What is a didjeridu?
An Australian Aboriginal wind instrument in the form of a long wooden tube, traditionally made from a hollow branch, which is blown to produce a deep, resonant sound, varied by rhythmic accents of timbre and volume.
Do you need to be musical or able to read notes to take didgeridool lessons?.
Musical knowledge or note reading is not necessary
How long will the online course take?
The total length of the online course is over 40 minutes and covers as many as 24 lessons in it. 13 lessons relate to playing the didgeridoo and 11 lessons on circular breathing.

Why is a teak or mahogany didgeridoo more expensive than a bamboo didgeridoo?
The teak and mahogany didgeridoos are made of higher-grade wood than bamboo. Also, the process of hollowing out the didgeridoo and making the mouthpiece is more laborious. The mahogany didgeridoo comes with a luxury nylon padded didgeridoo bag and these didgeridoos are a lot longer than the bamboo didjes - 150cm. The teak didgeridoos are 130cm and come painted and unpainted.
Does a didgeridoo playing course work well against snoring and sleep apnoea (OSAS)?
Scientific research has shown that didgeridoo playing strengthens the throat muscles and can therefore significantly reduce snoring and lower the number of apnoea breathing stops. Of course, it is important to keep doing the exercises but, as mentioned earlier, you can do the circular breathing exercises anywhere.
Can anyone learn circular breathing?
Yes, everyone young and old can learn circular breathing.
-
I have hyperventilation, can I play didgeridoo?
For people who have hyperventilation, are short of breath, have lung problems, suffer from lung covid, circular breathing and playing the didgeridoo can actually help.
A didgeridoo, what is it made of?
The didjeridu, also spelled didgeridu, didge, titjeridoe or didjeridoo is a musical instrument originally made from a hollow tree branch of eucalyptus wood and have an average length of 120cm – 180cm
Is an online course really enough for me to learn to play didgeridoo?
Yes, with this course you will learn the basics and be able to progress for months. The more you practice the lessons, the faster you will master didgeridoo playing. Many people don't know that you can practise the circular breathing technique without a didgeridoo, wherever you are. So also in the car, train, while walking and exercising. That makes it great fun, too!
What did others think?
Our workshops have helped many people with
circular breathing and have been able to reduce snoring as a result.

Good professional information about the products. I bought a travel didge and a didge box. Both are fine. Please note that you have to breathe them in a little before they run smoothly. Circular breathing is therefore very easy to do. I decorated the box with art. Makes it slightly different.

This spiral travel didgeridoo is absolutely magical. It is beautiful, and its weight makes it a strong instrument, while it’s not too heavy for your arms. This is the perfect companion for easy transport and, you can play it without making your arms tired, why not while walking ? The sky is the limit with this beauty. Oh, yes, a genuine long didgeridoo still sounds a little better in my opinion, but I am so excited and astonished that this sound gets so amazingly close from the traditional didge. It has a very good back pressure and the mouth piece is perfect. It plays extremely easily. This is the only version of a didgeridoo, where yourself as a player can hear how it sounds for the listener, because otherwise you’d need to record the sound with a normal didge and listen to it later. Long story short : I fell in love with it. It has become my favourite and it will never stop surprising me.

Nice didges. Got four, two from other sellers and two from Australian Treasures. It's a heavy piece of wood (the one on the far left is from Australian Treasures, new. The second from the right also. The one one the far right is bamboo. The two on the left eucalyptus and the one with the colouring.. I am not sure, but it's quite light)

Delivery time and tracking were on point. I am excited and happy with the quality and sound of my digideroo. It's better than what I imagined it. I will definitely order from Australian Treasures again. Thank you.!
