Making a Didgeridoo With Tristan O'Meara

[@macb124]

I truly love the sound of a Didgeridoo. I have one made of Black Bamboo. Love playing it

[@CAM-to6wy]

You create art that makes music. Beautiful!

[@rhysmonaghan8822]

I just received my Yidaki made from him today and mate I recommend getting one. This man is a legend at making these and it’s one of the best didges I’ve ever played. I play Didge for an indigenous dance troupe up here in SE QLD and they all love it too. Thank you for sharing our culture my brother. 🖤💛❤️

Great story! Thanks for sharing!

[@StopFear]

Hi, I am sorry but I cannot understand what was said from 0:30 to about 0:38 something about a “pit and giant fellow”?

[@flannelettevids]

He mentioned an indigenous name followed by his tribe. Something along the tribes of “I met Waru (then his surname) he was a Pitjantjatjara fulla”

[@saulriosjimenez1971]

Excellent job!

[@NoahfromEarth]

Can someone please tell me how to clear the log or piece of bamboo out?

[@zanothetrippa420]

termites do it for you

[@NoahfromEarth]

@@zanothetrippa420 thanks for your serious reply

[@zanothetrippa420]

@@NoahfromEarth i am been serious, a traditional didgeridoo is hollowed out by white ants (termites)

[@NoahfromEarth]

@@zanothetrippa420 you’re right I’m sorry 🥲 is this done now days? For example for a solo traveler in Europe wanting to make his own didge?

[@zanothetrippa420]

@@NoahfromEarth hey mate, unfortunately white ants (termites) are only native to australia and if your wanting to make a didgeridoo over in other country’s fortunately their is other methods of doing this. search up; sandwich hollowing a didgeridoo, you’ll need a few power tools. nothing to difficult

[@Teachaman2fish88]

Can I ask how you remove the internal fibers in the bore? Does it it have to be smooth for it to work properly? I was given a didg as a present from my wife. Again to try and help with seasonal affected disorder. My playing is shocking. But at least it a thing to focus on instead of the proper dark shite. I’m now not sure if it’s only me that’s not playing the digg right. Or if the didg is properly finished. The circle breathing is hard as well. Lol

[@SpiritGallery]

termites hollow the inner bore..only the bottom few inches of the didgeridoo are chiselled to improve sound

[@alexandregouillot-mm1yj]

I have one yidaki o meara 78

[@memofrancia1997]

Hello Brother. thanks for your videos. What wood do you use? Greetings from South America

[@fracksha4428]

I guess anyway bamboo what most are but Aboriginal people traditional Aboriginal people use a tree in arhem land where the didgeridoo originated from and to get it hallow traditional Aboriginal people there know when the right tree has been hallowed out by termites they just easily push the inside out its so soft cause the woods been eaten inside.

[@maxl3189]

Eucalyptus is the best
