king lazza !

[derekpharms17]

YES!!

[pseudolithos]

Great! Larry is still the best! Yeesssssssss!!!!!!!!!

[theHRproductions]

Course the man still has it! And please put up another promotion, I need another didgeridoo, mine is bamboo and I need a new one!!!

[Musicislove123]

It seems like his trumpets are a bit softer sounding than the other trumpets I hear from players in the east like will thoren etc.. Is there a different technique that he uses to get a different sound? it just seems like his overtones have a much warmer tone to them.

[ididjaustralia]

@Musicislove123 the difference is probably in the quality of the instruments, what larry is playing is a high grade stick and they tend to have softer overtones. could be technique as well but i'd say it is instrument quality first and foremost

[Musicislove123]

@ididjaustralia Ah ok, I'm still a beginner with this stuff so I'm trying to learn as much as I can lol What kind of yidaki does Larry play? the decoration is amazing but I love the drone, seems like a very balanced stick too, not too bassy or overly bright but it's sometimes hard to tell with computer speakers.

[ididjaustralia]

@Musicislove123 get yourself some good speakers, they're cheap these days, for US$60 you can get decent speakers, will be worth while as the audio in our vids are all high quality digital recordings :-)

the stick larry is playing is indeed well balanced, its a gem of a yirdaki made by larry himself, one of 3 specially-commissioned yidaki 6 foot or longer.

[Musicislove123]

@ididjaustralia I'll be sure to do that :)

I'm actually interested in getting a really good yidaki someday, do you have any advice on where I could look for one? I live in Guam and it's not that far to fly to Fremantle or Sydney (just expensive! lol) so I could fly down and try one out in person and then ship it back, but what are your recommendations for someone who wants to get the real deal yidaki? any help is appreciated :)

[ididjaustralia]

@Musicislove123 the iDIDJ Store, we only have a small selection online though as all up we have 500+ authentic Arnhem Land instruments in stock and it just takes a long time to put them online, anyway they're all hand-picked and chosen for their cultural integrity, artistic merit, exceptional acoustic quality and sound construction. you won't find a better selection anywhere in the world. this particular larry winiwini yidaki is for sale if you are interested.

@ididjaustralia How Much Guan? can you pm me

[kdidj]

Good to see him doing his thing. I'm very fond of Larry - he's quiet, but beneath the calm exterior there's lots going on as evidenced by said incident. I hope he's soon back playing his favourite sport and continues to make and play sweet sticks!

[MrRay2008]

Ahhhhhhh, yes, guess the King was never gone, just not on YouTube I suppose. Glad he's back here, bloody stunning as always.

[sonofthedestroyer]

The King has returned!

[Sleepyhead54]

he still looks and sounds great!

[ozmadman]

I reckon he still has it! looking more like his dad now though I think.

[IPlayDidgeridoo]

The master of didges is back - wau - just love his style and love the way he play the yidaki - have seen Winiwini 1000 times at least on different vids on youtube - when I someday can't get on with my pratice I just listen a little to the Master, and the I got the motivation again ;-)

Wuduku is the king of Yidaki. He may not play at ceremony, or be involved with Yolngu gatherings, but he's got that power and clarity with his playing that no one has. Everyone else plays all over the place, while Wuduku (Winiwini btw) plays solid, grounded and yet clear as a bell. That's cuz he's an true musician. When there's ceremony being held, he's inside making songs on his keyboard. He has a very unique singing voice. Marrkup Mi Wawa!

[PiPphiltitley]

yes he's still got it ! big time

Thank You Kindly for sharing

stay safe pip

[PiPphiltitley]

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

yeah hes still got it!... larry is the king and he deserves to be No-1 didgeridoo player on youtube too...congratulations to him!

and yeah he might have put on a lil weight, but he still looks fit and very strong.

how long was the ban....when is back to playing footy again?

great didge as always!

cheers

[ididjaustralia]

@Cre8iveSignWorks ban was years and years, can't remember exactly but i thought 12. word has it that he'll be allowed in next year so i guess the tribunal has deemed him ready to return to football!

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

@ididjaustralia

wow!

thats a stiff penalty

(he must have done something quite wrong).

thanks for your replys

[ididjaustralia]

@Cre8iveSignWorks yea it was unsportsmanlike, but the Gurruwiwis thought it was appropriate 'punishment' enuf said!
