Since that day I have commented myself to learning to play better and learning everything I can about the didgeridoo. In my youth work I am currently teaching young people how to play. I think that the sound ambience the art of playing it and the mysticism that surrounds the ancient instrument has captivated me and I wish to share that with as many people as I can.

I first started playing several different brass instruments and when I came across the didgeridoo at a town festival the thing that interested me the most was the sound it produced and its origins. After doing some research on it I found it fascinating on how the different sounds and pitches are created. After buying a cheap bamboo one and trying to learn how to play and pick up things on my own. It soon became an instrument that I enjoyed playing and wanted to learn more.

Nick from USA

I'm interested in didgeridoos because of the fact that unlike other instruments there are no keys or strings to manipulate the sounds; it's more like a crazy extension of the vocal tract and I also like the relationship one develops with their instrument while they play it--the responses from a didgeridoo are really symbiotic with the player.

Nicolás Harambour from Argentina

I love to meditate and I found that the didjeridu sound..similar to the "om" can take me to a very relaxed state of being. Later on I learnt how to play the didjeridu so now I'm into it as a musical instrument.
