Over the years we have met many Aboriginal makers. We are very proud to call them friends and exhibit their work here.

What key is right for me? For beginner players we recommend the key of C, D, or E. This is the mid range. Higher keys like F and G take tighter lip pressure and lots of diaphragm pushing. These higher keys are great for fast rhythmical playing. Lower keys like A and B take really loose lip pressure and more air. They work great for slow meditative playing styles. The keys of C, D, and E fall somewhere in between and are easier for beginners to learn on. Most didge players have a collection of didges (some have one in every key). We suggest you listen to our sound clips of the different keys to see which one you like the best.
