"Riddim In Afterburn"
Concert Quality Double-Drone Didgeridoo
|
|
 Crafted by Will Thoren
Just when you thought it was safe to say, "Yup, I play a didgeridoo", someone like Will comes along to see how low you can go! Low as in drone, that is. Very low... unfathomable even. So this is a "Yeti" didge made from a storm felled willow tree with a natural mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is made of layers of redwood, fir, and oak. It plays a normal drone in A, but you can drop a whole octave below that to low A on it, and the first horn toot is also in A! Watch the video below for a demo of this dynamic multi-drone didgeridoo being played.
This didge is customized for a new technique that Will, the Yeti himself, developed to play multiple drone notes. The basic technique involves dropping the fundamental drone or pitch of a didge an exact octave below what it normally is, whilst keeping the didgeridoo normal sized rather than 8 to 12 feet long. The concave mouthpiece conforms to your face for a perfect fit, and is slightly larger than most didge players are accustomed too, enabling better lip movement and control for advanced styles. Best of all, you can enjoy playing the normal drone whilst mastering the low drone!
What a ruggedly handsome didgeridoo this is, not to mention eco-friendly (being recycled from a storm felled tree). The bell or distal end is
very clear and open which increases volume, harmonics, and clarity of
tone. Solid, gorgeous
finish. Double resin coated inside
and out for enhanced sound quality,
luster and durability. Features a smooth and comfortable mouthpiece that's been sanitized
with Didgeri-Clean (tea tree and lavender oil). This
didgeridoo is
waterproof, unaffected by hot or cold
weather conditions, and very easy
to care for, no worries. |
Soundwise: Concert quality sound and playability. Will says, "This instrument was designed for an experienced player who is interested in playing with other musicians. The very high key of its normal drone begs to be played fast and is great for players who can keep their cheeks tight. This allows for punchy clarity of the harmonics. The bore this of this didge is relatively open which gives vocal projections power and clarity but calls for a little more air. The first low drone/octave drop is in the key of A which you would normally find on a 6-10 foot didgeridoo. The difference in playability of that low note on this short stick is mainly speed... this little rocket allows fast play in both the low range and the high range while staying in the key of A for three octaves." This is truly a fine, beautifully crafted instrument, and definitely one of a kind. Please don't hesitate to contact
