Frequently asked questions

Read our frequently asked questions. Get in touch if you can't find your question!

    • How do you make your own didgeridoo?

      You can easily make a didgeridoo yourself from a PVC tube. Sometimes you don't have to do anything about it and a PVC pipe that you can buy at a hardware store is enough. The ideal length for a homemade didgeridoo is about 130cm. This length gives you a low didgeridoo tone. You can even give the tube a nice shape by heating the PVC tube and bending it to give the didgeridoo a nice branch shape. If necessary, make a beeswax mouthpiece on the didgeridoo and paint the didgeridoo with acrylic paint for a nice end result.

    • Can the didgeridoo cure sleep apnea?

      Research has shown that playing the didgeridoo helps treat mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea. Both sleep apnea patients and their partners became less sleepy during the day and had less sleep disturbances at night.

    • Is the didgeridoo the same as other wind instruments?

      The didgeridoo is different from other wind instruments. You blow through a large opening and have to give resistance with your mouth/lips. The didgeridoo has one tone, it is not a melody instrument. On the didgeridoo, you use the circular breathing technique. The didgeridoo produces many more vibrations than other wind instruments

    • Where does the didgeridoo come from?

      The didgeridoo, pronounced didzjeriedoe, is a wind instrument, best known from Australia where the Aboriginal people in Northern Australia (Northern Territory) have been playing the instrument for thousands of years.

    • I am short of breath, can I play didgeridoo?

      For people who are short of breath, circular breathing and playing the didgeridoo can actually help.

    • How to breathe circularly?

      Circular breathing is a breathing technique in which a continuous tone can be obtained on a wind instrument. The first step of the technique is that the oral cavity is filled with as much air as possible by inflating the cheeks.

    • Where can I take didgeridoo lessons if I don't want to do it online?

      Australian Treasures organises one-day didgeridoo & circular breathing workshops throughout the year. With a small group of students, you will learn the basics of didgeridoo playing as well as circular breathing in one day. These lessons will be given in the beautiful little church in Beets (NH). You can register for this course via this website. Or via www.didgeridoocentrum.nl

    • Can and should women play the didgeridoo?

      According to Aboriginal tradition, women were not allowed to play didgeridoo. It would make them sterile. Now the didgeridoo was a real men's instrument according to their own tradition. Of course women are allowed to play didgeridoo just like women are allowed to play other musical instruments!

    • Where can I buy a beginner didgeridoo and the course?
