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!

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!
