As a crafter, or as a dreamer, it's easy to get lured into dramatic shapes, be they big bells, curves, impressive length, whatever. I would have to say that this instrument represents my version of a masterpiece for the type of playing characteristics and tonal qualities it presents. It's a straight delivery no nonsense concert quality instrument. It follows in the inspiration from a didge that Ondrej Smeykal and I made together, which became one of his most trusted performing instruments. The balance provided by the gently tapering air column gives it amazing compliance to your direction. It has a huge range. Rousable with barely a whisper, and capable of stirring up a serious storm, this amazing instrument does it all with a beautiful comfort.
