I really didn't know much about the didj until Yootha Yindi bought out their hit single "Treaty". The didj provided the sound necessary for the song and I have since been in love with the didj sound. It makes me feel all shivery and warm. |

Physically; emotionally; mentally uplifting. |
| Chris MOander from USA |
It is one of the few sounds I have ever found that really reaches inside of me. When my friend brought a didj back from Australia (a real one; mind you); I could not get enough playing time in. In essence; the sound of a nice didj is satisfying down to my core and allows me to release all my stresses and negative emotions. |

Didge played from the soul has the power to reconnect me to the planet |
| David Cibulka from USA |
The didj has a unique sound that is pleasing as well as exotic. I like to find places that resonate well; like a natural bowl or lake pothole. The sound can be truly hypnotic. Add a pair of click sticks and create and fly with the music. |

it's a natural sound... a meditative sound... no one else I know or have even come close to has one... I'd like it for that and for meditation; personal time. |
| Dennie Mildfeldt from USA |
A very soothing sound. Almost takes me into a trance type state. |
| Di Lyall from New Zealand |
Trancelike. I was in a nightclub once where some really annoying techno music had just finished and the live band started with a solo didj. The whole club stopped and listened. It was mesmerizing. I would love to give one a try. My family is musical; but none of us have ever tried or owned a didjeridu. |
| Doug Murray from USA |
I don't think of anything else. I live a high stress life; and the sound of the didj let's me focus on core concerns; not peripherals. |

Provokes contemplative awareness. And it's not that I "don't care" how it's played or don't think some of the above questions are important. It all depends on the context; the people; the situation. |
| James Spencer from Ireland |
As a 'non- aboriginal' Australian living abroad; the sound instills a deep sense of my homeland; a connection to the Aboriginal people; their culture; history and nature itself. An amazing sense of pride when people immediately associate the sound with Australia. It is a sound and association I would be honoured to be able to be a part of by owning and learning to play a didjeridu. |
| Jason Dean from USA |
calming; yet powerful |

It gives you that "lovin' feeling; ooh ooh that lovin' feelin'..." |
| Jeremy Turner from England |
Some people turn to alcohol after a hard day. I turn to my didj! I find it extremely de-stressing and relaxing. It can uplift my mood when I'm feeling down or if I'm already feeling good; it rewards my good feelings with a musical interpretation of my upbeat mood. Discovering the didj was amongst the best things to ever happen to me; it's a pity it took me 43 years to discover it ! |

riveting and captivating |
| Joel Seipel from USA |
I enjoy playing my didjeridu at night outdoors. I try to find a peaceful place where I am separated from the modern world and am surrounded by nature. When I feel like it is the right time to play my didjeridu I just play whatever comes to mind and I try to make up as many sounds as possible. I find it a very good way to relax and I always feel content and at peace with myself and my surroundings when I play. My didjeridu is homemade and I take pride in it every time I play; my music is my own and I love the spiritual feeling of playing the didjeridu. |

Oh man; there is nothing like it. The first time I heard a didj it went straight to my soul and really moved me. I had to find out what it was and get one. So I myself could learn how to produce the awesome sound of the didj. There is no other instrument that can compare; it truly is awesome! |
| Nicholas Berger from USA |
The didj is an expression of my emotional state at the time I play it. It is a release and a creative outlet. |

The Best |
| Pei Chen from Taiwan |
When I play the didj; I feel warm and peaceful. The sound can purify my soul. I cannot live without it. So I play it everyday. I don't think myself as a musician; but I do perform in many places. In Taiwan; nobody can play the didj. I think I am the only one can do that; so I perform in many different places to introduce it to more Taiwanese people. Usually people look at me with incredible looks. I quite enjoy those kind of looks. I think didjs are not easy for girls to play; but I can do it. It makes me feel special. And I think I got a gift. After 5 days; I already can do circular breathing. I learn it by myself; and I am very proud of that. |

I find it to be a great sound to simply sit and think to and let my mind wander. I have a thing for ancient music; I guess you could say.. It's just very inspiring and thought-provoking for me. And it also sounds very cool. ;] |
| Robby Barrier from USA |
It is completely mesmerizing to me. |
