This instrument is in the heart of most exquisitely balanced didgeridoos. It is a Zen master of a drone. And its appearance is so smooth that one would most rather take it to bed. At least that what we’re told. Wood it is made of is very rare in didgeridoos.

Its sound has two basic qualities. Power and smoothness. This is the kind of instrument that you can play to a newborn baby. It has amazing properties of equalizing the sound, so even the loud high screams come out much softer. Sound reminds of the highest quality ribbon microphone, as it has the velvet, creamy property, but also, by some magic, a lot of detail. Due to the well balanced bass to low mids it this instrument has a full and warm sound.  There are no real peaks in frequency, only  a slight one around 12kHz to give it smooth top.  Drone is of darker quality, kind of sound that I’ve liked through many years, a classic. Toots are of same smoothness and have similar properties as drone, only from third toot onward they start to be more bright…

This instrument has a very convincing drone and relatively strong backpressure, and although it is not extremely loud, it is powerful enough to take to acoustic performance. This didgeridoo is a shape of my many years favorite C didgeridoo, only it is half a number bigger in size, and half a note deeper. Very comfortable to play, does not tire the player in any way. Wood is hard and dense, and due to oils was difficult to drill because of sticking to drill bit, but in the end it rewarded in being an unusual well behaved and loyal player. As mentioned before, the sound of it is so smooth that even if you overdo harsh high voice, the didgeridoo itself will balance it out.

What this instrument does excel in is balance, so what it does not excel in are extreme stuff. Do not expect from this instrument to great dynamic possibilities, or the easiest toots,  do not expect it to go undisturbed through any mix… this is more of a gentleman, the kind of which will excite you the most with its extremely good manners.

In appearance this instrument represents well its sound. It is not of stunning colour or wood grain, it is does not have the most thrilling burls and curls. Beauty of wood is better seen with a deeper look to it – you will find out wood’s gray and bluish stripes, and the grain lines. You can feel the smoothness and harmony, non obtrusiveness of the knots. The only hole too much in the log was filled with Sodalite and jasper in red and light blue colour, and got a little carving. The smell of the instrument is of orange, due to the orange oil inside…

If I would choose a instrument to compare this didgeridoo with it would be cello, if I would compare it to a drink, then cognac, at least because of the name, for microphone to record it with

Mojave Audio, even though I never tried it, a colour is dark green, even though it’s mixed with dark oak’s brown bark, and I would play it mostly in old chapels which bring only coloured rays of light into soft dark.
