@DrRost2 - you're already halfway there! Just google IDIDJ and click on the store tab near the bottom of their page. If U don't see what U want, just ask for it - there's many more. If prices shock you - consider that a maker must travel far into the bush, find and cut a suitable tree (not easy as most are unsuitable), carry it back to the vehicle, work it into a didj and paint it. An online seller has to find a buyer, ship it (probably 70-80 USD) and pay the VAT, or duties tax ($300 USD maybe).

Very cool to see the whole family effort in the making of this yidaki. Such an inspiring video on so many levels.. thanks to you ALL!!!

Sound reminds me of Baywara Power stick played by Larry some time ago on one of your great vids

thanks

I almost forgot to say....Dopiya's artwork is excellent too! As is Vernon's playing! That Yidaki sounds like Liquid Cream!

[monkeyeagle]

Djalu is AWESOME! I can't believe how hard he works! And how much Heart and Soul he had put into that Yidaki! This video is wonderful!

Cool vids Guan! Looks like they set Djalu up with a new place, huh? Djalu looks much better to me than 2 years ago.

Ha ha haaaa ! Stunning ! Awesome ! Murrnginy !

@Losbergs2 > it is sugar-bag, a special black bees wax, very hard.

If you don't have any, you can mix some coal powder and ochres to "normal" beeswax... it hardens it and makes it last longer.

Still with "normal" beeswax, it only needs to be changed when it gets dirty, same with all other types of beeswaxes... Then, you don't even need to change the whole lot : just scrape the top coat.

I think vernon is my new favorite ididj player now after seeing him in the last couple of vids.

what was that woman using to paint didges with?

looked like a daggar liner used in pinlining and auto striping!

great vid, thanx

[losbergs2]

what do they use for mouth piece? bees wax gets old and you need to change every now and then can you use something else that would last longer?
