Meinl DDG1-R Didgeridoo

I bought this didgeridoo on an impulse buy as part of a much larger Thomann order that already involved a large box. For a few months it sat in the corner of my studio as a decoration (it does look quite nice), and in the last few weeks I finally started learning to play it. It has a rich, deep tone, and once you find the resonance of it, it can really sing.

To all potential buyers, I highly recommend getting the beeswax mouthpiece (item number 257036) to go with it. This didge model has a bit of a rough mouth, since it is made from bamboo and not eucalyptus (like the more expensive ones). As such, it is a bit scratchy and can irritate the lips after long sessions. The beeswax mouthpiece fits on it perfectly, and also helps to improve the quality of the sound since it helps to create a tighter seal with the lips.

Even without an additional mouthpiece, it's a great didge for both decorative and musical purposes.
