Concert Quality Yidaki from Australia
|
|
 Crafted by Djalu Gurruwiwi
 The red dot on the Australian map at left show where this instrument came from. Djalu made this sonically vibrant yidaki from a big stringy bark eucalyptus tree. The artwork
represents Gälpu clan designs that are very significant to his tribe. Djalu is the ceremonial
leader and senior lawman for the Gälpu clan, and is world renowned
for his crafting and playing skills. Instruments of excellent provenance
like this one are highly sought after. Crafted from termite hollowed eucalyptus in remote N.E. Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia.
The bell or distal end is very clear which increases volume, harmonics,
and clarity of tone. This one features a natural mouthpiece that's been sanitized
with Didgeri-Clean (tea tree and lavender oil). No beeswax needed. Well seasoned yidaki by Djalu are found on offer less and less these days. They are not only awesome to play, but a very good investment as well. |
