[@PitzQuattrone]

This night reinforced the vision of my life path is right on track! Thanks to the folks at the Fleming Museum for inviting me. And thanks to EVERYONE who attended this special night! Best, Pitz

[@anthonyman8008]

Thank you so much for sharing! I have been a Christian and the first time I learned about the didgeridoo I seen it again in a magazine less than a minute later! WOW!

[@Andrea2catsmom]

2024 and just had an urge to listen to didgeridoo and found this site!❤

[@juliniemann483]

❤❤❤

[@rafaeldejonghe7219]

Hey. Nice vidéo. I'm playing Didj since 2 years, and when he says "while I play, I shut my ryes and begin a fonderful trip...", that's really what happens to me ! Happy to share this.

[@rexluminus9867]

Thank you for sharing it with us.🎉❤😊

[@raysilva8988]

Watching this in 2021 and loved it. Picked up my eucalyptus didge and was trying what you were teaching. Love this!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your gift.

[@joanburgess2155]

What a beautiful art museum and fritz outstanding!!!

[@martinkeilaus470]

2024 and I have just come across this video, I am learning to play Dige and loving it, I have been fascinated by the dige for many years and got the chance to do a dige workshop on a retreat this year. Bought a dige and now loving the learning. Thanks for your knowledge! :)

[@orckaso6513]

Nice, In Europe you got something similar, and they call it "Alpen Horn" also a very old instrument they use it to call the animals at home, or in the war time to call, transmit different messages.

[@johnsutton5786]

It is the same principle but with termites they leaves grooves inside the didge that makes a great sound but also cause back flow and all of your air does not go straight out. Termites make the best sound and authenticity.

[@MrSwissfrank]

Awesome Pitz! My first lesson and I stumble on the best! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!

[@PitzQuattrone]

Happy to know you liked it so much, Mr. Swiss!

[@lemurianseahorse]

I hope you get to read this, even though your event was 8 yrs ago. I had forgotten how much I loved the Didgeridoo, It was Divine Intervention to come across this video. Its very grounding to me. Just what I need in this time on Terra/Mother Earth. Your a great teacher and clearly had lifetimes in Australia! Do you still make CD's? I would love to support your artistry. Thanks for rekindling my inner passion of this instrument!

[@susanwills4723]

I find the didgeridoo fascinating. How many different sounds can come from this instrument. To watch someone playing it is pure magic. As is this video, pure magic . Thank you so much. I love Australia and it’s aborigines.

[@davidmartinez3375]

Maximun respect for your explanation about yidaky... One of the best i find on internet... thanks for it

[@cardinalflower6959]

You are an excellent presenter and performer. You had me spellbound!

[@PitzQuattrone]

Thank you Cardinal, you are very kind!

[@danielrochat5968]

I do love Australia and Australian cultures I have been there and visited the country came back home with a couple of didgeridoos I can play love to play thanks for video.

[@marffvmarffv5438]

Hi and thanks a lot for your excellent presentation, really appreciate your way to share this world of sounds provided by didge.

[@dianarussell6278]

I have been in love with the sound of a digg since I first heard one. I just got my very first digg. I hope I can learn to play it. The circular breathing will be the hardest.

[@redneckhippiefreak]

Imagine, high on a bluff, against the summer sunset rests a small clay and stick mound. Below are thousands gathered to celebrate the solstice. As they gaze upon its setting on the hill, a creature emerges from the mound above., He is but a shadow against the red sky appearing as if an Ant eater was emerging from a termite mound. He paces upon the bluff, his long trunk swinging in time... He then takes note of the people below. He turns to them, raises his long truncated mouth to the air and Speaks...This unearthly sound is emitted, reminiscent of the nature around them, as the rhythmic tones increasing with every round, it's breath is seemingly endless.. It speaks to the masses below in a tongue they can not fathom yet somehow, it is known to them in the very depths of their soul. It is the embodiment of the end of the Universe, Seeking to consume the termite builders of it, and, warning us of our own demise with them.... And that is what We humans call, "A Religious Experience". And I can see why.

[@twentyfirstidentity]

Wait. There's images of people AND ANIMALS playing the didgeridoo?? Holy ****!!!

[@Unknownhumans45]

Has to be hybrids human-animals.

[@sudarshanjuyal]

Amazing and informative.... Must make one and play now....

[@stickom]

9:15 "creating a Milky Way"... phenomenal story!!

[@HippoDorm]

I only want to visit Australia for this magical instrument Didgeridoo 😮

[@ROY-COLLEY]

Its such a Shame that we couldn't hear the questions, and replying. We could have learned a lot more. I'm sure some of the questions would have been very helpful and interesting.

