I made a PVC didgeridoo well over 10 yrs ago. I used all of the techniques you used in this video and I was very happy with the results. For a side story. I walked into a store selling crystals and other things like that. In a back corner I found a barrel with a few didridoos made from bamboo. I grabbed one and started playing. One of the employees came back there and stared at me. I put it back in the barrel and apologized. She said it was beautiful! Most people come in and make a "murdered animal sound" 😆🤣😂

Kale. You are amazing. I loved this video. I was so impressed with how you figured all this out on your own. You really did a great job and after you practiced I can tell you were getting it. The Didge Always reminds me of a sub oscillator or something electronic !! I can't wait to see how you use it musically. I know it's gonna be great !!! I throughly enjoyed this. And who knows maybe someday if I have a house I can attempt to try this with my husband's help. He helped me make the Rav vast stands (one of which I use in my videos ) my younger son is a mechanical engineer in the aerospace field and his senior design project was to build a plane and have it fly ( which amazingly it did ) they had to take it by plane to another state and the very heavy cardboard tube is what they used to transport it. So this extra tube sat in my basement for months and then I saw a video (thank goodness for KZbin ) where someone used something similar. So my husband cut it in three. So I have one for standing one for sitting (the one I've been using in the video ) and one for the floor. he cut out the holes for the sound to escape and then I painted it. He used some pipe insulation for the rim. So your video is right up my alley !! Great job !

Yes. I always thought a low drone from a sine wave oscillator (or even a triangle) sounds like a didgeridoo. Especially when you get the filter sweep going. It gets that neeeooooooowwwww kinda sound.

Love that you have taken this on. I would hope anyone playing the didj, doesn’t burn plastic. Period. Ever. Not good for you, the air around you, or the environment. That being said. They make a different size to accommodate your needs of a bigger inner diameter. Most hardware store sell 2ft sections of ABS, not PVC(contains chloride, not good for humans). I buy a 1-1/4in., 2in and 3in sections. This is enough to make two didjs that sound completely different. I use the same mouthpiece but with the nylon thread nut, shaved to fit my face ergonomically. Also widened, dim are 1-1/8 tall and 1-3/8in wide.

The one thing that is completely different is the density of the material, plastic has a ring to it. Wood is more earthy, the harder and thicker the muddier.

I cheat, as I need more length then 24” for certain sections. Take a 1-1/4”x26-1/2” and then a 3”x17-1/2”. Then get a 5’ stick of 2”, cut into different lengths, no more than 35” or so. The key drops to an A and becomes breathy. At 2”x15-1/2” you should have a D#, at 20C# and 28 a B.

I'm watching this after having finished mine. A different way to tune it in is to pick a note you like the sound of, in my instance C2 as well, and trim it down like an inch at a time until it produces that 65.4 Hz. Mine is around 64" or 162 cm to get me to that C2. This technique also makes sure you can hit the note you want. There are different frequencies for buzzing your lips. I played low brass in school and so I had the advantage of muscle memory. The plastic cap that came with the adaptor is easier to use than the uncapped section, but you might do well reducing the ID of the mouthpiece to an inch. Try using a cap and drilling an inch hole in it.

To use a didgeridoo you want to be able to tighten up one side of your lips, and let the other side do the reverberating. Press your lips inside of the mouthpiece. And use only one side. Don't be afraid to rotate the didgeridoo to find the perfect sound. It's okay to experiment

Fun fact the Aboriginal people are closely related to the Denisovans, ancient actual humans, dating back 100s of thousands years ago and there are cave paintings to prove it, as well as stories told through the people and the Yidakis. A eucalyptus didge will let you talk with your ancestors. The yidaki is one of the first if not the first wind instrument ever made in the history of our species. The pipe will exercise your lips and get circular breathing down, but there is no sound on the planet that matches a hollowed by white ants eucalyptus yidaki or western name "didgeridoo".

Yes. I have seen those methods, I actually mention it during the bell section of the vid. I am not sure how it would change the dimensions though.

[This I've learned is not uncommon and can happen without any abuse being done to the instrument.] I'd like to make a Didge that is not going to crack and if abused only cost a few bucks to replace. This PVC Didge looks like it fits the bill. Two questions... 1. Is there any health risks involved with playing this "plastic" instrument? 2) Didn't your putting bends in the PVC in effect change the length of and as a result the tune of the Didge? Thanks.

Thanks for watching the video and I'm super glad it was helpful to you. I don't know that I'm qualified to answer your first question but I know there are recorders, flutes, and several other wind instruments made from PVC (not necessarily PVC plumbing pipe but polyvinyl chloride nonetheless) and I've not heard of any health effects with those. Again... I'm not the expert on this but I'd lean toward no. Great question about the bends. As you point out, you're effectively lengthening one side by a fraction of an inch while shortening the other by a similar amount. I too thought about that. However, the end product seems to be in tune. Here's a video of my playing it with other instruments so you can hear. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooCWl6B-etOnic0 It could be that the bends weren't enough to affect the tuning or maybe my measuring was slightly off and the bends fixed it... but it worked in my case.

Does the diameter of the pipe affect pitch? Does it produce a better tone the wider in diameter?
@musicalmiscellany Жыл бұрын
As I understand it (and keep in mind I am just a beginner at this) the diameter will affect the tone but not the pitch. A 2" pipe and a 3" pipe of the same length should produce the same note. The timbre and volume may be slightly different but the length controls the pitch..

@@musicalmiscellany thanks so much! Is there any chance that you would have a suggestion on mounting something to it? I am planning on customizing my instrument in a very specific way and need to mount a ring to it that can hold its weight for a neck strap. I am using a 2 inch CPVC and it is very heavy but I prefer the tone. I have played saxophone for 20 years and have realize this instrument is all about embouchure and breathing which seems to be equally important for each instrument. I’m going to make one in a similar shape to a sax so it feels comfortable and I can switch instruments mid song. I’ve done this with 2 different saxophones in the past as well.

Tune is not correct if you use a 3 or a 5mm diameter, sound is different.
@musicalmiscellany Жыл бұрын
Based on the theory, the pipe's resonance is determined it's length not it's diameter. The pitch of the note should not change with different diameter pipes but it will sound different. Think of it like playing an A note on a guitar vs a ukulele. Both are the same note but they sound completely different based on the body size of the instrument. That's the science behind it anyway. BTW, where are you finding 3mm PVC? I'm assuming you meant 30mm.

My friend in Europe needs to make one but not sure how their measurements work for PVC to make them ok to work. He wants two feet by one inch.
@musicalmiscellany2 жыл бұрын
One inch is about 25mm so that should give him an idea. I know they sell European PVC in 30mm and 40mm diameters (probably others too). Honestly, the diameter of the pipe shouldn't matter as far as the tuning. A 1" pipe and a 2" of the same length will produce the same note. They may resonate differently though so one could sound better/worse to your ears.

Yes, if you can accurately measure to the hundredth of an inch, feel free to be that accurate, I normally round off to the nearest eighth because even that level of measurement is hard to get exact. Thanks for checking it out.
