Frequently asked questions

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

    • How do you choose a good didgeridoo?

      Things like resonance, tone, ease of playing, shape, size and quality are all important. It is important to start on a didgeridoo that is easy to play. This will speed up your learning process and also motivate you to keep going. We recommend starting with a relatively cheap bamboo didgeridoo.

    • Can anyone learn to play didgeridoo?

      Yes, didgeridoo playing is suitable for anyone to learn. We have been giving didgeridoo workshops to the education sector for many years and even pre-school and primary school children can get a sound out of it.

    • How long does 1 lesson last in the course?

      Most lessons last 2 to 3 minutes on average and can be played indefinitely. So you can take didgeridoo lesson(s) at any time of the day!

    • Does a beeswax mouthpiece always have to be put on a didgeridoo?

      It is not always necessary to put a beeswax mouthpiece on a didgeridoo. Sometimes the wooden mouthpiece on the didgeridoo is already in good shape and does not need to be changed. If the mouthpiece is too big, you can use beeswax to make the wooden mouthpiece smaller by modelling a mouthpiece on it. This is very easy to do yourself and done in 10 minutes. If the mouthpiece has a rough surface, a bit of beeswax on the mouthpiece can also help.

    • 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

    • 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.

    • 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!

    • Besides the online lessons, do you have a didgeridoo shop or didge shop?

      We sell a wide range of didgeridoos in our Australian Treasures webshop. We do not have a physical shop. Therefore, we have added videos to our didgeridoos we offer online so you can hear and see the didgeridoo you want to buy. Of course, we are always available if you have any questions about buying from our didgeridoo shop. Please send an email to info@australiantreasures.com or whatsapp to 0229757766.

    • Which didgeridoo tone should I purchase?

      The best keys to start with are a low note between a C and an E note. A bamboo didgeridoo is highly recommended because of a nice low deep tone that is usually tuned to the key of D due to its length (120cm).

What did others think?

Our workshops have helped many people with
circular breathing and have been able to reduce snoring as a result.
