Ive had a broken mast for yonks sitting in my shed. It is the lower portion of an old North 30% carbon 460 - think it broke above the boom. One day I thought it looked about the same internal diameter as a didgeredoo, and thought Id give it a go to see if I could get any sound out of it - and was surprised to find that it had a really good tone to it. Well today I got the old grinder on to it, cut the shabby break off nice and cleanly, gave it a quick sand; and voila - high tech carbon didge!! I had some beeswax in my shed and just spent the last hr. or so melting that down and making a mouthpiece like they do on the didges that you buy. I think I paid $100 or so for a hardwood didge from that aboriginal store in King St. Perth many yrs. ago. It is now about 4 ft long. This one looks pretty good - as these masts had a gold aluminium collar. Now all I have to figure out is how to circular breath!!
someone once told me to practice by continualy blowing bubbles through a straw in a glass of water,.... it's supposed to be easier and gets u into the jist of it all......
What you need is bagpipes, or rather the bag part minus the pipes and plus the didg. But because you have to have your lips on the didg the bag has to feed into your mouth. What you need is a cheek perforation. Put a neoprene grommet in it and you can plug the bag straight in. When you're not in a musical mood you can plug it with a biro. When you are in a fun mood you can fill your mouth with coke and squirt it out the hole, amaze your friends and be the life of the party.
God you've got a lovely bum BG. I think I've got the travel bug. Either that or I'm in love.
Did as you suggested NotWal - didnt hurt that much - think I should have used a smaller drill bit though - it works a treat - now plug my cheek in to my leaf blower - now got unlimited air. As for my bum - not that lovely - unless of course youre into hairy/pimply arses that is - thats why I prefer to look at that chicks!
