My brother had brought his didgeridoo and he lost it after some 6.000 miles in Houston, U.S.A. Didgeridoo is an instrument, kind of, it doesn't play tunes, rather emits a constant esoteric vibration. It was a traditional instrument of the Aboriginal people of northern Australia. Nowadays it's used by various electro, psychedelic or genre-hopping bands.
While walking in Belize we found a nice little pack of bamboo. We spent the whole afternoon cutting and carving two didgeridoos, using our cheapest Chinese knives.
Didgeridoos are magical stuff, they work only with their master, which is not surprising, since that master forms the instrument's mouthpiece to match his own mouth.
We've been adjusting our new didgeridoos for weeks and now they sound pretty fine, though we have a lot to learn and practice about playing a didgeridoo.
Watch us play on our self-made bamboo didgeridoos
