Frequently asked questions

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

    • 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.

    • 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!

    • How long does it take to master circular breathing?

      That is different, but with regular practice you can learn circular breathing within a few days.

    • What does circular breathing mean?

      Circular breathing is a breathing technique that allows you to continuously exhale while inhaling through your nose. With the didgeridoo this continuous exhalation can be made audible. There is a constant exhalation through which an infinite tone sounds. With good control, a long continuous tone of 15 minutes can be played with ease!

    • How is the didgeridoo played?

      On the didgeridoo you blow on a mouthpiece with an opening of about 3 cm diameter. Putting your mouth against the mouthpiece and vibrating your lips produces the didgeridoo's basic tone.

    • 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      The didjeridu, also spelled didgeridu, didge, titjeridoe or didjeridoo is a musical instrument originally made from a hollow tree branch of eucalyptus wood and have an average length of 120cm – 180cm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 the purchase of an online didgeridoo course against snoring or apnea reimbursed by the health insurance fund?

      A course against snoring or apnea (OSAS) is usually (partially) reimbursed. In any case, you will always receive an invoice with a description of your purchase. In any case, check with your health insurer!

    • 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.

    • Does a compact travel didgeridoo or spiral didgeridoo sound the same as a normal didgeridoo?

      Yes it has the same low tone as a normal didge. The long tube that guarantees a low tone is 'rolled up' into a spiral, so to speak. Or, as with the special travel didge, 'folded' into a zigzag shape inside a wooden box. Moreover, you can easily take these didjes to lessons, performances or when you travel and still want to do your didge exercises!

What did others think?

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