"Breathing Cyclones"
Concert Quality Yidaki from Australia
|
|
 Crafted by Djalu Gurruwiwi
 The red dot on the Australian map at left show where this instrument came from. Djalu made this sonically vibrant yidaki from a big stringy bark eucalyptus tree. The artwork
represents Gälpu clan designs that are very significant to his tribe. Djalu is the ceremonial
leader and senior lawman for the Gälpu clan, and is world renowned
for his crafting and playing skills. Instruments of excellent provenance
like this one are highly sought after. Crafted from termite hollowed eucalyptus in remote N.E. Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia.
The bell or distal end is very clear which increases volume, harmonics,
and clarity of tone. This one features a natural mouthpiece that's been sanitized
with Didgeri-Clean (tea tree and lavender oil). No beeswax needed. Well seasoned yidaki by Djalu are found on offer less and less these days. They are not only awesome to play, but a very good investment as well. |

Soundwise: Concert quality sound and playability with perfectly balanced tonal characteristics
and a great deal of clarity and
depth. Watch the video below for a demo of this deadly yidaki! This AWESOME sounding
yidaki offers up "high beam" acoustics
whilst being very easy and enjoyable
to play. Unbelievably responsive
to tongued riddims and trill with achingly gorgeous harmonic swells. The
completely natural bore and medium wall thickness make it highly reverberant,
and the clear, open bell end delivers vivid vocal effects,
chirpy highs, and GROUND SWELLING bass
frequencies! Three easy horn toots,
the first being warm against the
drone. Perfect backpressure for
its size and pitch make the circular
breathing technique very easeful. Please don't hesitate to contact
us if you have any questions or
would like a demo over the phone. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. |
