Similar to an oboe or bassoon; double reed instruments. Makes sense because of using both lips. However there seems to be more resonance or fullness to the didj. |

A sound that takes you back into the arms of mother nature soft wind that expresses her emotion and a lullaby to soften your anger calm your senses and awaken your soul. The name seems to have originated in 1919 in a journal Smiths Weekly and was called an infernal didjerry which has one sound. |

One of the most interesting eerie sounds ever to come out of an instrument. It ranges from a soft hum to a loud drone. From low pitch to a high pitch. No other instrument compares to its unique sound. Adding vocalizations contributes to this as well. |

| Marc from USA |
Sort of base horn-like. I do not know the actual terminology of music. But I like the Doggie MacLean song with the didj in it called "Tumbling Down." My favorite didj song is one that's just music. I hear it now and then on Celtic music stations but I can't remember the name or artist off the top of my head. In both those songs the didj sounds to me like a sort of deep bellowing type of horn which ebbs and flows. |

A beautiful ancient sounds which let's you the listener feel connected to dreamtime. The drone produced is soothing hypnotic and healing. A didj played in the modern style can be exciting and produces a far greater richness to music than say a bass guitar. |
