"Dhuwala Burwu"
Concert Quality Yidaki from Australia
|
|
 Master crafted yidaki (N.E. Arnhem Land, Australia)
 The red dot on the Australian map at left shows the region where this didgeridoo came from. The name of this yidaki, "Dhuwala Burwu", means stringybark tree which is the species of eucalyptus that it's made from. This exceptional yidaki was acquired from a private collection, and whilst I'm fairly certain I know who crafted it, I'm holding off saying unless I can suss that out for sure through my resources. Having said that, know that this instrument was crafted by a veteran with many years of experience. The classic shape, natural mouthpiece, conical bore and big bell end deliver exactly what you're looking for in a traditional instrument, especially if you play hard tongue rhythms! The wood is very well seasoned (it's about 7 years old) yet there's not a single scratch on it anywhere. Painted with a combination of natural ochres (earth pigments) and acrylic polymers. Crafted from naturally termite hollowed eucalyptus in remote N.E. Arnhem Land at the top of Australia's Northern Territory. The interior bore is very clear and open which increases volume, harmonics, and clarity of tone. Natural mouthpiece, no beeswax needed, sanitized with Didgeri-Clean (tea tree and lavender oil). |
Soundwise: Concert quality sound and playability that belongs in any serious
player's collection. The first trumpet toot is warm and matches the drone in E. The overblown note is
very stable making it easy to incorporate into rhythms. It offers grinding vocals and blunt distortion
effects. This ruggedly handsome yidaki is
gonna keep you home from work (sorry mate, but who's gonna blame 'ya?)
It
responds to the slightest pressure changes and offers up beaty hard tongue riddims with ease. The sonics are perfectly gruff and the
balance leans toward the mid range frequencies. It is very loud and likes
to play moderate to upbeat tempos. I personally prefer lower
pitched instruments, but sometimes a DEADLY stick like this one comes
along and reminds you how much fun it is to play riddims that truly shred!
This is a SUPERIOR, INVESTMENT QUALITY yidaki crafted from well seasoned
timber. Please don't hesitate to contact
