Marikuku Wirrpanda yiḏaki E/F# (HLY-530) SOLD

$950

Out of stock

This is a great instrument—another personal favourite of mine due to its shape, warm sound, and playability. It features a tapered, open bore with medium, well‑balanced backpressure. It is easy to play, responsive to tongue movements, and offers a smooth transition between drone and toot.

I really enjoy its warm tone and acoustic qualities, and I recommend this excellent yiḏaki for traditional enthusiasts.

The artwork depicts waŋgupini, the triangular cloud formations that appear above the horizon in Northeast Arnhem Land during the wet season.
