I saw many websites of australian didgeridoo shops and read "yidaki sales" but all didges are manufactured for non aborigen makers, here in my country one site said "yidaki art", but all the didges are made with machines for hollowed the log and NO WHITE ANTS and NO ABORIGINAL tradition, is like a joke. Embarassed

What you mean about this ?

Welcome aboard Latindidg,

Well if you are already aware of the fact that majority of the didges on the market are made by non-Aboriginal people or by Aboriginals without traditional connection to it, you have found the right path,

so abide by it Smile

Hi latindidg,

I echo Mahir's welcome, it is great to have South American members here on the forum.

What you are saying isn't a rumour but is true. I feel that the word 'yidaki' or 'yidaki' or 'yirdaki' should be reserved for instruments from NE Arnhem Land, and retailers and manufacturers who use these words to describe their products should understand that these terms should not be interchangeable with 'didgeridoo'.

If you want to report on any website in South America or elsewhere which is misrepresenting instruments, you can post in the Authentication and Labelling system section:

Hope you enjoy this forum!