[@niolowprofilestudio2370]

Amazing advices and teaching great video and thank you 🙏 hope one day i can play like that and i will

[@billymiller1249]

GROOVY BABY IT IS ROYAL

[@coraandhernicebangs7703]

i love hilight tribe so i impulsively bought a didgeridoo, now i am trying to learn, im having difficulties with my breathing and i get frustrated easily but watching videos like this pushes me to really learn it.

[@susannelson6879]

FANTASTIC PITZ !!!!!!!! great job !!!!!!

[@robgoldthorpe]

Well done mate, enjoyed that.Peace, love and light.

[@PitzQuattrone]

+Rob Goldthorpe Thanks so much Rob! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Peace, Pitz

[@starshipgravitron238]

Thank You for this Video. I plan on Learning how to play.

[@Indigo1.3897]

Thank you so much for explaining the circle breathing. I thought you had to be constantly inhaling and exhaling at the same time.

[@bigwavesoundtherapy]

Outstanding Performance and knowledge. You inspire all of us. I have had a fascination with the didge and you have only sparked it in my sound healing.

[@guitarra-simplista]

It has a very spiritual quality! Nice!

[@forestweston5055]

Fellow didj player in Maine, here, been playing since 2009. I hear you on the wax mouthpieces; my solution is to use a plastic tuba mouthpiece, cut short and bored out to a little over 1/2”. I then set the modified mouthpiece into the beeswax ring for the perfect, reproducible, mouthpiece with great back pressure. Wonderful presentation, brother! I’ll be participating in a sonic healing session on the coast of Maine for the upcoming summer solstice. Peace to the earth 🌏...

[@bfortier5198]

hi, thanks for tips. can you upload pics of mouth piece before and after cut, and also how its installed with wax. i guess there is No wax inside the hole and where mouth in contact??? thanks again!

[@forestweston5055]

@@bfortier5198 , Correct, no wax inside the actual mouthpiece. Just cut the stem off, bore out to 1/2”-9/16” and center inside the bore of the didj. Sorry, not sure how to upload photos in a reply.

[@masterchief586]

It is a very cool instrument. I still might get one by Christmas.😊

[@ÁrpádTóth-x9c]

You are one Nice Teacher!

[@WR3ND]

Got chills on the second howl. Nice.

[@PitzQuattrone]

Sweet, thank you!

[@MrSailor50311]

Excellent program

[@aporphyrias]

watched from first second to last... thank you :)

[@edwardkrzykwa2901]

Wonderful, Extraordinary Music!

[@meeekstubbular]

Very good presentation and great playing! I was amazed you got the cardboard ones! Last year my wife needed maintenance on her sewing machine and the shop we went to had all these empty material tubes and they did not mind me having a couple of them. I poured some varnish to seal the inside, and I was pleasantly surprise how good it was, even sounded better than my real didge! Only one problem I was born a failed musician with no sense of rhythm, so I keep my circular breathing (quite ok)) and my noise for myself in my garage! Two things I like to say though. 1) the story of the sun making I can't hear it, I don't hear well. Perhaps added text would help. 2) you need to listen to kookaburras again! Diges are very good to recreate their sound, Thank you again for nearly one hour of great entertainment. :) PS: not related to Steven Seagal?

[@bfortier5198]

you will develop rythme and tempo as you keep playing. mybe listen to a rythm backtrack as you play. brain as no choice but follow patterns after a while.

[@tristanjoris5115]

really nice done, i use this as an example to give my own workshops too children, its a really good inspiration, great work!!!!

[@albertbeckers6908]

Well explained and for that reason it makes it interesting.

[@PitzQuattrone]

So glad you hung with the show and found it interesting Albert!

[@SlapShox-vp4fp]

This was pretty awesome.

[@elianemonteiro8430]

Thank you Pitz! I wish we could have here in Brazil a good teacher like you! Love the instrument, but there's some technics i just can't get it.. I'm trying to learn and you are an inspiration!

[@PitzQuattrone]

+Eliane Monteiro Thanks Elaine! Love to come visit and share what I know, happy to help if I can. I do Skype sessions, maybe that works for you? Peace, Pitz

[@andydunn5673]

[@gotrandy]

This is so amazing. We LOVE the Didgeridoo. I will be it would sound awesome accompanied by a Hang drum.

[@dianehghzn7670]

This bloke is fantastic one of the best players of didgeridoo’s i’v ever heard wow and a wonderfull story teller with an American accent hahaha 😂

[@djtblizzle]

Freaking amazing!

[@PitzQuattrone]

Very kind!

[@OldSkoolBiker62]

My first didgeridoo was a cardboard tube.. After I learnt circular breathing I went out and bought a split elder tree branch (Didgeridoo).. this was other 30 years ago when finding Didgeridoos here in the UK was near on impossible. I stopped playing for many years as I had taken up playing guitar. but 7 years ago I had to stop playing guitar due to osteoarthritis, so I've just recently got back into playing the didge and have now bought another 3 Didgeridoos.

