camera man should focus less on the hammering and more on the instrument



[Chunkykong2009]

Old caveman makes primitive wind instrument, WOOW i have never seen that before! XD

[ididjaustralia]

@Chunkykong2009 thanx bro, you da best! :)

[HighlanderWallace]

Yeah, but I would like to see you to live in this area and make an instrument. Farting doesn't count.

[Jonyjutsu]

@Chunkykong2009 nice what can you make,

[drstew1]

That's beautiful i really enjoyed this. But i thought it was the termites that eat out the center or is this a different way?

[alternatehistories]

I'm sure glad I bought a Bob B. mago a few years back as they're now much harder to come by. It's one hot-rod of a mago. I could tell he put a lot of work into it as my bore showed evidence of both chiseling and burning. A lot of other makers don't spend as much time honing the sticks. Indeed, Mr. Burduwal himself realizes how much Balanda like myself treasure his instruments 2:20.

looks like an ewok, but he is the man

[SocailQueen]

[spyked1]

[barkinglips]

So glad to see Mr. Burduwal and to hear him speak and to see his smile. Love to you, Mr. Burduwal!

[primitivedave]

A mago by Bob just arrived by UPS - 20mins ago. AWESOME!!!! AWESOME!!!! AWESOME!!! What a sound... head still buzzing from the power of that sound.

[VidsOfMike]

good work, i think my digeridoo is of him, cheers =))))

[frodnew1]

What a beautiful person. You can tell he takes great pride in his work and wants EVERYBODY to have a mago. It would be gift just to play one. Great footage. Only on iDIDJ can you get this coverage. Great stuff!!!

[RealDIDJ]

Guan, do you have a vid of Bob playing an instrument. I heard that his playing is also impressive..

[ididjaustralia]

I don't but I heard him play for a short while, he is competent but not as good as Darryl, he is an old man after all.

[Autobotsrollout3]

Do you have any tips on circular breathing?

[sonofthedestroyer]

@RealDIDJ ,

I am not white. But brown. I may still be called a Balanda because i am not a native Australian. But i have ancestral family ties to the australian natives (dravidian connection).

[Fran6ahaw]

One little question :

"The first thing to notice is the number of holes in the ground"

Why does he dig so much holes ? Wouldn't one be enough if he crafts one Mago at a time ???

[ididjaustralia]

One hole is enough for one mago, but with time the hole gets bigger I guess as there would be a bit of pressure pushing against the side of the hole from the chiseling. So when a hole is no longer suitable, a new one is dug.

[ididjaustralia]

Also, perhaps the dogs like digging up the holes and sleeping in them where it is cooler. I did notice that the old holes were bigger, and covered with leaves and rubbish. Once a hole is too big, the log can no longer stand up by itself but will be slanting at an angle which will make it harder to chisel.

[hicap06]

Amazing! What a cultural treasure this man is.

[ShannonAvalon]

WONDERFUL !! Thank you!

[flyangler18]

Guan, these videos are simply priceless in the knowledge that they help others cultivate.

[gragrn]

Boy that looks like hard work. I wasn't sure how the bore was cut so thank you for that. I would never have the patience let alone the skill so to watch a master at work is a real joy.

[Fran6ahaw]

awesome :-)))

[Twirretwarre]

Wow, what a great video this is, thank you for posting. It really must be such a hard job to make these.

He really must have tough hands, through the time!

Roeleke

[ididjaustralia]

Burduwal has hands like nothing I've seen before. It is no exaggeration when I say he could dig these holes, fast. In the first still picture near the end of the video clip, you can see a couple of old holes that have filled up with leaf litter.

[sonofthedestroyer]

1:42 Balanda?

[ozmadman]

Non aboriginals, white people etc

[RealDIDJ]

Balanda: White fellow, just as yourself :)

[sonofthedestroyer]

Aha! So this is the Mago legend!

[kdidj]

Got to agree with Martin. Many thanks for this Guan.

[martindidge]

Guan,

as always a huge thank-you. For making the video, putting it up, and also spending the time to provide the wonderful written explanation. This video is a real eye-opener into the world of mago and bininj for all of us

cheers, Martin
