"Serpent Dreaming"
Performance Quality Didgeridoo from Australia
|
|
Crafted by Roper Allanson (Bundjalong aboriginal)

The red dot on the Australian map at left shows the region where this didgeridoo came from. Roper is a very skilled and patient crafter, allowing the eucalyptus timber to season for up to a year before stripping the bark. This makes the wood quite stable, and the harder timber also makes the sound more robust.

This didgeridoo has a nice flare at the end, and it's fairly light in weight for it's size. The artwork features depictions of two serpents perambulating the tall spinifex grasses, and concentric circles that represent billabongs (water marshes) in the dot art style of Australia's central desert region. This didgeridoo was crafted from
termite hollowed eucalyptus. The interior bore is very clear and
open which increases volume, harmonics, and clarity of tone. A satin finish protects the wood and artwork from the elements. Fitted with an
organic beeswax mouthpiece sanitized with Didgeri-Clean (tea tree and
lavender oil). The mouthpiece can easily be adjusted to fit you perfectly.
Instructions included, no worries.

Soundwise: Performance quality sound with sweet, warm,
vibrant acoustics. Good range
of sonic characteristics and
so easy to play! This instrument
sounds even better than it
looks, delivering very clear
vocal response which is great
for dingo howls and kookaburra
calls. Good bass frequencies
radiate from the core, balanced
with spluttery trills. Best
of all the conical bore gives
you strong compression for
easy horn toots and hard
tongue riddims. Truly
a sensational didgeridoo with
handsome artwork,
and you'd be hard pressed
to find another one like it
on this side of the Pacific.
Perfect backpressure for its
size and pitch make the circular
breathing technique easeful. Two
easy horn tones, both warm against
the drone. Perfect backpressure
for its size and pitch make the circular breathing technique
easier, especially for a novice.
