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.
Can the didgeridoo cure sleep apnea?
Research has shown that playing the didgeridoo helps treat mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea. Both sleep apnea patients and their partners became less sleepy during the day and had less sleep disturbances at night.
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.

What does circular breathing mean?
Circular breathing is a breathing technique that allows you to breathe out CONTINUOUSLY while breathing in through your nose. With the didgeridoo, this continuous exhalation can be made audible. There is a constant exhalation making an infinite tone. With proper mastery, a long uninterrupted tone can easily be played for 15 minutes!
Can you play didgeridoo with a beard?
A beard makes it a bit more difficult to play - but it's certainly not impossible. You only get a more visible mark around your lips because you have to press harder to get a good seal.
Do didgeridoos have multiple tones?
Each didgeridoo has its own basic tone. This unique tone provides the basic tone and resonance that, in addition to the shape of the didgeridoo, is a major part of the sound. The most commonly used and loved keys are those between a C and an E tone. Our team at Australian Treasures are happy to advise you on choosing the right didgeridoo.

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.

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.

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)

If I play vigorously for an evening, for half an hour or so, I can get on with it for several days. Less trouble with some apnoea symptoms in the nose/throat and a lot more air! I have yet to figure out an optimum. Feeling fitter in the throat helps anyway. Greetings everyone

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?
Greetings Henk Poos (participant in one-day workshop)
