Choosing A Didgeridoo Microphone
Choosing a microphone for didgeridoo.
Note: in video 30:16 I meant to say roll off low frequency, not high frequency!
Regarding sound pressure level (spl) of a mic. Unless you have very loud stick and close miked, 130 dB spl or over should be fine

Extra note re video: higher cost condensers can be more transparent & less forgiving than some cheaper ones that won't capture all the detail as well. So that relationship/difference between dynamics and condensers also exists to some extent between condensers & condensers. It's all relative!

    • @johnthorpedidge
      @johnthorpedidge 2 місяці тому

      For my lips yes it's around 28mm but that will vary from person to person. Best to experiment with different mouthpiece sizes. You can use beeswax or something you can mould to change shape to experiment with. Getting the right size for your own lips is pretty important. When you have found ideal size you can then make a solid mouthpiece either from something like wood, milliput etc. Also you might find the size may change after playing. Eg I started off with about 30mm plus for about a couple of years, then after my lips got tighter in vibration I needed smaller mouthpiece, hence, around 28mm I use now.

    My didge is so long and low (like c or b drone) that most of my vocals come out quite growly, it sounds ok when I get it right in a meditative sorta way but I've ordered a cheap meinl slide didge to get more of an idea of the pitch/key i feel happy in. The backpressure is quite a lot to deal with as a beginner, as you said sometimes 20 mins is enough.

    • @johnthorpedidge

      You can get some nice contrast with high pitch vocals on a low key stick like a b but not so helpful if it's harder to play as a beginner. I'm sure your new stick will be helpful so good luck with it🤗.

Quite pleased with progress tbh but i have a question about didge care and repair, I have a teak instrument and it's sounding good but i have identified a cpl of leaks, just small pinholes in the knots so I'm wondering how to go about filling them. My initial thought was to just try and get some superglue in there, or maybe inserting a wooden cocktail stick and glue in place then sand off. What is normally done with pinholes like this?

      Larger holes PVA glue mixed with sawdust, very small holes just PVA glue be fine. Hairline cracks use slightly watered down PVA glue. I use Evostick weather proof glue in the blue container. Also PVA glue much better than super glue because PVA doesn't go rock hard which allowed it to expand and contract a little with the woods movement. Hope that helps 🤗

    Thank you for this video. I just got my didgeridoo today and have been practicing it all day. I have a question. I can get a drone that sounds good ,but I have to buzz my lips like a horse to get it. The only problem is when I go to circular breath and force the air out of my mouth, to breath in, the sound is higher pitched than the drone is when I'm breathing out. So it doesn't flow very well. I tried raising the pitch of the drone when I'm breathing out, but when I do it sounds like a neverending fart. What can I do to improve it? Is there anyway to lower the pitch of the mouth drone when I'm breathing in? So basically I want the drone of when I'm breathing out to sound like the drone of when I'm breathing in.

    • @johnthorpedidge
      @johnthorpedidge 4 місяці тому

      Sounds like the air pressure/ lip tightness is too tight on your in breath. Try and focus your attention on in breath through nose but particularly on what you're doing, IE, how forceful you squeezing cheeks in or pushing jaw up or tongue depending on how you circular breathe. That way you can learn how to drop the air pressure inside your mouth as you breathe in. Another practise that may help is to practise different lengths in breaths, eg, short sharp in breath, medium and long in breath. On the long sniff in you're slowing it down which may help you to be aware of and reduce pressure so that it begins to match the out breath. Hope that helps🤗

At the beginning, I'm using tongue technique, so you won't learn much by seeing my mouth on didge at that point, though you can see my mouth on didge with that later on in video. If you didn't get anything out of this video or my teaching I suggest you go and check out some other videos by other didge teachers, as there are some good didge tutors out there and not everyone is going to gel with my teachings. Also I put a lot of effort into my online videos that are free that is thankfully appreciated by many. Hope you achieve what you're looking for on the didge Best John

    This is clearly the part of the 4-count wobble that i need practice on. I can play the rhythm no problem but as soon as I try to breath on the wah, I lose the rhythm. It's interesting because reversed is easy where you do one push and 2 breaths or 2 wats but reverse it and do 2 pushes and 1 wat and it becomes some alien rhythm to my muscle memory even though it's literally the same 3 count beat. The psychology of music

    • @johnthorpedidge

      Practise it without the stick as it's often easier to get the new muscle memory. So, do the double tongue push while breathing or circular breathing. It can be tricky trying to do breath at same time as tongue wobble/double push.

      @@johnthorpedidge I do that's how I figure out circular breathing. I would just be vibrating my lips all day. I'm going to try with this too

    Thanks for this video.👍 I understand now my issue is the PapaWa part. I have no problem doing the 3-count wobble, but I've been trying to figure out the 4 count for months and it's just not clicking. At least I know what to isolate now and practice. I'll be sure to check out the other video. Just need to figure out the technique and build the muscle memory same as the 3-count. I can do them independently but when i try combining it my muscle memory goes back to the 3 count.
