Djalu Gurruwiwi making the best ever yidaki!

Power tools? The work involved is significant enough with power tools, I can't imagine how long it would take without power tools.

i liked the look of the other twisty one in the background better.

Honestly, it kind of bothers me that Djalu uses power tools now, and doesn't just do it in a purer way.

@HadleyDGRC Ummm... Djalu's been using power tools for well over a decade lol!!

[acakut]

@HadleyDGRC do you mean he should only use stones and bones to build didges...come on!!!!

Who's playing the yidaki?

[alternatehistories]

Having worked with wood like this myself, I can only imagine that Djalu spends a good portion of his evenings picking splinters out of his hands with a tweezers!

Marlu Marrkupmi! Always refreshing to see Djalu making Yidaki. His mastery of making this sacred instrument has a life story in every step.

simply AWEsome!!!!! thanks for a glimpse of the legend at work!!

so cool

is there any treatment involved for the inside of the bore? (oil or saltwater soak for the stick)

thanks

[ididjaustralia]

@bdidjin Hi Bryan, no treatment at all inside the bore and the instrument still in good shape, no splits and no movement. Its a perfect yidaki.
