Didge Tall Paul is a legend, I have several didges two of them made by Paul and they both play unlike any other. A true craftsman. I'm still saving my pennies for a 3rd TP didge
Just bought my first didgeridoo today , looking for some tips and information on how to play ..... I found Paul , the lively man I bought it from in the video, thank you so much for a beautiful instrument that looks as good as it sounds 🕉 Salvador Bastian 😎
That was informative as I've only just started on the Didge. Can I ask where in the UK your from ? I'm in Cardiff, and its real hard to find a half Decent Didge.
Great video mate, can you answer this for me, should a didgeridoo be completely hollow inside, may sound stupid but mine has some sort of obstruction quarter of the way down
Do you have evidence of the petrified wood Didgeridoo? Please share the evidence. Do you claim that this instrument originated in Ireland? Do you remember the comment you made to me in France when I visited your Stall at "Le Reve de l'Aborigene"? I was there to perform and hopefully sell some instruments. You told me I was "encroaching on your business" by bringing my Instruments from Australia.
Hi Lewis, I was shocked when I heard him say that on this video too! I lived in Ireland (as a woodworker who plays some didgeridoo!) for 7 years and never heard of such a thing - nor can I find any evidence of it by a thorough search. No didgeridoo, or anything remotely similar, was ever found in a bog in Ireland. This guy does not have enough knowledge and has been very rude to you also.
..search on youtube for the sound of the Romanian Carpathian horn (search this: "Arieseni,muntii apuseni" or "Death announcement bucium"). It sounds quite similary with a didge, and it's played similarly. That instrument is documented since millennia as well (pre-Roman history).
Hi Florin - there was many horns for many millenia (swiss alps sheperds made massive ones) yes but no Didgeridoo. The argument we have with Paul is that he claims an actual Didgeridoo (split in half tree trunk glued back together) was found when it was not - Paul is confusing it with early examples of Uillean Pipes found in a bog (which were not split) We talk here about a specific instrument not general wind instruments. The Didgeridoo is not like other horns. Thanks for your interest though.
lewis i thought we got on well when we met i certainly didn't say you were encroaching on my business it was i didge festival ,why on earth would i be against you bringing your instruments?

You couldn't just let Aboriginal people have this could you? Like I have Aborignal mates who are as white as me, ginger even. But you would have known how to paint it traditionally (which is necessary) if you were, in a meaningful way. I could be wrong, but that's generally how it is for my friends. The Yidika/Yidiki as it is known in Yolngu culture is an instrument only initiated men can play. Sure, a whitefella could be allowed to play one, if they were born in and raised in and accepted in an Aboriginal community. Even gone and lived there for long enough would be enough. But so you know (I can't remember the word) Aborignal people actually have slang words but 'the audacity and the caucacity' springs to mind, to describe white people, not accepted whitefellas, who go and create and don't make any effort to actually support First Nation - so much so that in fact the equivalent of what you just did, in terms of First Nations American people was create a Native American headdress without explicitly being given protection forbear 6yy6
(accidently posted while phone was open on bed lol) Without being given permission* from elders. This is such bad cultural appropriation. If you were Aborignal as well in your bio you would identify your language group and area of family heritage.
Djalu Gurruwiwi's sons actually went on tour a few years back and brought, loved and performed with a didge made by the man in the video, i think that's enough to show that the aborigionals are fine with it considering the spiritual keeper of the didgeridoo's sons approved of this.
If you want to learn Didgeridoo, I think you need to fully immerse yourself into Aboriginal culture and maybe have permission from an actual Aboriginal. It's very disrespectful in aboriginal culture for women to play the Didgeridoo in a formal setting.

Awesome video as always - thank you Paul for sharing your skills!
Close your eyes and it sounds like Gordan Ramsey is explaining the instrument to you
It does. Lol
Yo wtf sometimes i hear grodon ramsay and then i hear a normal british person
Not enough cursing.
I live in NSW-a lot south of NT and the termites make pretty good didgeridoos here.....

Amazing work
It is not true that a split wood didge like instrument was found in a bog in Ireland! Where did you get this story from?
Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome :-)

Great video mate, can you answer this for me, should a didgeridoo be completely hollow inside, may sound stupid but mine has some sort of obstruction quarter of the way down

seen as Djalu has now passed, Larry, his son, is now the keeper, who is the person who loved said didgeridoo

Idk dude certain instruments being exclusive to someonws culture is kinda stupid. As long as nobody disrespects/disregards the culture anyone can play
Shouldn’t be called a didgeridoo if it’s not played traditional
