This new area I have been exploring has some incredibly thick and dense stalks. I just love the power they play with and this is about as thick as agaves come. Another swiss army knife of a didge as this one can do it all. As you might have heard in the sound clip there is some really explosive drum like sounds you can make with this one. The back pressure is just perfect and takes no breath and even with the smaller bell this one has great volume and would be heard in any drum circle or acoustic jam. The sturdy, thicker walls make this one great for traveling and hiking and camping. The drone of C# is just so grounding and this one has just beautiful overtone capabilities overt the bass tones in the drone and the toots are really easy with the shape and dense wood. This one is perfect for every level and if I was just starting out this would be my pick. Such an awesome didge!
I just love these bigger bore thick Old Souls! This one is absolutely beautiful with so many pigments from white to blacks to reds. The carpenter bees always love these thicker stalks and this one has lots of turquoise inlaid throughout in the perfect little circles they leave behind. They also leave grooves on the inside so there is some nice texture in parts on this one. This one has such a nice calming bass filled drone and would be a great one for grounding in these stressful times. Very easy overtones which are easy to transition to from the drone. The vocals are powerful and so clear over the drone and travel nicely up and down the stalk. I have this one a pretty good discount, so it’s a steal for such an amazing player!
This is one of the most unique belled agaves I have found. This enormous agave grew 15 feet from #359 and seems both spent a lifetime communicating on aspiring to become amazing didges:) A lot of times with these extremely large agaves will have a huge bell at the base but this one has this extremely long bell at such an unusual angle. This shape and long bell creates some incredible playing capabilities with an amazing bass filled drone, easy overtones, incredible vocals, and can play so strong in every style. This would be an incredible didge to start your journey with the instrument to the most advanced to reach another level. I am just blown away by how easy it is to play and how much it inspired immediately. Because of its angle shipping is a lot more on this one so I actually lowered the price by $100. I can’t wait to see where it ends up!
My dog Bean just loves didgeridoo and certain ones she will always come over and hang out nearby for a listen. She seems to love this one and I do as well. This one has such a nice round bass tone to the drone with its bigger bore and some incredible vocal ability and volume that explode out that large bell. This one is just as comfortable playing ambient soundscapes as it is incredibly fast rhythms. It has a really soothing drone and registered in E at 432hz. Can fluctuate obviously with climate but just has a healing energy to it. I love the wood tones in this one and the bell is unique with such a light coloration with some nice contrasting darker lines. This would be such a great fit for every skill level and style!
On my drive home from this harvest I was pretty beat and ready to call it when I saw this out of the corner of my eye. It had fallen over on a pretty steep hill and decided to check one last agave out. I am so glad I did as this is such an amazing didge! This was an enormous stalk that toppled over because of its great weight and size. After falling it cured in the desert with one side being bleached white from the intense desert sun. This is really unusual and just love the look of it. Beside the unique colors this is such a thick and dense stalk with beautiful curves that you can’t see as well in the pics. This is such a soulful didge and love the deep key of B. Would be so great for meditative style of play and also has tremendous rhythmic ability. The vocals are so strong and the overtones so clear and easy to find. It take so little breath you can play the overtones like a crystal bowl. Soothing bass tones in the well balanced drone and such great back pressure. Most of the time I don’t recommend B’s or deeper keys to beginners but this one is just so easy to play it would work for any level. Such a unique piece!
Sold, Thanks again Hunter! In Tepotzlan, MOR, Mexico
D# is one of those notes that just gets you moving. I sometimes play at a reiki circle and one the practitioners has a D# crystal bowl and talked about the energetic nature of the note. If you need some uplifting this might be the perfect didge for you! This one is so light weight and plays so easily requiring such little breath. Would be so good for the beginning didge player but also for the most experienced as this one is just explosive. With its thinner walls and big bell it has a ton of volume and the vocals and overtones so clear and easy with its form. One of my favorite keys for rhythmic play this one will get you moving and lift you up!
Tired of not being heard in a jam session? Drummers drowning you out again? This one is a percussive machine and has so much volume! The sound sample really doesn’t do this one justice as it is hard to capture its capabilities. It is one of the quickest didges you will play and can achieve some amazing speeds with ease. The bell is so unique and adds such an interesting sound effect to the drone. It almost acts like an amplifier and the sounds get moved around in it in such a cool way. The overtones are so easy to transition to and creates so many rhythmic possibilities. As you can see from its incredible taper this one just wants you to speed up and is such an energizing didge. A perfect didge for those that like to beat box and play in a more percussive style. What a blast to play!
