I just picked this up on a trade-in from someone that got it off e-bay for a song and a dance. I take my own didges on trade-ins. When you buy a Chad Butler didge you're buying into a future of satisfaction. This one was very well taken care of and plays excellent. Although the topend seems fairly open it's actually quite snappy, and the solid construction gives a deep timbre for such a high didge. It can be played slow and harmonic or heavy and hard with powerfull overblowns and bright trumpets. Excellent harmonic and vocal projection. A great choice for accoustic jams where you'll really appreciate the volume and power potential.
