Making and Playing a Didgeridoo

Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Tall Paul (Paul Cook) shares his passion for all things didgeridoo - explaining the principles of making these wonderful wind instruments and how choice of timber (from beech to eucalyptus) effects sound quality - creating varying tones, reverberations and volume. Tall Paul also demonstrates the specific playing methods and circular breathing techniques needed to produce the distinctive didgeridoo sound - all at the Bentley Woodfair http://www.bentley.org.uk/

Making my own didges but your ones are masterfully crafted!
..search on youtube for the sound of the Romanian Carpathian horn (search this: "Arieseni,muntii apuseni" or "Death announcement bucium"). It sounds quite similary with a didge, and it's played similarly. That instrument is documented since millennia as well (pre-Roman history).
Hi Florin – there was many horns for many millenia (swiss alps sheperds made massive ones) yes but no Didgeridoo. The argument we have with Paul is that he claims an actual Didgeridoo (split in half tree trunk glued back together) was found when it was not – Paul is confusing it with early examples of Uillean Pipes found in a bog (which were not split) We talk here about a specific instrument not general wind instruments. The Didgeridoo is not like other horns. Thanks for your interest though.
Didgeridoo is a brass then since you blow it with your lips like a giant trumpet.
lewis i thought we got on well when we met i certainly didn't say you were encroaching on my business it was i didge festival ,why on earth would i be against you bringing your instruments?

It was the Loughnashade bronze war trumpet
