    • 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.

    • 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      The didjeridu, also spelled didgeridu, didge, titjeridoe or didjeridoo is a musical instrument originally made from a hollow tree branch of eucalyptus wood and have an average length of 120cm – 180cm

    • 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.

    • 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 1 tone, it is not a melody (wind) instrument. -On the didgeridoo you use the circular breathing technique. -The didgeridoo produces many more vibrations than other wind instruments

    • I am a beginner and want a didgeridoo with a low tone, which one should I choose?

      For beginners who want to buy a cheap didgeridoo with a low tone, we recommend a bamboo didgeridoo. These didgeridoos have a nice, low, deep, round bass tone. Most bamboo didgeridoos have a nice low D note and blow very easily. Compact didgeridoos are also very good!

    • 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).

    • 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.

    • Can children also learn to play didgeridoo?

      Yes, everyone young and old can play didgeridoo and learn circular breathing.

    • 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.

What did others think?
