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.
No sound comes out of my didgeridoo, is my didgeridoo broken?
If you can't blow the basic note on your didgeridoo it may indicate a leak, crack or hole in your didgeridoo. However, you can easily repair your didgeridoo with beeswax. If you find a crack or hole near the mouthpiece, it will be difficult to get any sound out of your didgeridoo. A crack or hole at the end or bell of the didgeridoo will have little or no effect on the didgeridoo sound. The solution is to plug the leak which you can do very simply with beeswax. The advantage of beeswax is that it moves with the contraction and expansion of the didgeridoo's wood. Moreover, Australian aborigines also repair their didgeridoos in this traditional way
How do you play a didgeridoo?
On the didgeridoo you blow on a mouthpiece, possibly with beeswax, with an opening of about 3 cm diameter. Placing your mouth against the mouthpiece and vibrating your lips produces the basic didgeridoo tone. Didgeridoo playing is not difficult. Most get a sound out of the didgeridoo within 10 minutes

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.
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 is the didgeridoo for sale?
These are for sale worldwide but of course also in our own webshop Australian Treasures

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.
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.
In which languages is the online course available?
The workshop is available in 7 languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.
What did others think?
Our workshops have helped many people with
circular breathing and have been able to reduce snoring as a result.

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.!

Hi Niels,
In November I went on a course with you in Beets, which was an enjoyable experience and left me with great memories, but more importantly I got rid of my apnoea nicely!In my conversation this morning with the pulmonologist, I mentioned that I took the course with you and that I use CBD oil daily. Whether it is the combination or because of either, I don't know, but I am nicely rid of it. From 30 apnoeas to 1!But I was also surprised by the doctor's attitude, because he was more than interested and asked me if I would email your details and for the address where I get my CBD. Because as he indicated, I regularly experience people who cannot get used to the cpap, so maybe we can help them with this.I think this is a development I'd like to share with you and should more applications come to you from the south, you'll know what it might be due to. Always nice to hear. Right?

Wow - 2 weeks on and I just blew a minute-long session for the first time. Sound during inhalation and exhalation is not the same yet, but I was able to smooth that out nicely in the rhythm. So the circular breathing is coming along nicely!
