I got the opportunity to play didge in the Catholik Church in Bernau near Berlin. The pope Eberhardt (right hand) opened the Church in the evening just for this. In the back you see virgin Maria (in the golden frame of course ;-) The sound was really amaising. I tryed all the different places. The didge is made from Hornbeam, a Dis. |

| This is the newest didge, made of Maple. On
these didge I documented the tutorial.
Because of the relativily heavy bend it was quite labor intensive. Lenght 140 cm, bell inner diameter 15 x 15 cm. Pitch F. 
This is Thomas, with his new didge.

 My
wife Marina, she is 163 cm tall? so you get an idea how the size of
the didge is.
|
  |
 This
didge is made of Hornbeam, leaving the Bark patially. Sound is some kind
mystical Pitch C#. |
   |
 The
first didge I made with the bore through technik It is Cherrywood. Pitch
E. |
  |
 Here
I am with a thin-walled Didge of Hornbeam, voice are quite good, pitch
C. |
  |
 This
one is made of Quila-wood, it grows somewhere in south-east Asia. A quite
hard material and the sound is like that, fast, hard and a lot of overtones.
Pitch F# |

Here you see 6 logs, waiting with patience until I start my work
on it. Left to right: Marple, 2x White-Beach, Robinia, 2x Oak. |
