| The yidaki (a Yolngu Aboriginal word for 'Didgeridoo') comes from the North, & North Eastern area of Arnhemland in Australia's Northern territory. Yolngu Aboriginal people from this area have developed one of the most complex performance styles of playing around. The Traditional North east Arnhemland Yidaki, is characteristically different to that of the more contemporary 'Didgeridoo'. Yidaki are made with more of a natural taper and flare, which help to carry the characteristic playing style and allow an easier transition to the horn tone from the fundamental Drone note. These also typically have a smaller mouthpiece, and narrower bore resulting in an instrument which has high 'Backpressure' - meaning they are easier to play and to learn on. They usually have some form of traditional decoration - all relating to the makers clan and heritage. Mago are traditional 'Didgeridoos' from the Western and Central Arnhemland area - generally shorter instruments, they are typically not played with the horn tone note. They are excellent for playing Western/Contemporary styles whilst superb for the Traditional styles of playing - for which they have been made. Excellent instruments which are saught after by Didgeridoo players worldwide. |
