Aussie Annie Posted April 28, 2011 #1 Posted April 28, 2011 Well, we have the didg now. Alan has started watching the DVD and doing the exercises to strengthen his cheek muscles So, puff up your cheeks full of air, then slowly push it out through a small hole in the lips [as if your are whistling] Push out under pressure...your cheeks will ache as if you have laughed too much. Maybe practise using the vaccuum cleaner hose :rotf::rotf:
Aussie Annie Posted April 29, 2011 Author #3 Posted April 29, 2011 Certainly am!! Got the padded carry bag too. Will cart the thing all over the states!
Daveand Barbie Posted April 29, 2011 #4 Posted April 29, 2011 Ah yes.....learning the circular breathing technique. I bought mine when I was in Sydney for the Royal Easter Show in 1999. Being a pro trumpet player, I learned circular breathing a long time ago. Be careful of the customs clowns if you are coming through LAX. They just HAD to open mine up and in the process, beat both ends of it up and then lost it. Took 3 weeks for them to locate it......

Condor Posted April 29, 2011 #7 Posted April 29, 2011 Geez, has everybody got one I'm not even going to comment on this..... :rotf:
Lone Eagle Posted May 1, 2011 #9 Posted May 1, 2011 Condor, you sending that out to Cody?? We could have a contest at the closing dinner ...... just sayin..................
Condor Posted May 1, 2011 #10 Posted May 1, 2011 Condor, you sending that out to Cody?? We could have a contest at the closing dinner ...... just sayin.................. Nah... No contest.. Haven't got the Lip flappy thing down yet.... but I'm working on it. Love the sound they put out. The one I have is original but more a souvenier than a player. Check this guy out if you want to take a lesson. He's good... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzqZDNalBCk]DIGERIDOO[/ame]
Aussie Annie Posted May 2, 2011 Author #11 Posted May 2, 2011 Does your didg have a bee's wax mouth piece?? It closes off the end a bit better, and you keep a seal with lips on it better. Let me know if you want me to get you one. They last for about a year...or until they go hard.

Let me know if you want me to get you one. They last for about a year...or until they go hard. I ain't touching this one neither....... But yeah, a real Oz bee's wax ring would be neat. Let me know what I'd owe ya.... Actually the whole didg would be cool too. Here they's make 'm out of PVC drain pipes. Not the greatest. I have no idea, but what would one of those like the guys playing in the video go for?? That thing has a great sound. Mine sounds like I'm playing a 2x4.....
