Frequently asked questions

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

    • 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.

    • How do you make your own didgeridoo?

      You can easily make a didgeridoo yourself from a PVC tube. Sometimes you don't have to do anything about it and a PVC pipe that you can buy at a hardware store is enough. The ideal length for a homemade didgeridoo is about 130cm. This length gives you a low didgeridoo tone. You can even give the tube a nice shape by heating the PVC tube and bending it to give the didgeridoo a nice branch shape. If necessary, make a beeswax mouthpiece on the didgeridoo and paint the didgeridoo with acrylic paint for a nice end result.

    • 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!

    • 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.

    • Where can I buy a beginner didgeridoo and the course?

      When purchasing the didgeridoo lessons, you can also purchase a didgeridoo and, for example, a didgeridoo bag. This will be sent to your address together with the login code for the course! The course is available in no less than 7 languages ​​and we ship the course and didgeridoo worldwide! You can purchase the course at workshops.australiantreasures.com

    • 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 children also learn to play didgeridoo?

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

    • Does a didgeridoo playing course work well against snoring and sleep apnoea (OSAS)?

      Scientific research has shown that didgeridoo playing strengthens the throat muscles and can therefore significantly reduce snoring and lower the number of apnoea breathing stops. Of course, it is important to keep doing the exercises but, as mentioned earlier, you can do the circular breathing exercises anywhere.

    • 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!
