Trentham Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 you could substitute toilet rolls glued together in a long pipe...makes the same sound the wrapping was intended for. Some respect please. The didgerido is one of the oldest instruments on Earth made and used by the OLDEST culture on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevvy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 How do they make a traditional didgeridoo, anyway? I guess in the absence of bamboo, the aborigines had to come up with an ingenious alternative SC EDIT: or PVC pipe tree branch that was eaten by termites or burnt the inside with hot coals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply amazing how far and accurate they can be. Worth checking it out on youtube.What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick Edited October 22, 2013 by krisb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepers Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm guessing that this was a deliberate troll topic set up so that you had an excuse to swear at your fellows on the internet. Well, it's not big, and it's not clever. It just shows an embarrassing lack of vocabulary and wit. SC This sounds like a troll comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepers Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 While it may be sacrilegious to some, one can easily and cheaply make a very nice sounding didgeridoo from PVC pipe. I've seen and heard several of them and with your eyes closed you'd never know the difference between a real didge and the PVC pipe. Yeah I've made a few of these. Created 8 of them and sawed them at different lengths to get different notes. Then I glued them all to a frame with a lazy susan (think of a gatling gun) to move it around easily to play different notes. Not really practical, but it was a fun project.

ableguy Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 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! No but you should be able to buy a BONG any where over here, that may suffice Stuck on the side of every building leading from the gutter, night time can be got free.
