Telescopic Didgeridoo Beginner Pack

In short: The pack to get started with an adjustable didgeridoo: the Telescopic Didgeridoo, its carrying bag and Gauthier Aubé’s learning method, at a reduced price.

The Telescopic Didgeridoo: A PVC didgeridoo that adjusts from low B to high G. Thanks to its four nesting tubes, it goes from 64 cm folded to 195 cm extended. It weighs only 1.7 kg and comes with its carrying bag.

Each tube has a slightly flared end: the sections cannot come apart by accident when you extend it, and the seal stays optimal at full extension. The last part, with the mouthpiece, has a red seal that prevents air leaks.

The notes: It covers eight notes: B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F and G. Fully extended, the first slide gives the notes from B to E; with the second slide folded, those from D# to G.

You change notes while playing, simply by sliding the instrument. A friction lock stops it from retracting on its own, with no lubrication needed.

My advice: You can reach A# fully extended and G# fully folded. However, I recommend stopping at B and G, to keep the best seal.

For more accuracy, mark the lengths that match exactly the notes you want with a permanent marker, using a free chromatic tuner app on your phone, such as “Tuner Pitched”.
