Hi all, I hope this is the right place to ask my question Very Happy

Which is what would you recommend for a beginner as far as a traditional didgeridoo is concerned? Who are your favourite makers?

This place is as good as any I suppose if you're after something.

I don't know what recommendations I have, obviously I'm biased. I guess the thing is that it isn't so much the maker as the instrument... many craftsmen can make great instruments, and the same craftsmen can make pretty ordinary ones too.

Anyone else have any comments on this? Who and what do you like and why?

Guan

Hi ,
I agree with Guan and dunno if it is really plausible to name somebody here. OK, everybody has some favorite
craftsman/artisan yet one is inherently biased based on his experience. My first-ever yirdaki was from Ngongu Ganambarr - E/G stick and looking back now I could have made a better choice by getting something easier to play especially for trad techniques. so, the best would be to ask Guan to get something for you that is easy to play and would not challenge you much in the first place,


peace

M
