peepers Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Hey guys, this is my first post so If I goofed then my apologies. I'm looking to purchase a didgeridoo. For those that don't know it's a long tubular looking instrument made famous my the aboriginies in Australia. Anyone know where I can get one in Phuket?

Is there a quality bagpipes merchant in the Samutprakarn area? not sure about traditional scottish bag pipes, but believe you might find a Tsabouna in that area.. but the OP may be interested in a Hurdy Gurdy Edited October 19, 2013 by Soutpeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one of our fellows could offer him the monkey off his back, so long as it is not too well spanked. SC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post somchaismith Posted October 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2013 Call Rolf Harris and ask for his Didgeridoo. Where he's going, he won't be needing one for a while. He may even throw in his wobble board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevvy Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) the didgeridoo, perhaps the oldest musical instrument on earth.Possibly the world's oldest musical instrument. A wind instrument originally found in Arnhem Land, Northern Australia.Is made from limbs and tree trunks hollowed out by termites (insects).And cut to an average length of 1.3 metres and cleaned out with a stick. or hot coals.Was used as an accompaniment to chants and songs.Produces a low pitch, resonant sound with complex rhythmic patterns.Traditional various forms at the didgeridoo where found in Central Australia around Alice Springs.The Didgeridoo is the sound of Australia.If the earth had a voice it would be the sound of the Didgeridoo.I have one in my home now (A real one ) you don't need a $500 didgeridoo to learn how to play. Because any hollow cylinder of sufficient length and diameter can be played as a didgeridoo. Plastic or metal pipe, bamboo, electrical conduit, toilet cardboard tubes, even vacuum-cleaner handles.I dont know if you have ever palyed one but it is all about breathing.Something that takes alot of time to master. Have a good blow.... So as you see you dont need a real didgeridoo to get started. Edited October 19, 2013 by kevvy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1dna Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Interesting request. My folks have two of those things and they are fun to fool around with. I managed to make the sound come out right but could never master the circular breathing required for non stop play. Only one breath at a time. They bout them in the states from a performed and as I recall, the were about $800 each and this was probably 15 years ago. Never heard one or saw one for sale on Phuket though. But the PVC tube with a wax ring at the top sounds like it might work? Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepers Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 When I first saw my post had 24 replies, I was quite excited. Finally, somebody knows where I can purchase one... And then, to my chagrin, I realized that this board was filled with a bunch of <deleted>. But, I digress... I've been playing the didgeridoo for a while, I've mastered circular breathing. I'm only intersted in purchasing a didgeridoo, not any other wacky instruments you guys find humerous to mention. I have built pvc didgeridoos in the past, and I could settle for one again. Does anyone know where I might be able to pick up some pvc pipe in phuket? Only looking for genuine answers. I appreciate any valid responses. Thanks!

While my post didnt give the OP a pointer to where to buy a Didge in Phuket I have to object to being called an Arse for what I thought was a completely valid suggestion which i didnt mean in a frivolous or p*ss taking way now as far as I'm concerned he can take whatever he decides to use and shove it up his own Arse and go whistle a merry tune he wont get any more help from me ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
