The sound is very soothing and it speaks to me. It has a relaxing quality to it. I also have been collecting musical instruments and have added a 36" musical saw accordion and such to my collection.

Hugo from France

I was always interested about the nature and the roots of the world and humanity. As a musician evidently came to the didgeridoo first as as instrument. But when I searched for information about the didgeridoos I found a lot more than an instrument: a whole new world was waiting for me; a world about the origins of the humanity and about its link with the nature. So the Didgeridoos interest me as a complete magnificent instrument that links humanity to the nature the Earth the Universe.

Ian Gregory from Australia

My Grandfather first introduced me to Didgeridoos and ever since that day I have loved listening to them along with being intrigued in the Aboriginal culture in which they represent.
