"Hoolio"
Performance Quality Drop-Octave Didgeridoo
|
|
 Crafted by Will Thoren
This didge is customized for a new technique that Will, the Yeti himself, developed to play SUPER LOW drone notes. The basic technique involves dropping the fundamental drone or pitch of a didge an exact octave below what it normally is, whilst keeping the didgeridoo normal sized rather than 8 to 12 feet long. The concave mouthpiece conforms to your face for a perfect fit, and is slightly larger than most didge players are accustomed too, enabling better lip movement and control for advanced styles.
Will says, "This didgeridoo was collected form a cedar tree that died on my property and was allowed to cure in place for 3 years before I took down the whole tree to make didgeridoos. It has been stained with a dark tone to bring out the best of it’s grain. This is a prime instrument to pick up the drop octave technique. It's playability in normal styles is amazing as well. Relatively light weight for a wooden instrument. The concave mouthpiece conforms to your face for a perfect fit and a comfortable, superior seal. This makes a larger mouthpiece easily manageable to provide the maximum amount of subtle lip control that is un attainable on flat small mouthpieces. This subtle lip control is what makes hitting lower drone frequencies possible. This didgeridoo has been balanced so that it’s concave mouth piece aligns perfectly with your mouth in a naturally held position. This type of mouthpiece is recommended for playing out of the front of the mouth to achieve the drop octave technique (for more on this see the video Side vs Front on www.wetdidgeridoo.com)."
What a handsome didgeridoo this is, not to mention eco-friendly (being recycled from a dead tree limb). The bell or distal end is
very clear and open which increases volume, harmonics, and clarity of
tone. Solid, gorgeous
finish. Double resin coated inside
and out for enhanced sound quality,
luster and durability. Buffed to a satin finish. Features a smooth and comfortable mouthpiece that's been sanitized
with Didgeri-Clean (tea tree and lavender oil). This
didgeridoo is
waterproof, unaffected by hot or cold
weather conditions, and very easy
to care for, no worries. |
 Soundwise: Performance quality sound and playability. Will says, "This didgeridoo is a really great facilitator to learn the drop octave with the ability to play normal styles powerfully in the process. Its overall tone is very warm and its harmonics a very crisp and clear. The inner bore is stepped down after the mouthpiece just enough to create good back pressure and loud vocals. The drop octave F# on this instrument has beautiful harmonics as well and plays with ease and power. It's always amazing to play such low drones on short instruments because the speed at which you can play them in relation to their giant counterparts is incomparable." As always, L.A.Outback offers a 100% Satisfaction
Guarantee.
