What
is a Didgeridoo?
The
didgeridoo is a wind instrument traditionally
made from the trunk of termite hollowed
eucalyptus trees from Australia (like
the one pictured below). They average
about 4 to 5 feet in length, and are
played by vibrating your lips into
the top end of the instrument which
creates a deep humming drone.
The
didgeridoo is a rhythm instrument,
so you play "beats" instead
of melodic songs. Play at your own speed as well; quiet or loud, fast or slow, and soon you'll develop your own style. There are no "rules" or complex memorization. This makes learning the instrument
very intuitive, so you don't need any musical training to enjoy playing the
didgeridoo straight away. It also
doesn't require "power"
from your lungs like other wind
instruments. The didgeridoo is played
with gently vibrating lips, voice, and tongue movement,
not lung power. You won't believe how quickly you can learn this and how much fun it can be.

Buying
a Didgeridoo (Things you should know)
Buying
a didgeridoo should be fun, but one sniff at the didgeridoo
pages here on eBay can make your head spin. There
are endless choices, bad photos, and very misleading descriptions. Urban Dingo is different in every way. First, didgeridoos and related gear are all we sell. Why buy a didgeridoo from someone also selling things like gag gifts or home decor. To them the didgeridoo is just another doohickey. Second, we are didge players ourselves and we're available LIVE on the phone to help you during normal business hours before and after your purchase. Think about
it this way... if you wanted to
get serious about learning to play
drums, would you shop for one at
a toy store because they're cheaper
than the music shop? How much joy
and encouragement would you get
from a toy drum? Same with a didgeridoo. You can find cheaper didgeridoos
elsewhere, but you get what you
pay for, mate. Here at Urban Dingo you won't have to
stretch your budget to receive better quality.
When
selecting a didgeridoo for a beginner
there are two things to keep in
mind: pitch and portability.
While the word pitch is
the correct term for the soundwave
or drone of a didgeridoo, the word key has become the most
common expression among didgeridoo
players. Both words mean the same
thing. A didgeridoo has only one
pitch, so you play rhythm rather
than melody. The common pitch range
for didgeridoos is from high A to
low A. Beginners should pick a didgeridoo
somewhere in the middle of this
scale like C, C#, D or D#.
As
far as size goes, buying a large
didgeridoo because it's within your
budget may not be a bargain at all.
In fact, didgeridoos over 5 feet
long and/or heavy didgeridoos over
8 lbs could actually discourage
a beginner from practicing. The
pitch may be too high or too low,
and if it's very heavy, the instrument
will be left behind on camping trips,
a visit to friends, or a jam session
with other musicians. The size of
the player is much less
important, as even a six year old can pick up the basic sounds straight
away.

playing techniques, including circular
breathing, animal sounds and building
rhythms. At
60 minutes in length this DVD

Making a Mouthpiece, Achieving
a Clear Tone, Varying the Tone,
Making Animal Sounds, 3 Steps

Rhythms, Advanced Rhythms and
more. You can find this DVD brand new right here on eBay for as little as $17 (regularly $24.95), and we can combine shipping with our other items so you'll save even more!
Didgeridoo Mouthpieces and Your Health
You
won't find mention of this on most
other didgeridoo websites (although
they should). A concern about clean
didgeridoo mouthpieces began with
my very first trip to Australia.
I had gone there to suss out contacts
with Aboriginal artists and didgeridoo
crafters from the Central Desert
to the coast of Arnhem Land. I also found
gift shops filled with low quality souvenir didgeridoos, and
folks were always trying to play
them, including me! I started carrying
disposable alcohol wipes, and then
did some research about germs, viruses
and antigens just to educate myself
and our customers.
Truth be told, most folks rarely clean their
mouthpieces
and never get sick by sharing them. Still, we disinfect all of our mouthpieces with a product we call Didgeri-Clean. It contains tea tree oil (a natural
antiseptic) and lavender oil, so
your new didgeridoo will arrive
clean, fresh, and ready to rumble! You can
also purchase Didgeri-Clean from us right here on eBay. You'll save money and we can combine shipping.
We're
always here to help
Please
feel free to contact us if you want
help in selecting a didgeridoo from
eBay or our website. We can play the didgeridoos
for you over the phone, and give you
advice about an instrument that will perfectly

We want to win you over and keep you stoked about the didgeridoo.

the Didgeridoo works to relieve
Snoring and Sleep Apnea. Just click on video at left to play.
Sleep Apnea Relieved by Didgeridoo Playing Below are links to some of the medical and news articles, and don't forget to watch the BBC video above featuring the lead researcher, Dr. Milo Puhan, and his colleagues. Let us introduce you to the didgeridoo, what it is, how easily it's played, and why this is the best didgeridoo for Sleep Apnea therapy.
The British
Medical Journal, PubMed, Science
Daily, ABC
News, Discovery and Men's
Health magazines,
as well as the Apnea
Support Forum have articles reviewing the health
benefits that playing a didgeridoo
can offer those suffering with sleep
apnea and snoring. Many were kind
enough to mentionus as the place to go for didgeridoos,
and we're very appreciative. The original
article was on the Reuters news service, and here is how it read:
Regular didgeridoo playing reduces snoring and daytime sleepiness, finds a study published by the British
Medical Journal.
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome are common sleep disorders
caused by the collapse of the upper airways. Reports
of didgeridoo players experiencing reduced daytime sleepiness and
snoring after practicing, led experts in Switzerland to test the theory
that training of the upper airways by didgeridoo playing can improve
these disorders. They identified 25 patients with moderate obstructive
sleep apnea syndrome and who complained about snoring. Patients were
randomly allocated to an intervention group (didgeridoo lessons and
daily practice at home for four months) or a control group (remained on
a waiting list for lessons). Compared with the control group, daytime
sleepiness and apnea scores improved significantly in the didgeridoo group. Partners of patients in the didgeridoo group also reported much less sleep disturbance. The
authors conclude that regular training of the upper airways by
didgeridoo playing reduces daytime sleepiness and snoring in people
with moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and also improves the
sleep quality of partners.
Do you have Sleep Apnea?
Want to see if playing a didgeridoo will help relieve your symptoms? We can certainly help you with the didgeridoo part, as that's been our specialty for over 10 years. Having said that, we (Urban Dingo) are not medical professionals or experts on sleep apnea syndrome. The proof of principal results published in the British
Medical Journal are highly encouraging, but consider didgeridoo playing as a supplemental therapy to compliment your CPAP or any related therapies as prescribed by your doctor.
There is no cure for sleep apnea, and while the clinical results of didgeridoo playing are very positive and uplifting, you should not decrease or discontinue your CPAP regimen without consulting your physician.
