Beginner Didgeridoos




I craft beginner didgeridoos out of ABS. Because ABS is a plastic, it is water proof and it won't crack. This style of didge is ideal for beginners as it is very affordable and requires almost zero maintenance.They come in different colors and different keys. They have a proper beeswax mouthpiece to ensure a proper seal and feel for playing. I have painted each one of these didges myself. Drop me an email If you're interested in one. Check out the video above to see and hear a demo of these types of didges.


The cost of each one is $40 and along with that you will receive a free copy of my didgeridoo music CD called, "Tree Limbs" which even has a bonus CD ROM video feature on it.

Shipping within Canada and the US is $20. This is your best value for a good karma didge ;)



These didges are awesome!!

Double Player Didgeridoo

This is a double player didgeridoo. It is a stringy bark eucalyptus all naturally bored by termites.





This Log came from Cairns, Australia and was crafted by me in Byron Bay, Australia.

Playing the lighter side mouthpiece will give you a low B while covering the other mouthpiece. The very unusual thing about this didgeridoo that I have never seen before is that while droning with a loose lip tension, you will get a B but tighten up the lip tension and your drone will magically jump up to a D. Uncover the other mouthpiece and the key is C
Flip the didge around and reverse the mouthpieces, playing the darker side, and you will get D covered and C# uncovered. It really needs to be played to be experienced.

It's an excellent player, being rich in tone, loud, and fairly easy to sound with descent back pressure. A double player didge is pretty uncommon and normally costs a fortune to buy and then another fortune to have shipped to you; but not today............
Here's your chance to grab yourself an amazing instrument at a fraction of the price, I promise. The cheapest I've seen these didges go for is $700....usually $1000 and then another $200-$300 for shipping from Australia.
Buy it here for only: $580

Here's a video of myself on youtube where I demo this didge:





This didge is even naturally sealed on the inside with pure beeswax giving it a wonderful smell.



Didgeridoos




This didge is a very high quality instrument and is very unique and precious as a piece of art.

It is crafted in Darwin, Australia by a very well known and respected didge maker named Robbie Hantelmann of 'stix didgeridoos'. Robbie's didgeridoos maintain a worlwide reputation for quality. He has also attained a legal permit that grants him permission to cut trees in designated areas in Australia.

The art on this didge was painted by Priscilla Nagammara Escobar of the desert region of Ausrtalia. She has painted her famous Geckos on this didge and she was comissioned her fair wage to do so which is sadly not always the case.
I purchased it in Darwin in the Canadian summer of 2006 from Mark Robinson of 'spirit didgeridoos' to whom Robbie is a supplier of. Mark is one of the best modern didge players and has been around the globe performing and doing workshops. He has a deep respect and admiration for the culture that this insturment comes from and is well liked in his community.

This didge is a perfect C# and toots in an F, (the 'toot' is the horn sound).
It is 5' and 1" tall. It has a bell end circumfrance of 2' and a mouth end of 1' .
I have posted a video on youtube so that you can see and hear it.





This didge is valued at $1100 plus another $300 went in to having it shipped in a custom injected foam box for transport which is included with the sale. When the artists pass away, the value of this piece will continue to go up.
The cost of this didgeridoo is $850
