I have always wanted to play the didgeridoo but have always thought it would be quite expensive. I recently found out a friend of mine made his own (he calls it a didgeri-drew). It cost him about $5. So I am going to make one of my own. He told me how to do it but I don't know how long I want it to be. Anybody know a good length for a beginner? I heard a G tone is the easiest but how long should it be to achieve that g? Hopefully out of the 34,967 members somebody plays the didgeridoo.
didgeridoo anybody?

Thats awesome! How are you making yours? I've made one out of conduit, PVC, and various other things. Normally around 5 to 7' are the best lengths. Make sure you pack one end with wax/clay to make the opening smaller. Put a little curve in it too if you can....
Awesomely done man!!
Awesomely done man!! I was going for the pvc with a beeswax mouthpiece. I really want to bell out the end but don't know how. Melt pvc with a creme brulee torch then flex?
I was going to make the obvious joke about a skin flute and lengths a beginner should start with, but I'll be the bigger man.
On second, thought......... nah, I'll let it slide.
I know nothing about this didgeridoo thingy, but wish you luck in figuring it out. Sounds cool and would be a cool kickback thing to know.

can play, was never tought, don't know much about making one. i would think a 2.5-3'' pvc and a the wax mouthpeice in like a 5.5' tube SHOULD give you a G-ish tone. (if my music teacher has tought me anything )
