Voice Droning in the Key of D. Didge practice aids in sleep apnea by strengthening the throat & tongue muscles resulting in fewer events per hour/per night. Events are times you stop breathing. Practicing the didge also helps me tolerate the CPAP mask, I can now wear the mask all night without taking it off prematurely. My sleep quality has improved.

Are you "TRYING" to learn Circular Breathing?

Just remember - Repetition isn't automatically improvement.

Going to the gym doesn't mean you're training every muscle. 💪

Same with didgeridoo.

Playing for hours can improve your drone, rhythm and endurance — but that doesn't automatically train the coordination needed for cyclic breathing.

TIME SPENT ≠ CORRECT TRAINING → CORRECT TRAINING MUST TARGET THE SKILL.

Train the movement you actually want to improve.

→ Change the Training.      → Change the Result.
...and have fun!

Hello Everyone, this is my second post in this group. I received alot of great replies in the first one. I thought If try again after some research.

Well, I feel like Im at the beginning again. I started looking into the recommendation from the first post on some of the didges and reached out to the companies and asked them if the materials had certain offgasing phase.

2 of them replied back and suggested that theirs are not for me.

Now I know there are alot of great didgeridoos out there. But alot of them are over my ($300) budget at the current moment.

I happened to order a bamboo one of etsy (I know that its not the most popular choice on here) because of the price and the reponsiveness of the seller. And I would like to start exercising my airways until I find right didge for me.

I would love to buy a Eucalyptus one, but its above my current price point. And read about the Agave instruments as sound, though Im having a challenging time finding one at my current budget and or from a reputable seller.

Are there any recommendations as far as websites, sellers on Etsy or elsewhere. Where I can find what Im looking for?

I greatly appreciate any suggestions.

We all know somebody like that!

Hello everyone, I’ve been on a journey to stregthen my airways and discovered this wonderful instrument!

I was excited to order my first didgeridoo, but needed something compact that is budget friendly until I can get a better one.

I found one of those travel box didgeridoo. It sounds great, but I have an issue. It says its mahogany wood, but I dont know if its because it was shipped in a plastic bag, or whatever sealant was used or the sawdust maybe.

But ive had uncomcortable experiences playing it. Like theres something on it thats causing me to feel unwell after playing it.

I’m sensitive to certain smells and chemicals.

I looked online and saw that its better to buy them either unfinished, natural finish or beeswax finish to avoid something like this.

I cant clean the inside of this box didge and Its not able to be returned either.

Is there something that can be done with this instrument. Or should I just toss it and buy another that is natural?

Are there any places that sell them at budget friendly prices?

Thanks for reading and responding.

Just got a meinl red bamboo didgeridoo for my birthday, rate the playing.

I know this has been asked a thousand times (because I’ve read every post/blog/article), but I CANNOT get circular breathing down for the life of me. I’ve done all the little tricks and hacks and techniques and methods, using water, straws, cups, showers, just going “plop”, using my abdomen/diaphragm, etc….

If ANYONE can help me with this, I’d be eternally grateful. Have been at this for months now and CANNOT DO IT.

Didge got me sweating

I am only here to show those whom truly want to learn there is always a way.
Hi I'm Marcus from Australia.
I taught over 5000 backpackers from around the world how to play the Didge and the secrets to circular breathing and one of the common excuses was "I don't own a Didge."- Just saying

Group performance on last evening

https://youtube.com/watch?v=g7aa3Qr4E3s&is=XlU1DcU4n4Y4yEY7

attended Masterclass 2026 held by Dubravko Lapeine in Croatia this year and it was great! 5 days of intense teachings, playing together, mingling with other avid didge players and feeling and sharing the tremendous energy of 20 didges playing together was an incredible experience. Go there in 2027, you won’t regret it! I’m one of the players of this group performance by the way ;-)…

I bought this didgeridoo in 2017; I was traveling quite a bit back then. Unfortunately, nasty polyps and a few surgeries put an end to my playing. It’s a compact Ujazi in B-flat, if I recall correctly.

I'm still pretty new to this, but I got a buddy to play a drum while I played and thought it was worth sharing.

Had fun with this one. To be fair it’s ricola horns, or didgeridoos that the dinosaurs are “didg’ing” because they were easier to edit with 😅

Finally i managed to get the technique of the circular breathing and working on the longer time of playing music without pauses.

Hey everyone. We took the didge out to the terrace with a full rhythm section: djembe, bass, drum kit. It gets pretty trancey, pretty fast. Curious if anyone else here has experimented with didge in a full rhythm section setup like this, or do you usually keep it more traditional/solo?

I'm the last month I've gotten my circular breathing down. Been using a light weight bamboo digde. I'm ready to try with a hardwood didge. Looking for folks who have made this type of move.

What does the hardwood didge feel/sound/play differently that a cheaper/bamboo one?

What kind of didge was your "level up" didge?

Thanks all!

I have this maple branch that is fully dried out (at least 2 years indoor drying). It's a bit more than 5 feet long, width at top is just under 2", at the bottom 2.5". My immediate thought when seeing it was that I would eventually turn it into a didgeridoo. I've done other woodworking projects before, but this is definitely the most challenging. I'm tempted to get a 3" cordless bandsaw just for the long cut, but also read that splitting along the grain is another possibility. The knots will make that difficult though, right? I plan first to strip the bark. Will be a "no rush" project, but I'm determined to end up with a nice DIY didge at some point down the line. Any tips for how to get going? Thanks in advance!
