MAKING A NEW DIDGERIDOO BEESWAX MOUTHPIECE - LONDON UK SHOP

[righteous0warrior]

I have one question.

I am a complete noob when it comes to Didjeridoos and I just received my first one in the mail today.

One end is much more open than the other end.

Which end do I apply the beeswax to?

@righteous0warrior the smaller end the larger end is the bell

I don't know where you live, but I got beeswax from a store called Greenearth. They sell candles, arts, crafts, etc. But any store that sells beeswax candles should be fine. Make sure it is 100% beeswax and not a composite beeswax or a processed one. I bought 6 packs and just took the wick out when the wax melted.

It works great! let me know how it goes

Hi,

Thank you for your videos they are apprecited and helpful.

Hope this is not a silly question! Is it ok to play a didgeridoo without a wax mouthpiece? I have played mine for a year without one (it's my first didgeridoo)and it seems fine to play but I am concerned about if that harm the didgeridoo at all (like cause cracks in the wood etc)? Thank you if you can offer any opinion.

best wishes,

Tfish

its not needed... its more for comfort if you play for long periods of time

[Yakishamy]

Beeswax can't crack your didge, it preserves it. As allareone421, playing long times can hurt your lips :)

I bought a didgeridoo from ebay a few weeks back. It doesn't apepar to have any mouthpiece at all, just wood. The bit that you breathe in too looks like a hollowed out basin of wood and i have not seen anyone else with a didgeridoo like it. Shall i buy some wax and have a go at crafting a mouthpiece? It seems like the hole is too big at the moment to circular breathe with.

A 30g bar on average is good for about three mouthpieces.
