opendidge

A description of the basic principles and construction of the OpenDidge. A new musical instrument invented by myself. It is based on the didgeridoo but with multiple tubes, multiple notes and a pickup in the mouthpiece for amplification.

Wow, your last version is almost like a didge with an ocarina fingering bit. Looks like quite a harmonic range, too, with lots of notes available. I hope you keep developing this and come up with a nice fuild design. :) Awesome work and great sound.

@didgeboy287 Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate them.

The design has evolved quite a lot since this model, and the pickup

has also been modified quite a bit. I should really make some new videos.

One more thing, the word append means 'to add onto', right? Your appendidge ADDS extra tubes onto the traditional design of a didge... Yeah??? ;)

@Haarmonics And Appendidge almost sounds like opendidge:)

Thanks for the comments and listening, and appendidge made me smile:))

Maybe we could compromise and call it an apendidge;)

Peace, M

Dear Rodrik,

thanks my friend for your lovely comment. I am still developing the idea and there will be more to come. Peace. Martin

Great innovation. You should have called it the Appendidge, seeing as how there are several appendages (get it?). You have my permission to use that name ;)

that is so creative !

it can expand the possibilities of the didgeridoo, wich is already a more than the eye can see very complete instrument.
