I recently recieved a didjeredoo from a friend as a gift. I am now able,
because of this site, to work on learning this musical device in a
rewarding way. I am looking forward to practicing the information that
you have so wonderfully provided. Thank you, and I will try to let you
know how things have gone in the future.

Hi Toyoji,
I just want to say thank you for this terrrrific server of yours!! Over
six months I return at times to see what's new.
As far as I can see, it is still the best one on the web.
I like most the sound samples from the CDs I can't get here anywhere.
They are a big inspiration for my playing.
So long and please keep up the good work.

P.S. Great web site. Excellent source of info. with a good message.
In the sea of information and technology of our age it becomes
disheartening to see a culture that in many ways is more advanced
than our western world, slip to the way side, lost to the ignorance
of the many. I am glad there are people like you that refuse to let
this happen.

Wow. I was really pleased to see the didj web site. Looks great and is
useful. I've been playing for about 4 years. I was taught by a Yagembah
man (Brisbane area, spelling varies). I'll try to contribute something
in the near future. Keep up the good work.

Mr. Borman:
You are to be congratulated on your thoroughness in setting up the W3 server.
I set out to find "something" for my Australian-American daughter, Erica,
who is a cadet at West Point and a recent recipient of a new didj which she
intends to master. I did not expect to find such a wonderful source.
Thanks once again for your hard work. Incidentally, there is a shop in the
City Cross Arcade in Adelaide (just off the Rundle Mall) which sells high
quality didj's which a gentleman (who can play quite well) able to
demonstrate them. I have forgotten the name of the man. It seems that the
quality is better than at Tandanya.

Hi, Sean...
I checked Yahoo on a whim to see if I could find any info about digeridoos.
Isn't the Web amazing? So here I am. I just wanted to say, you have a very nice
site here. I do Web pages as a consultant, and it's a pleasure to see such a
well-organized and content-rich site. Keep up the good work! I hope I have as
good luck finding a digeridoo...
Regards,
Terry

Dear Sean,
I was looking at your discography of Yidaki (dideridu) recordings and
noticed you have the YY recordings listed only in the non traditional
section. In fact both albums you feature contain pure traditional
performances from the Gumatj and Rirratjingu clands of the Yolngu people
of North East Arnhem Land in The Northern Territory of Australia. Some
of the best non Aboriginal players I know are using these tracks to
learn from.
Great Site. We get a lot of traffic to our site and many people have
mentioned your site.
Regards Alan

Thanks a lot for a very informative page. My Grandma recently visited
Australia and bought me back a didjeridu. I have looked at your pages
giving tips on how to play the didj and hope that I will now start to have
more success than I was having when trying to play it without any
knowledge of how to do so. I also Thought that your pages were presented
in a very nice fasion and dew to limited graphics (except for the great
gecko pictures) the pages were also fast to view.
Thanks Again for a Great page!

Hi Sean,
Yes, thanks to you and Dreamtime I've made contact with some very
interesting people who seem eager to share the magic of the Digi with
others. I was raised in a family where thanks to my mother, there was
music all the time, but in my 45 years I'd have never predicted I
would somehow mysteriously be drawn to a primative instrument that
somehow seems trapped in mankinds evolution. Odd don't you think in
a technological/information age such as ours that such a primal sound
would find such renewed interest.
I work in the high-tech end of the entertainment industry and am
ususally known for my inovative work in creating visual effects, but
the haunting sound of this prehistoric woodwind, made me take a
moment to reflect on the real world, in areas such as where its been
and where it might be going. I guess thats natural at this point in
my life, especially as the father of 5 children.
My interest was first sparked by a program on the Learning Channel,
when I happened upon a special depicting a native digi player, first
making his instrument, then playing it endlessly while sitting on a
rock overlooking some grand vista. The sound has been trapped in my
subconcious ever since. Where, I would think, would anyone from
Clifton Park, New York ever have the opportunity to gain more
information on a subject as apparently as obscure as a Didgeridoo?
Ah, the Internet, you can find anything here.
Thanks again,
Tom Culnan

I hope you received my first e-mail. If not: you have a great web-site.
It has been of help to me. I have downloaded and printed all the help
files and have been able to learn a bit already. Only the breathing-part
is a problem still. Well anyhow, I want to ask you if I may use some of
your pictures for my own website. I am relatively new, so maybe it is
allowed always but I want to ask anyhow. I want to start my own page
about didgeridoos because I am absolutely fascinated by them ever since
I saw them the first time about eight years ago. I will be looking for
various stuff and maybe make stuff. If i have anything interesting I'll
send it to you. Okay, bye for now from the Netherlands,
