How to make a didgeridoo out of PVC pipe - by Prosad

[@toml.8210]

I learned that you can hear yourself better if you put the end into a bucket. Schedule-40 PVC is a high- temperature tubing, so use the ABS tubing. Don't heat it so quickly that it bubbles- the bubbles means it's burning. Heat it slowly, so it gets soft without the bubbles.

cheers Don, thanks for the suggestions

Great video! I’ve also seen people heat up the end and push it over a cone shaped object to give it a natural looking flare. Also, you can take a file or rasp and scrape the length of it and paint the whole thing to look like a stick.

Amazing. This is a phenomenal video. Thank you! I hope to make one real soon.

where do you suggest one gets the bees wax

[@caroldubois8557]

that is not pvc it is abs

[@erictpg]

Good video, just too clear things up at the hardware store, you're not using PVC you are using ABS-DWV (see the shelf price tag in the video). They both come in different wall thicknesses called schedules, Schedule 40 and 80 being most common plus others. With different inside diameters the length measurement might be different to get the same note.

Thanks for the clarification, hopefully that will be helpful to people watching. Cheers!

How do you play it???

[@johnbobbitt6053]

He uses ABS, NOT PVC plastic

[@kevindeherdt1111]

do you think it would Be possible to Make it out of 2pieces to Make it easier for traveling?

[@ProsadFreeman]

Yes, I have seen people do this. You need a good seal - as long as there is not too much air leaking out it will be fine (you need back pressure to play didgeridoo). Let us know if you manage to create something cool!

[@BlackTomorrowMusic]

You can also add bends to make it more compact, but I hear this can be a bit challenging. I bought one at a farmers market that had 2 wide bends to give it a shape roughly like a trumpet. Nice and compact, and it sounds great! That being said, a 2-piece didge would probably work nicely if you can maintain the back pressure.

if out heat the small areas, dose it still keep it in the right keys with the over tones?

[@ProsadFreeman]

In my experience it does keep the right key. The factors that affect pitch the most are the length of the pipe and the diameter. The heated areas don't affect the pitch too much, as long as they are relatively small/subtle.

[@robertheinz9972]

How do you know how long to cut the pipe for different keys? I'd like to make a couple in different keys.

[@ukankallmeal]

You keep saying PVC, but your pipe and fittings are ABS.

[@miniruss123]

I just made it following the video and I can’t play it / make this sound

[@igorstachula]

[@theamaine9788]

When playing a didgeridoo, you have to hold a constant bubble noise with your mouth. It depends on how you play it to get the desired tone quality.

[@vadymradkov5199]

This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it easy with my own hands.

Get all your tools at Harbor Freight, a lot cheaper and will get the job done.
