Although this didge looks little, kind of like a toy, it's a toy like a Trojan Horse. There's nothing subtle in this didge at all. It's ultra loud for this size of bell, and can create overblown notes that are mindshatteringly powerfull. A high backpressure makes super quick percussive playing very easy, and the matching trumpet is very comfortable. Excellent choice for rock-n-roll and noisy drum jams. A lousy choice for apartment livers with paper thin walls, or for chillin' at the sauna.
