Combine the world's oldest musical instrument with the world's oldest and most durable material and what do you get? The most resonate, rich sounding didjeridoo that has ever been created outside of Australia.

A leather tube is formed and either stitched or glued together and decorated then sealed inside and out with environmentally friendly epoxy resin. The goal is to make the very best sounding didjeridoo. it must play easily and have some artistic value. Since 1993 I have made hundreds of didjs out of every conceivable material. I have played over a thousand different didjs and in 1996 started making them from agave stalks and was positive I could never make a better sounding instrument. Wrong! In 1998 I realized the leather was an excellent material to use for making didjeridoos.

in 2001 I refined the process and found the perfect type of leather for my endeavor. Being able to control the length, volume, taper, bell size and shape, I have created didjeridoos that I believe have a unique sound quality that can be found in no other didjeridoo regardless of origin.
