Another top quality traditional didgeridoo from master Ŋoŋu: medium backpressure, sharp acoustics, responsive to tongue movements, great transition between drone and toot, tapered shape and superb craftsmanship. As usual, the detailed artwork is stunning, painted with natural pigments. I recommend this great yiḏaki for traditional players and art collectors.
