Meinl Percussion Wood Didgeridoo Instrument - Hand-painted 47 inches / 120 cm large Didgeridoo - E Tuning - Bamboo, Multicolored (DDG1-BK)

Looks fantastic for the price, I found the quality of the pain to be really good. I'm not much of a player myself (I enjoy filling my house with instruments I don't play enough) so I cant vouch for the sound too much, but I'd say its a good piece for a beginner and definitely worth it if you want it for the ornamental reasons.

As a beginner who has never played any other didgeridoos I have nothing to compare this to. Saying that, I found it a great instrument - very easy to play with a really nice sound. It's a tough synthetic material (feels a bit like fibreglass rather than plumbing pipe) with a thin wall (for a nice resonant sound). It's very lightweight. Good for propping up around the living room and just grabbing for a quick play of an evening without worrying about it toppling over on your foot!Overall, I'm very happy with it.

After a 6 month stint in Australia, I became really fascinated with the didgeridoo, but wasn't prepared to plunk down $200 minimum to get an authentic one sent home so I could see if I liked playing one. I read about ordering cheap ones and found that plastic ones sound better than the bamboo knockoffs so for £20 I figured this one was perfect to see if I actually enjoyed playing the didge. It arrived crushed on one end (hence the loss of a star) like others have commented, but I superglued the piece that broke off, as well as the 2 other cracks in it, and the thing worked perfectly. I did order a set of beeswax (£3) to make a new mouthpiece as this one is rather large - about 50 mm - when beginners are recommended to start around 35mm and go from there to see what fits their mouths and playing style. Once I got the mouthpiece moulded right, it's just been an absolute blast. In two weeks, I'm doing basic circular breathing as well as more advanced bounce breathing. The drone is a bit low on this long didge so the backpressure might not be perfect for super fast playing (I can't make a good trumpet blast in it either), but I'm finding it more than ok and definitely better than I figured I deserved for the money I was spending. I'll probably consider gifting this exact one to others and shopping for a pro didge addition sometime in the future.

I have bought this for my son he will have lots of fun with it he loves somthing different. Thank you

My first didge and it didn't take long to get a drone/note. Its great to look at too. I look forward to many hours of enjoyment as I learn to play this wonderful instrument. It came very well packaged and its well worth the money in my opinion. I could have got a second hand game for my console for the same money but would I have gotten so much longevity out of it? I think not !

The product is OK as I wanted it as a novelty and for decorative reasons.Unfortunately there is a crack for about 2 ft in it. At first I thought it may be there to make the sound, but now I am not sure.

Really pleased beautifully painted, took me over a month to master being a beginner, there a really good teacher on YouTube called didge mama, at first I thought it was very deep notes but once I learned I started getting the exact notes a didgeridoo makes, it all about tightening your lips enough so they vibrate as you push out sound within not just air, I do find I play better using the side of my mouth, but maybe I need a was mouthpiece to mould.

Sounds like my grandad on the bog, nothing like the aborigines when they blow it.
