PRODIDJAS DIDJERIDU'S

Specialising in authentic termite hollowed didjeridus
 
 
 
The didjeridu or the Australian Indigenous Yidaki is possibly one of the oldest wind instruments in the world. The didjeridu consists of a tree branch or trunk usually eucalyptus such as Mulga, Wandu, Bloodwood, Mallee or Woolybutt which is hollowed out by termites (white ants) and shaped by the forces of nature. As a result of this extraordinary process, each and every didjeridu is unique unto itself in shape, tone and character. Another magnificent feature of the didjeridu is the sounds made using your own voice, tongue, cheeks and lips to create noises such as calls, hoots, screams, grunts, horns and other unique sounds.

The Indigenous Aboriginal people are able to perfectly mimic the surrounding sounds of birds, animals and nature. By using the technique of Circular Breathing (which is clearly explained in Prodidjas Didjeridu's "How to Play Booklet", which is included with every didjeridu purchased), you can keep the noises flowing continuously. In this style, the technique consists of blowing the fundamental noise with loosely vibrating lips. The pitch will vary according to the length, wall thickness, shape and the inner diameter of the didjeridu. A rim of beeswax may be applied to the mouth end of the didjeridu to form a tight comfortable sealing mouth piece.

The didjeridu was used by the Australian Indigenous males in sacred traditional ceremonies, story telling, musical pleasure and healing. The didje was seen as a very important part of ceremonies and although most boys learnt to play from an early age, the virtuso player is recognised and highly admired among his peers. When played, the didje can create a stree free relaxing meditative state for both the player and the listener.
