The Original Didgeridoo was made by the Aborigines from down - TopicsExpress



          

The Original Didgeridoo was made by the Aborigines from down under.They first found hollowed out Eucalyptus branches to use to make the first didges. The branches were hollowed out by termites and the didge makers would find these branches and clean then out, make a mouthpiece.They would whittle the mouthpiece to shape it and then use beeswax to make a good didge playing seal and to make it easier to play. The didgeridoo is as indeterminably old instrument and different tribes had different myths and traditions centered around it. It was reported by one early European explorer of the continent of one Aborigine tribe: “This was used by the Aboriginal men as a magic charm for obtaining wives” I do not know how successful that was, but there are also some tribes who apparently don’t allow women to play, although most seemed more open minded about the whole thing and often any of the men woman and children could play although it was common for only men to play in ceremonies
