Frequently asked questions

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

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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!

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Why is the didgeridoo important to aboriginal culture?

      The didgeridoo is an Aboriginal instrument that has traditionally been important in Aboriginal ceremonies. The didgeridoo was mainly part of the Aboriginal culture to tell their stories and to get in touch with the spirit world.

    • 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).

    • 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.

    • 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.

circular breathing and have been able to reduce snoring as a result.