[@СвятославСлавен]

It's ultimately spiritual and inspiring! So breathtaking)))

[@joanburgess2155]

Pitz sorry you are amazing

[@didgmanofdogwood]

thx good intro for the "iun- digitized"

[@ciaomarco4194]

Just happened upon this fantastic insight in into the Yidaky and its role in the Australian aboriginee culture, and ultimately my world. Respect! I learnt where it came from, its different shapes, sounds and forms with each of them making the hairs on my neck stand up!! Life is for learning, every day's a schoolday, eh? Next time, give Chris a microphone, she was drowned a little ;0) ... truely beautiful, thank you for sharing. BW from South Somerset, UK

[@PitzQuattrone]

Thank you for your kind words Ciao! I'm happy you came across this presentation and enjoyed it.

[@bendredge6947]

I would like to learn this

[@JulioAvalos3000]

Thank you for the wonderful performance. It was wonderful.

[@TheKenturtle]

Thanks didge brother. I heard in Gaelic Didger and Dubh means pipe and black and thus didgeridoo...maybe old Scottts fellas coined the phrase.

[@PitzQuattrone]

+Ken Shapley You're welcome and good to hear from you! The story I'm familiar with on how the word "Didgeridoo" came to be is from the 1st Europeans to reach Oz. They never heard/saw the Didge before, so they simply made up a name based on the sound of the instrument, ie: onomatopoeia, Didgeridoo. Best, Pitz

[@bfortier5198]

very good video. Myself i dont think 6 string acoustic modern styles of playing with its mid/ high pitch fit Tribal style music. Djembe was awesome. i think percussive and winds intruments fits the groove better. An electric bass , now that have possibilities wt djembe and didjiridoo.....

[@farcenter]

Never got the instrument till I heard a real expert play when I had happed to have some excellent mushrooms. It was honestly sublime.

[@jornmulder]

i love the didgeridoo sound ❤❤❤

I just got mine 1st time playing and I guess was cold 🥶 and my didgeridoo is made of bamboo and when I got done playing it cracked in half

Is that an empty bottle there on the wall?

Yes, UVM students put together this empty bottle art installation. It made for an interesting backdrop.

[@Shahina456]

Who is playing the didgeridoo/ yidaki?

[@themountainraven]

Oldest air instrument...for clarification

[@elisabethwilleminavaneveld5731]

It's the same as when I used to do underwater swimming - somehow I;d rebreath my own air so I could stay underwater longer.

But can you play while drinking a cup of water

[@jamesrogalski2085]

The sound of the instrument, the acoustics, wow! I'm a 65 year old evil man. I live in a mobile home park in Southwest Michigan in a rural area. Now here it is almost 2:00 am. I have a 500 watt Radio Shack amplifier with equalizer. Sitting next to the amplifier are 2 four foot tall Boze speakers that some crazy idiot removed the safety retarders out of... Suppose I tie my blue tooth receiver to my little ol smart phone and warm up ye old transistors in the amp? Then play the first part of this You Tube video at maximum capacity outside!!🎉😂

[@jeddacoolwell4812]

Dis fulla noze his shit

[@RickarooCarew]

thank you brother, for the excellent information... I think those dates are correct... they align with dates from Dr Patricia Rey in Australia on the deposition of volcanic ash that opal is found in... and my own for a worldwide extinction event.. I think the indigenous people of Australia are survivors of that event... the thing hit Australia and the whole tectonic plate rotated it northward to its present location.. it also hit Asia.. the Gobi desert is a 2000km impact crater... the object is currently sticking out of New Mexico near where I live... the radioactive isotopes of platinum give both beta and alpha radiation... my dates came independent of Dr Rey's.. you can see it clearly on Google Earth.. large hole in the starboard wing... the Dine called Navajo tell us they entered this, the 3rd World through a straw or reed from deep underground... the 4 sacred mountains of the Navajo are around it.. Mt Taylor sticks out of the hole in the starboard wing.. put there on the ground... an act of war... we lost ✌️

[@RickarooCarew]

cardboard didge.. add gorilla glue with a little volcanic ash... awesome 😎 add some acetone and it soaks all the way through and carries the dust and plastic into the cardboard... makes it ring like a bell

[@RickarooCarew]

the voice add in is spectacular... fits in with my Mongolian throat singing... music is actually what makes the World go round... ✌️ 🌎🌍🌏 Peace

I daresay old chap, that the clapping of 2 rocks and the smacking of 2 sticks or sticks hitting a log far outdates the didge as a musical instrument. What say you?

[@timothylollathin9371]

You explained how whites made their own name for this, but never said what the real name is? How do we pride ourselves with playing the yidaki and it's history as the oldest instrument yet disrespect it by calling it by a made-up name.

[@katedaphne4495]

Unfortunate that the old lady telling the story had a poor narrative voice
