Many new agaves are on the site now with the addition of hand carved wood mouthpieces. The wood mouthpieces are great to play on and don’t leave a residue after playing like wax does. They also are easy to clean and great for traveling. The openings are sized between 1.2-1.25″ depending on the didge. I am using a variety of woods including Bubinga, Wenge, Zebrawood, Cherry, Padauk, Agave, Mahogany,Shedua and more. Also check out some testimonials from individuals who have recently purchased didgeridoos from me.
Thanks, Kyle

When I came upon this stalk my jaw dropped. One of the larger flower stalks that I have found in the wild and estimated it to be about 25 feet. I am more and more amazed by these beautiful plants every time I go searching for them. The wood has so much resonance and I knew right away that I wanted to make a big bore deep didgeridoo. Well, I accomplished my goal and this thing is just awesome. It plays so easily and puts you in an instant meditative state. A# is such a cool deep note and always has felt great to hear and play. With the huge bore there is so much bass and has such a rich drone. Incredible vocals and tongued rhythms with amazing response. If you have never owned an A# now is the time. Can’t even imagine what this would sound like through an amp! Beautiful thick piece of Zebrawood to top off this one of a kind didge!

This didge is buzzing with excitement! Loves to play explosive rhythms and really ambient styles too. I love the key of F and have contemplated keeping this one so you might want to act fast. Hardly any breath required to play and the response is phenomenal. Extremely easy and crystal clear overtones and great vocals with tremendous volume. You will surely add some energy and new sounds to your playing with this beauty!

The first thing you will notice on this on is the sexy curves that is has. A really nice long neck that explodes to a great bell. I used a clear Shellac for the French Polish on this one and it really enhances the bell that looks like an abstract painter had a part in creating it. Extremely responsive and barely any breath required with the thin walls and strong backpressure. This would be a great one for the beginner didge player as it will really speed up your learning process but also great for any level player. Really easy overtones and great loud vocals this has great balance and you can’t lose with the solid key of D.

I had a friend in town recently from New York who loves to hike. The hills where I get my Agaves can be extremely steep and rugged and I have seen some off in far distance that I had always wanted to check out. We ended up hiking to the very top of one of these hills I have waned to explore and found some amazing agaves. This is the one however that stood out above the rest. I love thick, old agaves and this one is one of the densest stalks I have found. I love the way it plays and has so much depth and character to its drone. I couldn’t be happier with how it came out and you really can play explosive, fiery rhythms. Clear easy overtones and tremendous vocals. This is just the tip of the iceberg on what this one can do. If you are a guitar player you are probably aware of the woods in the mouthpiece. I ordered this Swamp Ash specifically for this didge. A prized wood for its extreme resonance and has some beautiful grain that is accented nicely by the Mahogany. I used two different Shellacs for the french polish as I wanted to enhance the darks and lights. I used a clear on the ash and a dark shellac to bring out the the agave stalk. As you can see I love this didge and think you will too!
This is a real lively didge with lots of character. Nice backpressure and vocals and loves to play fast wobble like rhythms. The mouthpiece has some amazing wood combos and the french polish really pops the wood. Being a very old stalk I have inlaid a lot of turquoise throughout to appeal to the player both sonically and visually.

One of the strongest stalks that I have found over all these years of searching the AZ mountains. When you hold this didge you can just feel the power that is possesses. The way this one plays will inspire the most seasoned didgeridoo player and would also be incredible for someone just starting to play. Feels like there are endless rhythms inside this piece that are waiting to explode out that nice bell. When I played this one for the first time it was one of those moments when you create an instrument and are so excited to have built it and find rhythms that you have never thought of. Beautiful woods in the mouthpiece and joint with great curves and sits perfectly as you play. All natural finish that pops the wood and will just get better over time with age. Loving the French Polish technique!

The more I play these higher pitch notes the more I love them. I may have mentioned before but will again that F# has got to be one of my favorite notes. When I was talking to a flute player about this he stated that is was the principal note of the Native American flute. Makes sense the more I play it and realize that gravitate towards the the sharps and flats. This one can create such ambience and speedy, poppy rhythms that are full of energy. Hardly any breath required and has tremendous vocals and volume with its thin walls. Highly recommend this one!

This is a great agave stalk that didn’t require a mouthpiece with its really quick taper. Very explosive didge which loves to create fast wobble like rhythms that sound almost electrified at times. With its long taper overtone transitons can be achieved with ease, I would recommend this to someone a bit more advanced as it takes a little more breath and would be a bit of a workout for the beginner. This is the first didge with a new all natural resin on the outside. I have been researching alternative resins for some time and decided on the “French Polish” method for the exterior. A technique that is much more labor intensive and time consuming. This technique has been used on string instruments since the 18th century. You should google it and read about this amazing technique.

I am not really sure where to start with this one but here it goes. To start this didge is pretty wild looking and sounding. This is the first G that I have made and it is high pitched and full of energy. I combined two really dense old stalks but then decided it would be fun to make it even more unique by adding a 13″ mouthpiece full of some incredible woods. This long neck and huge bell at the end create some astonishing rhythmic abilities with incredible volume. The bore near the bell is so big I can reach my whole arm up to my shoulder in it. There are a ton of bass notes that hit almost like a drum when you get it just right. Overtones are beautiful and easy to reach especially the first deeper overtone. I wouldn’t recommend this to a beginner but someone who has played for a while as it can be a little intimidating at first. A one of a kind didge that would be a great addition to someones collection!

This is a solid didge with great twisted wood grain and a really unique flare at the bell. Dense, thick, solid old wood that thins out near the base for good sound projection. This one is so easy to play with a nice crisp drone and awesome vocals and easy overtones. These shorter, thick Old Souls have become really popular and the favorite of many repeat buyers.

This is like the race car of didges. So quick and explosive and a blast to play. Will make you sound like an absolute beast with very little effort. It is so resonant with great volume and incredible vocals and nice overtones. F# is such a great note for those that have not played one. These higher pitch didges are becoming my favorites for the energy that they can express.

This one has a big open bore with a nice beehive type bell at the end. There is lots of bass and volume and this one likes to got fast but is just as comfortable playing slow ambient styles. I love these higher keys with big bores as it is a nice mix of lows and highs. Lots of character to the stalk with some added inlaid turquoise throughout.
