I have to admit I like didjeradoo's. Beeswax and miced through a delay pedal are the two key elements. Or if you can record in a tunnel, that's even better.

Awesome with delays and even Moogerfooger pedals!

The trick to playing the didj is re-breathing. Storing air in your cheeks as you breathe in through your nose.

A good way to understand the concept:

Take a mouthful of water and hold it in your cheek. Now breathe through your nose. Then push the water out through persed lips while breathing through your nose.

Circular breathing is essential to a didge player:

Plus, if you master it, you can finally take away Kenny G's "longest note held" world record title!
