  • An early 1998 episode of Outback Adventures with high-adrenalin Aussie bushman and outback daredevil Troy Dann.
    During his TV celebrity peak, Dann was screened into 100 million homes worldwide and was nominated for 2 Logies. Troy Dann went viral even before there was TH-cam!
    Here Troy teams up with didgeridoo maestro David Blanasi to learn how to make and play a didgeridoo in the NT... the process begins with Blanasi selecting a termite-hollowed bloodwood in the bush near his community of Beswick in southern Arnhem Land. The log is stripped of bark, the instrument shaped and excess sapwood removed, then a bit of light sanding before the artwork goes on... Dann helps with grinding the ochres and Blanasi paints with his characteristic brush strokes...
    Dann to Blanasi: "You show me how to play it properly".
    Blanasi to Dann: "I don't know, not enough breakfast!"

      Wow I only saw the sad news after my post. I am so sorry for your loss. The firs time I heard a Didgeridoo was Rolf Harris playing it live at a show in South Africa, I was only 9 years old and fell in love instantly with the soothing sound. RIP David you are missed

    In 1998 Djoli Laiwonga died, and Blanasi retired in solitude to a home in Bamyili. He went missing in August 2001, reportedly after going out to search for wood to be used in instrument-making. Newspaper coverage brought the situation into the public eye, and his disappearance generated widespread speculation. As of 2020, no trace of Blanasi has been found. Although his body was never found, his family eventually held a funeral ceremony for him.
    His grandson, Darryl Dikarrna, continues his tradition in the White Cockatoo Performing Group, after being appointed successor by his grandfather.[7]

    The termites eat the part which is considered dead wood quite often sealed off due to an earlier wound that the Tree has suffered, while the Tree carrys on growing, the wound is usually a forest fire in the Euclyptus Trees life which damages the young Tree but does not kill it.

    if you put a few holes at intervals would it act as a big flute of course with lower pitch?

    • @Pumba5060
      @Pumba5060 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No i don't think so ! I think it would not sound like a flute because nothing kind of "whistles" with a didge like it does with a flute ! ... A didgeridoo vibrates exactly like a trumpet ! It is considered as a brass instrument (i don't know how to say it in english, in french it is " les instruments de la famille des cuivres") - litteraly " copper" !
      Maybe we could combine these two techniques ? ^^ a sort of whistling sound in a didge !

    • @Ucceah
      @Ucceah 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      there are didges with holes like a flute, and they work exactly, as one would expect - the longer the resunance tube, the deeper the pitch. of course that doesnt make whistle, but the pitch chages are based on the exact same physical principles. and there is the telescopic didgeribone.
