Frequently asked questions

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.
Is a didgeridoo included in the didgeridoo course?
You can order a didgeridoo of your choice with the didgeridoo online course. Usually a cheap didgeridoo for beginners is chosen. But of course you can also opt for a wooden teak didgeridoo or professional mahogany didgeridoo. For the blowing technique on the didgeridoo, which one you choose does not matter that much.
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 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.
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
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!

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!
Where is the didgeridoo for sale?
These are for sale worldwide but of course also in our own webshop Australian Treasures
Where can I buy a didgeridoo online?
You can buy a didgeridoo in our didgeridoo online shop Australian Treasures. When you buy a didgeridoo including the online course, you get a discount on the complete course package. All our didgeridoos are tested by our didgeridoo experts. Check out the wide range of didgeridoos for beginners and advanced players at www.australiantreasures.com. With our didjes, you can also watch a demonstration video and hear and see how the didgeridoo sounds!
What did others think?
Our workshops have helped many people with
circular breathing and have been able to reduce snoring as a result.

Participated in one of the workshops. Was a great experience!

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) -
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.!

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

For me as a beginner it all worked very well, Thanks

Playing didgeridoo makes you fit! I am very tired after a day's work. But after practising on the didgeridoo, I have energy again! What a great instrument this is. I never thought blowing on a didgeridoo would take so little effort. Super happy.

Everything perfect. the product respond to the description, shipping is monitored from the start to the end, packaging is also good... 5 stars deserved.

Practising outside in the garden, I suddenly had an audience of 2 little birds, they didn't stay long, circular blowing through a straw is going great and it's already going smoother and better through the didgeridoo. Thanks Niels, your workshop provides a simple, effective approach that works very well and it feels healthy, didgeridoo playing.
Greetings, Heleen (participant of the one-day workshop) -
This spiral travel didgeridoo is absolutely magical. It is beautiful, and its weight makes it a strong instrument, while it’s not too heavy for your arms. This is the perfect companion for easy transport and, you can play it without making your arms tired, why not while walking ? The sky is the limit with this beauty. Oh, yes, a genuine long didgeridoo still sounds a little better in my opinion, but I am so excited and astonished that this sound gets so amazingly close from the traditional didge. It has a very good back pressure and the mouth piece is perfect. It plays extremely easily. This is the only version of a didgeridoo, where yourself as a player can hear how it sounds for the listener, because otherwise you’d need to record the sound with a normal didge and listen to it later. Long story short : I fell in love with it. It has become my favourite and it will never stop surprising me.
