Very old didgeridoo played by a modern master - unique!

This is a rare opportunity to hear an old didgeridoo played by one of today's masters. The didgerido in question is a bamboo specimen circa. 1950s vintage from the Daly River region, NT.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure if this is bamboo. It has segments like bamboo but its composition seems more like pandanus or one of the native palm species...

This didgeridoo has been used ceremonially and shows good signs of wear and handling consistent with prolonged usage. Interestingly, these sorts of instruments are no longer made as hardwood didgeridoos have become the norm in northern Australia.

Played here by mago master Darryl Dikarrnga, the 1st didgeridoo player recorded for the Blue Bamboo Project.
