fuzzychicken- if you're a cheap ass like me, buy some pvc. look anywhere on the internet for lengths. the lengths control the pitch (43in/2in plays "c")
i have one in bamboo and it plays D, bought it for about $20.00 (canadian eh?)
google "didjeridoo" and you'll find LOTS of resources..
but the best thing is for you to find a friend who has one and learn with him |

Thanx for the help, I don't really know anyone that plays one. Yeah I herd about making them out of PVC and there are websites to show you. I was wondering if there is a really good book or site that you reccomend for learning. There is a class at my university that teaches you to play and shows you how to make one, I think. I should check it out. All my friends kinda laugh at me when I say I want to get a digeridoo. :tongue2

I tried a couple years ago ... even built myself a huge one out of bamboo but then trying to play is kind of a pain ...
Could never past the circular breathing part :( |

There was this guy in the NYC subway a few years ago, don't know if he still does it, he was awesome. Can't remember his name, but I saw him on TV once, his music was pretty cool.
I tried playing it once, kinda fun I must say... |

Have a listen to Xavier Rudd.
He's an Australian musician who plays blues/folk music similar to Jack Johnson.
He also incorporates the Didgeridoo into many of his songs, and it actually sound really good. :D :D
P.S. I used to think that the track Junk Project - The Red Series had a didgeridoo in it, when actually it is more like acid from teh 303 :p
P.P.S Xavier Rudd actually plays in BC quite often :p I know he has played in Vancouver and Whistler a few times..... |

No, I'm not really that much into it, sorry, but yeah, it's fun. I once heard a didjeriddo player with a jazz band. Exotic.
However, it sounds like "digested" in Portuguese. |
