[@johnnyclark4548]

Wow I only saw the sad news after my post. I am so sorry for your loss. The firs time I heard a Didgeridoo was Rolf Harris playing it live at a show in South Africa, I was only 9 years old and fell in love instantly with the soothing sound. RIP David you are missed

Luv this. The older I get, the more I realize just how important it is to pass down customes from out past ancestors. If not, they will all b lost forever. Super cool.

The termites eat the part which is considered dead wood quite often sealed off due to an earlier wound that the Tree has suffered, while the Tree carrys on growing, the wound is usually a forest fire in the Euclyptus Trees life which damages the young Tree but does not kill it.

[@eolden7749]

David was know as the didgeridoo Master. Sadly he passed away some time ago. He went out to hunt for trees to made didgeridoos out of and was never found.

[@bigoneeye4531]

returned to the earth

[@tayyabsafdar7069]

He was an aborigine, had he been a white Australian the authorities would have dug whole of Australia up side down. Please don't mind, it is the statement, simply saying, that he was not found. A star musician just Vanished.

[@francisfischer7620]

I bet that was by choice.

Brilliant, thanks so much 👍👍👍

[@michaeltaylor8835]

In 1998 Djoli Laiwonga died, and Blanasi retired in solitude to a home in Bamyili. He went missing in August 2001, reportedly after going out to search for wood to be used in instrument-making. Newspaper coverage brought the situation into the public eye, and his disappearance generated widespread speculation. As of 2020, no trace of Blanasi has been found. Although his body was never found, his family eventually held a funeral ceremony for him. His grandson, Darryl Dikarrna, continues his tradition in the White Cockatoo Performing Group, after being appointed successor by his grandfather.[7]

[@MiniMeags]

Thank you for this information!!!! I'm going to go see if there's anything Darryl has publicly said to use as a recourse for my uni project on didjeridu's. It's super sad to hear that Mr Blanasi went missing and has not been found, I hope he is resting peacefully if he happened to of passed away :(

[@frankrothe7023]

I also like to see humans little helpers, the termites, who made the trees hollow in the beginning, what a nice example of human and animals working together. 😉

[@vittoriobesio1788]

...video eccellente sulla preparazione,grazie🌹🙏

[@johnnyclark4548]

The sound David extracts is magical and mesmerising. The art on the Didgeridoo is insane, I love it and can look at it for hours. Thank you David for sharing your expertise with us.

[@welshwizard822]

The best, everyone that picks up a didge knows his name. His spirit lives on

[@ozmadman]

thanks Guan, brilliant!!!

[@ZeldaboyOG]

I like how he referred to the paint as "skin color". Both were very smart and talented.

[@leonardodahumanoid4344]

That is one of the most beautiful Didg l ever saw. If l ever do make one that really sounds good l'd like to try painting like that. Those two men seemed to have a really good rapport.

[@canadianclaude]

chilling! enjoyed very much. Got internet at home today. This is my first time on youtube, love it. And didge and hang sounds great to hear at 1am in Portugal. I especially love Matsumoto, who I had the pleasure of meeting at FATT, Portugal.They knicknamed me big mama and I have there brilliant CD. Hope you are enjoying yourselves guys, I certainly am. xx

David went missing in 2001, he went walkabout and never came back. Most people including me think he just didn't want to found.

Sadly the master is no longer with us. You can buy his instruments but they fetch a fair price!!

[@TemplarX2]

if you put a few holes at intervals would it act as a big flute of course with lower pitch?

[@Pumba5060]

No i don't think so ! I think it would not sound like a flute because nothing kind of "whistles" with a didge like it does with a flute ! ... A didgeridoo vibrates exactly like a trumpet ! It is considered as a brass instrument (i don't know how to say it in english, in french it is " les instruments de la famille des cuivres") - litteraly " copper" ! Maybe we could combine these two techniques ? ^^ a sort of whistling sound in a didge !

[@Ucceah]

there are didges with holes like a flute, and they work exactly, as one would expect - the longer the resunance tube, the deeper the pitch. of course that doesnt make whistle, but the pitch chages are based on the exact same physical principles. and there is the telescopic didgeribone.

[@nthomas87]

@@Pumba5060 noooo… if you purse your lips like you do for a trumpet, it’ll sound like the alphorn in those Ricola commercials (or a viking horn). For trumpets and the like, you expel air through tight lips. For didgeridoos, you want your lips to be loose, as if imitating a horse.
