About this instrument:
This Agave didgeridoo has a size and shape ideal for a well rounded, versatile playing instrument. It has strong back pressure, clear harmonics and a nice overall tone. Plenty of resonant bass frequencies to feel without clouding the clarity of the mid to high frequencies. The medium size bore diameter allows for nice vocal response as well. A great didge for beginner to advanced level playing that can accommodate a variety of styles. Beautiful and comfortable walnut, paduk bass wood mouthpiece with a chrysocolla inlay towards to the bell end. Chyrsocolla is first and foremost a stone of communication. Its very essence is devoted to expression, empowerment and teaching..
Crafting technique:
I harvested this agave stalk in the south west region of the U.S.. When I harvest Agave, its a very important time and experience for me. It not only gives me the opportunity to explore the desert in search of prime Didgeridoo stalks, but also allows for personal spiritual connectedness throughout the entire crafting process. I only harvest Agave that is finished with its cycle and spent. I also spread any seeds left in the pods to help with the regeneration of the plant. I carefully hollow out the didge with a bore and burn technique. I use some home made tools, chisels, rasps, drill bits and fire..
I finish all of my instruments inside and out with a high quality, zero VOC epoxy resin. This finish is non toxic when cured and has virtually no out gassing. This is the most durable, longest lasting finish to use. Its waterproof too. After the finish cures, I fine sand the exterior and hand polish the instrument using either oils and polishing compounds or a wipe on poly.
Tuning:
I personally tune all of the didgeridoos I make and always attempt to tune them as close to “perfect” pitch as possible. However, there are many variables that can effect the tuning even after the didge is finished, such as ambient temperature, humidity, climate and the players technique. Therefore I cannot guarantee the didgeridoo I sell will remain in its advertised tuning when its received.
