@aaliyahraks It's really easy. A friend of mine taught me. First buy some PVC pipe with an internal diameter of 4cm - you can find it at a hardware store. For the key of E cut it to 104cm. For D = 118cm. For C = 132. Sand the edges smooth. Then buy some beeswax (can be found at a beekeepers, hardware store, health food shop or saddler). Soften the wax either in the microwave or in a glass jar in the sun. Roll it into a snake and seal it on the top of the didge so the opening is 35mm.
@AlysiaLinguist Make sure the inside edge of the wax is smooth. It's okay if it's slightly oval in shape if it makes it easier for you to play. Then all that's left is to decorate! I just used twine and a hot glue gun with some shells, wooden beads and feathers at the top. Hope that helps! Enjoy!
awesome!!!!!!! I just ordered one online today, but I am going to make some now! woohoo!
