    @Rocky1990 The diameter doesn’t change the pitch, just the length does. I have a didj I made by sticking 3 cardboard wrapping paper tubes together, it’s about 10 feet long and has a VERY deep tone. The diameter of that one is about 1.5 inches.

    Reminds me of the sound of a Buchla 200e. Maybe the Buchla reminds me of this sound.

    As far as the …
    As far as the bamboo thing goes, bamboo is flexible and thus resonates easily. This causes the bass tones of the didj to “ring.” PVC has the same effect. It gives a boomy sound and tends to drown out the higher pitched detail that creates the unique texture of the didj sound. Authentic didjes are eucalyptus, which is an /extremely/ dense wood (heavy!), and thus has a very detailed, sharp, or articulated sound.

  21. treschlet Says:

    All the variables …
    All the variables interact. The tune of the didj is determined by the ratio of diameter to length. A larger diameter requires a longer length for the same tone. Also, internal diameter will effect things like backpressure, which will affect how easy or difficult it is to play.

    @OneSkiWonder …
    @OneSkiWonder diameter doesn’t really matter for me since I’m going to put a beesmax mouthpiece on it anyway. I just want it to be really deep and for that I want to have large diameter bamboo pipes. For some reason bamboo seems more Bass-ey than other wooden didges. Wonder why.

    @OneSkiWonder thanks

    @ewrgth wtf. of course there are “full blood” aboriginals in australia left. I am from australia, and i can assure you there are. Personally i am not aboriginal but a lot of their culture and way of life is being destroyed by the western way of life, which me off, but i can’t do anything about it. The didgeridoo is used to tell a story, i don’t know what this one means though…it could just be a demonstration of some different animal sounds…….

    @Rocky1990 the diameter really only matters for what fits your mouth. The length of the didj is what give it it’s tone. Longer = lower, while shorter = higher.
