French manufacturer of didgeridoos using the Sandidg method

Alex, who is he?

"My passion for making didgeridoos came to me quite naturally in 1994, when I first discovered the instrument. I then made maple instruments in the family woodworking workshop. But it wasn't until many years later, during my first trip to Australia, that I became interested in making didgeridoos from termite-hollowed Australian eucalyptus. Since then, I have worked with multiple types of wood and developed various manufacturing techniques. Always remaining curious about new woods, new protective materials, and new instruments, I am constantly enriching my skills and expanding my range of instruments."

How does Alex make his didgeridoo?

"The technique I use involves making the instrument in two parts, then gluing these parts together. The main distinguishing feature of the 'sandwich' didgeridoos I make lies primarily in the choice of wood; I don't choose a branch as a starting point, as many do, but I buy freshly cut or planed wood, perfectly dry, carefully selected, and of high quality, which I then completely carve inside and out. This method allows me to create any shape; my only constraint is the dimensions of the original piece of wood." Alex
