Who is Alex? Alex has been involved with Didgeridoo for almost 20 years now. He is a didgeridoo player, maker and teacher. His passion is education. Alex created a program in 2006 dedicated to the didgeridoo with the aim of transmitting his knowledge in instrument making. Since then he has traveled to schools and other training centers.

Cutting: The trunks are collected in central New South Wales, usually in autumn when sap is not active in the trees. The trunks harvested are real eucalyptus dug by termites. Cut under the authorization of the state government. Alex has a large private property on which he cuts down all the trunks.

Types of Eucalyptus: Alex mainly collects Mallee Eucalyptus, also from the Box Tree.

Drying: The trunks are sold dry (drying for at least 6 months). Alex leaves the bark so they dry more slowly. Of course they are termite free.

  • The trunks are therefore delivered raw! It's up to you to give shape to your future didgeridoo!
