Great if it’s help you Allister! Yes cheeks are useful in some case but sometimes, even more for beginners, it’s easier to deflated it. Keep going in practicing. :-)
I just got my didge from thomann, a teak one. Had a quick practice earlier and hit a decent drone in about 20 mins but only get it about 40% of the time at the moment. I have a couple of pinhole leaks at the knots to fill and i guess thats quite easy, however I do find the mouthpiece is a little small it measures about 3cm is that normal? Or should it be bigger.
Hello, the standard for mouthpieces is 30 mm. But you're talking about 30 mm. But 28 or 32 mm makes a big difference! Have you started circular breathing? If so, you can access my free course here. It might help! www.wakademy.online/en/lessons-the-circular-breathing/ And above all, I wish you lots of fun!
That’s right Gary! Not sure it’s a mistake or a motivation challenge. That’s a the biggest point : how to find motivation to practice, I guess this is for everything in our life. :-)
I got soooo many questions... i picked up a snail didge... began playing from the side... i did puff my cheeecks... n m nowhere close to figuring out circular breathing... thank you... imma do the half smile
I can read your enthusiasm. Great! :-) ------------------ 1. So indeed, the first step is to manage to play a stable and nice drone. ------------------ 2. If you can play from the front, it's better in the long run, I advise you to do so, I made a video on the subject: th-cam.com/video/L_Da1Sv1iKU/w-d-xo.html ------------------ 3. For the circular breathing, I don't know if you have seen my free course but it can help you ! It's here : courses.wakademy.online/ebook-how-to-play-your-first-rhythms-on-the-didgeridoo Keep playing!

Thanks for the video! Great work.
Thanks! I'm preparing a new video for this week or next week!
Super helpful! I was keeping my cheeks inflated and couldn't figure out why my tongue movements didn't do much

Great information! Thanks a lot!
Thank you (again) Katya! I'm always happy to read a comment like yours!
Just bought a didgeridoo, not very good right now but practicing daily!
Great! Practicing is the most important! Enjoy. :-)
Cool man. I can't play front on I only have so many teeth and my mouth. So I play on the side where it's comfortable
Oh yes indeed in this case, playing on the side may be more suitable. The most important thing is to be comfortable!

Mistake number 6 beginners not practicing daily long enough ( should be mistake number 1) 👍🏼
