Key D, Length 136cm, Top diameter 5cm, Bottom diameter 16 X 13cm. This name says it all. This light didge is so satisfying to play that I am reluctant to let it go. It can be played very fast of as slow as desired. With a very “punchy” feel, this instrument is great for fast percussive rhythms. Effortless overtones enhance this. Vocal noises also come through with ease. When mixed with its high reed or drone note there are some interesting effects to be heard. Artwork includes three “hidden” eucalyptus leaves painted along the top half of this didge, hidden because they are not obvious at first glance. Twine binding has been placed where the instrument is most often held. (Price includes shipping and handling and is approximately equivalent to AUD$630.)
