Title: Didgeridoo wanted
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on January 25, 2012, 09:50:14 pm: Hey guys, i am wanting a natural materials digeridoo or a nice piece of giant yucca or giant rivercane (bamboo) so i can make one. I like to play one but all I have is a junky pvc one, sounds good but ugly and no "primitive" anyone have any suggestions?

if anyone has a real authentic didgeridoo, like, hollowed out wood with character and a bell on the end, i would gladly trade a bow for it.

Do you drill out the 'partitions' as soon as you cut it? I have been told that ill help cut down on the cracking.
