Trombone Didgeridoo, 1 Didg, Many Keys

Meinl has a new Trombone Didgeridoo which needs a little explaining. It's a didgeridoo which can vary in pitch like a slide trombone. From this one didgeridoo, you get the following keys:
G#, G, F#, F, E, D#, D, C#, C

This premium fiberglass didgeridoo has two sections: 1) the bell section; 2) the mouthpiece section, which slides into the bell section. You can slide the mouthpiece section all the way into the bell section or nudge it out to get the different keys. The mouthpiece section has painted marks indicating the keys. It can't get much easier to get various keys out of one didgeridoo, although it still takes quite a bit of skill to get sound of a didgeridoo due to the techniques required. The Trombone Didgeridoo measures from 36 inches to 62 inches. The Trombone Didgeridoo is black with exotic Australian style dot painting of a lizard and flowers:

Didgeridoo Making - How It Is Done

Didgeridoos from WorldMusicalInstruments.com are hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind instruments made by Tree Thump Didj Co. that not only create the unique didj buzz, but are also finished to last a long time. Here's a brief look at the didgeridoo production process of turning a tree branch into a beautiful, long-lasting musical instrument, the didgeridoo:


Tree branches are selected for the didgeridoo production process. These didgeridoos are made in Illinois, so are made from limbs of pine, poplar, or birch trees.


The bark is removed and the branch is shaped and sanded, then split in half, ready to be carved.




Branches are carved to specifications to create didgeridoos in various keys. After carving, the two halves are glued back together and coated inside with a protective resin and hung to dry.


A final sanding, then finishing artwork and/or stain are applied, followed by a glossy protective resin coating. What was once just a tree branch is now a custom didgeridoo!


Please note: Since the didgeridoos hang to dry, there may be some hardened resin drips at the bell of the didgeridoo as pictured here, which in no way impact the great didj buzz:
