually get light headed after 30 minutes and need a short break...
HOWEVER
it feels soooooo good hehe

dual didges are sweet. haha sometimes i play my deep, bassy didge and my loud snappy didge at the same time(well switching from one to the other split second)
deffenitly fun to try if you have a couple didges laying around.

i learned the same way as where K_C posted...
with the cup and water....it took me like a month to transfer it to the didge...
and yea it is a major change....it actually got my playing a lot again....i love to just carry a solid drone on a low A or even G and just let it flow for like 20 mins...
you feel so great after words,likea full body/mental massage...

playing REALLY stoned thought me everything i know on the didge! only when i'm stoned do i really learn... i thought i knew everything once i started to circular breath but i still had alot of tuning to do and i had to get better at producing precise sounds...
but every time i play the didge stoned out of my head it's like i'm not really playing it at all... it just does what it's supposed to and everything that's in me goes out via the didge a truly libirating feeling!

What? That probably has no connection with the type of wood that this didge is made out of. Just my thought, though.
