Wulu Marawili yiḏaki F#/A (HLY-473) SOLD

$750

Out of stock

A short, highly-charged yiḏaki from Yilpara (Baniyala) homeland from the Blue Mud Bay area. I have seen several instruments from Wulu, he is consistently delivering the same quality: solid, good sounding classical yiḏaki. This particular instrument has high backpressure, therefore I recommend it for experienced players. The sound is sharp and full of high-pitched harmonics. The instrument is extremely responsive for tongue movements, so it is a great stick to sharpen your ‘yiḏaki-language’. Highly recommended for traditional players.

Key: F#/A
Length: 118.5cm
Mouthpiece internal diameter: 2.7cm
