Hand-Crafted Modern Didgeridoo Instrument – Beeswax Mouthpiece, Durable and Lightweight, Ideal for Beginners – Key of C Ohm, Includes Free Mouthpiece and Playing Instructions

I am brand new to the didgeridoo and am enjoying learning on this. I have had it for less than a week and am surprised at how easy it is to learn with just a little time spent on it each day. Mine arrived intact, no broken pieces or cracks. I believe it is plastic ("polymer") made to look like old wood. Mine included the extra beeswax mouth piece that I used to make the opening for my mouth smaller. The beeswax does have a smokey smell which is common with unfiltered, unrefined beeswax (because smoke is used to calm bees when working on hives - beeswax smells smokey until it is filtered and refined). If you want beeswax without smell for a mouthpiece, look for a cosmetic grade beeswax (that you can also use to make your own lip balms and sunscreens).I'm giving this a 5 star rating as it is inexpensive; looks okay, like aged wood (I might paint some designs on mine); works fine for learning some basic techniques; sounds good as far as I can tell; and it is fun to play around with. I don't have anything to compare it to. If I continue to like it and keep playing, I will likely replace this with something better (higher quality and more expensive, real wood maybe) in the future and keep this one around for guests who want to give it a try.

Its really cool. I've never played a didgeridoo but I play tuba for the school band. This was really easy to play and it sounds great. They even give you extra beeswax. 5/5

Well made and great sound quality!

Excellent resonance. Easy to play. Nice beeswax mouth embouchure which fits my small mouth. Interesting bent shape makes it look natural. from a distance it looks like wood up close it's not pretty. This should be perfect for my sound baths. Also much easier to keep clean than my bamboo Didge.

PLASTIC, PLASTIC, PLASTIC!I had a feeling that a wood didge would be more expensive (maybe I didn't read the description close enough "more durable than wood"). Be aware that this didge is made from plastic (PVC probably). It's painted to look like wood, and the look is convincing. Other than that, it plays pretty good. No better or worse than my homemade PVC didge, but it looks nicer. If you are looking for a synthetic didge that doesn't look like a sewage pipe, then this is a pretty inexpensive option. Would be good purchase for someone curious about playing didgeridoo. I gave five stars because it is what it advertises itself to be--a synthetic didgeridoo. Also, it doesn't have the weird chemical smell of regular PVC. I'll definitely be playing this more often than my homemade didge.UPDATE: I have been thoroughly enjoying playing this instrument, and it has quickly become my favorite didge. The sound is booming and with a little adjustment to the wax mouthpiece (extra wax was included) the articulations are extremely clear. The back pressure is pretty good so no problem with circular breathing. This was a great deal!

The USPS attempted to deliver this a couple of days earlier than it was supposed to, then held it because the box was open. I am unclear as to whether it was shipped open, they say it was given to them open. When the postal service saw what was inside they thought it was an antique weapon and refused to release it until I came down to pick it up. It had some nicks around the part that was exposed from bumping and dropping, but it doesn't appear to effect its playability.There is nothing mystical or unique about this didgeridoo. It is a hollow wooden pipe with a slightly musky odor around the beeswax mouthpiece which I am unclear if someone had their mouth on previously. It doesn't have the traditional termite hollowing as would an authentic didgeridoo from Australia, just a smooth, curved bore.I prefer my instruments to have that "homemade" look to them, rather than a crappy, prefab paint job that every other Tom, Dick, and Harry has on the mean streets of Leesburg, Virginia.so I am somewhat pleased with the unique look of this item. After years of practice blowing raspberries into a cardboard wrapping paper tube I am pleased to find that the old skills are still there and I was able to effect a decent drone, much to the dog's surprise, as she ran into the closet and has yet to reappear. Apparently the neighbors don't appreciate my artistic license at 1 am as well. Aside from my performance space malfunctions, I am quite pleased with the outcome of this purchase and expect to be entertaining total strangers in no time with my worldly beatbox/meditative stylings. Now I am off to find some hippie clothes and/or a black hoodie to complete my transformation into a busker.Hey you have to have something to fall back on in this economy, hopefully not while the chainsaws are running...
