A few new Didgeridoos of Johannes |

This is a realistic reproduction of a Kudu Antilopen horn, from Epoxy
glass fiber. I have got it from
Peter Spoecker , who developed these "artifical" Didgeridoos. In
Germany one can order it at: in US you will get it at didgeridoostore.com There is still more fiber models, yucca reproduction, euka reproduction.
And a detachable conical traveldidge from Poly Propylen. |

Didgeridoo E, from hornbeam, length approx.. 186 cm |
|||
|
|

| Here one sees the funnel during the treatment. It is not yet very deeply prepared. | The mouthpiece. I drilled the first part with a 14 mm diameter drill to have still enough "meat" for the structuring. The inside diameter becomes so not too large. |
The raw-log, with bark. |

This e-Didgeridoo is quite uncommon: The first trumpet tone is by its
strongly conical shape on D and it has a very special sound characteristic.
It demands the player, because it responds very sensitive. The more
pressure you give, the louder it will be. Tompetentoene go like automatic,
very easy. |

| Didgeridoo D, from red oak, length 188 cm, bell 9 cm inside. | |||
| Also a very high basic-pitch for the small Bell and the
length. The wood has a very beautiful texture and color. Although it is only medium-hard, this Didgeridoo has a beautifully "dirty" sound. Unfortunately it split during the drying process in the bell-area. It does'nt influence acustically , optically however it disturbs a bit. First trumpet clay/tone with C #. |

| Didgeridoo F, from hainbuche, length 160 cm, Bell 8 - 12 cm inside | |||
| At present my favorite. Loud, "traditionally" (I cant play this style, but I remain to learn it ; -) and contemporary well playable, very "dirty" sound. Rather heavily, rel. thick wallthicknes. First trumpet tone E. | |||
|
|
|||
| Didgeridoo Gis, from cherry, length 140 cm, Bell 14 cm inside | |||
| The workoutmachine! What should I say... Loud... high... demands a powerfull player... Extremely... profile-extension?! a real beauty. If one can play it longer, that is the proof for a good condition ;-) |
