PVC didgeridoo!

Not really audiobus related, but it came up of Jhakob's discussion on Sunrizer presets at https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/10620/32-sunrizer-spirit-presets-haq-attaq-95#latest.

Both @jakoB_haQ and @JohnnyGoodyear requested a video.

I am just learning how to play the didgeridoo and have made a couple of them out of PVC for only a few dollars using instructions found on the Internet. Don't just the quality of the PVC instrument by my playing. Obviously a high quality wood one is going to sound better, but a good player can really make these things drone and toot very nicely. I liken the different to American vs. Mexican made stratocaster guitars... an expert can tell the difference, but the average player cannot. (unlike a solid wood top Martin vs. a plywood Fender... anyone can tell the difference)

is the video.

Both are PVC, one I just colored with cherry colored wood stain I had laying around the house. I also used some heat to melt a bend into it to make it look a little more like a didgeridoo and less like a piece of plastic pipe! It still sounds the same.

  • Well done! I have always contended that the primary difference between British men and American men could be found in the far larger number and variety of hobbies the former have compared to the latter. Not only does this give me great hope for inventive American blokes across this large place, but I can also see vast armies of men diggerring away into the homely night. I do hope you have a shed. Men need sheds.

    Extra marks btw for the cherry colored wood stain :)

    It is funny you should mention British vs. American. I emigrated here from the UK when I was a kid and my wife is constantly complaining about the new hobbies that I seem to come across. Last weekend I was giving Trials motorcycling a try too. I can see where her complaints might come from. :-) I always attributed it to a personality flaw, but now maybe I can attribute it to my heritage!

    I don't have a shed but I have a somewhat large house, at least compared to most British ones, and a 1,000 square foot basement filled with nice sound absorbing junk.

  • Cool pvc digeridoo looks hard to play the real one and this but the sound is awesome in both.

  • i just went for a walk with the dog and thought about next steps... running it through an effect on audiobus like Crystalline or something. Or maybe seeing what iVoxel would do with it!

  • I remember mucking about with PVC pipe didgeridoo's. I think I had one once made from a thinner pipe inside the larger one, and by moving it and changing the length it also changed the pitch. A trombdoo if you like.

  • Proud owner of a PVC didgeridoo since the early nineties. I saw an Australian band perform that had a couple of didgeridoos in the mix, and absolutely had to get me something that could make that sound! Good to know I ain't the only one.

    100% American, for what it's worth. No shed or basement. Garage.

  • Long before there were man caves, there were sheds....

    thats pretty cool and still mobile in a sense. Somehow every christmas I wind up with a ton of cardboard ones.

  • Sounds and looks authentic, nice work!

    I love making instruments! My latest is a coconut kalimba. My greatest achievement; the Hank Drum. A poorman's, diy, hang drum! Totally awesome! Blueprints for this and dozens of other insanely awesome instruments curtesy of Mr. Dennis Havlena http://dennishavlena.com/

    Consider this a second recommendation for Dennis Havlena's site. It is a treasure trove. I will tackle that hurdy gurdy one day. I swear.

    positive for the didgsound (loudness) is to cut a bottle that you got a hopper and finished your "didg" with it!.....

    Thanks, but I am not sure I understand. I've heard it is a good idea to expand the end with a bottle and melting the end of the didge so that the end expands. I've got plans to do that shortly actually, just need to find a suitable bottle!

    melting the end of the didge this is The Floyd at their finest....

    Could have happened, after all their follow up to Dark Side was titled 'household objects', abandoned for Wish You Were Here (though you can still hear the odd wine glass and rubber band)
