If you enjoy the sort of one-note rhythmic style of the didgeridoo you might like the Overtone flute too. Type it in.

I build and play the kalyuka

Ciao Federico, questo che allego è il primo videoclip del mio nuovo cd Ab Origine, suonato con didgeridoo ed uno dei toui shakuhachi! A presto, Gianni.

Thanks for explaining. :)

Yes, with the trumpet, using the throat and the tongue slightly modifies the timbre of the note.

But more than a stamp, you change the note.

[pollywarrior]

Does the note on the trumpet get altered using the back of the throat, opening and closing the throat, and movement of the tongue? Trumpets are very ancient, one I'm interested in is carnyx the ancient war trumpet used by Celtic peoples.

The Alpine horn and trumpet Tibetan, not working on overtones as the didjeridoo.

They utilize the overtones to produce different notes, while the didjeridoo produces a single note full of stamps.

...I have read didjeridu is a type of very ancient and primative trumpet. Other trumpets have different mouth pieces, I think, but they might have something to do with lip vibration all the same. I think Alpine and Tibetan horns have sound somewhat similar to didjeridu.

At first, not having heard the shakuhachi before, thought that it might have been a shakuachi I was hearing and that it was a very similar instrument to didjeridu and sounded virually the same. But I looked it up on Wikipedia and heard it on You Tube and realized that it sounded quite different - but then flutes are played different to didjeridus, and flutes and didjeridus belong to different categories of the wind instruments...

BTW is abbreviation for "by the way".

I've played didjeridus made from bamboo cane, I've also played card tubes and plastic pipes like didjeridus, metal scaffolding pipes too. Any tube that can fit the vibrating lips can be played in the manner of didjeridu. I was interested if there were any other cultures other than the Aboriginal Australians who had a harmonic drone pipe as one of their indiginous or traditional instruments.
