I'm really in love with this didge. It's a very long gradual taper of dense hemlock with an oiled outer finish. I did epoxy the interior for the the extra power and clarity it would provide. It has an automatic play feature that makes being it's willing assistant so much fun. Crazy trumpet successions. Well balanced in every way. This should be a $750 didge but I've got a commitment to making the highest quality didges within my ability for affordable prices, as a service to musicians and to promote the growth of the didgeridoo community.
