  • today i recieved a parcel from australia it was a didgeridoo..

    Real didgeridoos are a beautiful combination of natural processes and an artist's touch. These pieces of timber are found in the outback of Australia and have been hollowed out by termites. They are then cut to size, stripped of bark and hand painted with authentic aboriginal designs. Each piece comes with a card giving the type of wood, the area of Australia where it was made, and the artist's name. Although these are beautiful display pieces, they are also fully functional musical instruments. The waxed mouthpiece is easy on your mouth, and the size and shape are proper for a true playing didgeridoo. Free instructional booklet with each didgeridoo. 34 to 36 long, hand painted on a colorful painted background.
