Wititj Yidaki
Ein sehr seltener tiefer Grundton in C, ein schwarzes Wititj-Yidaki. Es wurde vor langer Zeit vom Old Man nach einem sehr großen Sturm im Arnhemland gebaut und in einer Zeremonie verwendet, um den Sturm aus dem Land zu vertreiben
Ein sehr kraftvolles Instrument, man hört wirklich etwas Starkes in seinem Inneren ...
Classification
This scale is the result of an air column/bell start ratio If we divide the diameter of the bell with that of the beginning of the air column we get a number between 1.5 and 3.5. We can classify all the didgeridoos in 4 large families. Each family groups the instruments with a similar character, simply based on the overall shape of the air column (conical/cylindrical) and on the diameter of the column (wide/narrow). The result is a simple and very reliable reading grid, making it easier to search and purchase on line.
The diameters are measured with a caliper, start of the air column after the mouthpîece. This ratio is very reliable for a didg having a air column with a 'smooth' internal work, in the case of a hollowed eucalyptus instrument it give an approach of the instrumental character.
