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. Get a Didgeridoo and Start Playing! 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.

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.

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 mention us 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.
