Fish & Snake Low A Didgeridoo

No need for comment on why we called it Fish & Snake Low A Didge. I believe we have an Australian Eucalyptus didge with some really good aboriginal art on it. And it is tuned at Low A, a note from your basement.

This rather looks like a glorified tube. But somehow, the bulge in the middle makes it sound way better than a simple tube. With a drone at A, this is a bonefide low note, but with so little air column space, it plays way faster than other low notes and has a high amount of back pressure. It is a shoe in for someone looking to learn low note playing techniques. Not surprisingly, there is not a lot of power and it does not overblow, but it is very easy to play, both gently and fiercely. Visually, there is not a lot of bell to amplify the sound, yet the sound is rich and a bit like growling in a cave. 

This one of a half dozen didges that came from the private collection of the original owner of Lark in the Morning. He passed some years ago, and his widow is passing these on to the world.

This didgeridoo has a fresh professional Beeswax mouthpiece made with Triple Filtered cosmetic grade beeswax from the USA. You can't leave any beeswax in a hot car without melting and loosing wax. A hot day in the sun might make it soft, but won't destroy the mouthpiece. Beeswax melts at just under 150F (65C).
