This shape means that its resonances occur at frequencies that are not harmonically spaced in frequency even though the vibration produced by the player's lips has harmonics.
Sufficiently strong resonances of the vocal tract can strongly influence the timbre of the instrument. At some frequencies, whose values depend on the position of the player's tongue, resonances of the vocal tract inhibit the oscillatory flow of air into the instrument. These variations during the inhalation and exhalation phases of circular breathing, give the instrument its readily recognizable sound. Oh, that's why I couldn't play the didgeridoo when I was In Australia. I didn't get the "oscillatory flow" correct and my circular breathing was all out of whack. I'll just stick with the guitar. I just wish I could play one, and so do my friends. |

I wonder what a Tuvan throat singer like Ondar would sound like on a didgeridoo

Hmm. On this showing, guitar and didgerydoo go together like a horse and cabbage. Nice effort, but I don't think it works.

Anybody ever see the movie "The Coca-Cola Kid" with Eric Roberts? In it the members of Split Enz come up with a down under version of a Coke jingle that includes a dijderidoo (sp?)--and it's AWESOME!

Spookiest instrument on the face of the planet, and that's just fine with me. I always thought some group from the sixties should have incorporated it into a psychedelic classic. But what did I know then, I was only in Jr. High.
Hey! Maybe I could have been the next Phil Spector. Naw. I could have never killed a woman. |
