Yidaki D*a*u Gurruwiwi Healing
My Comments: From the global gaming community, to collectors to didgeridoo enthusiasts, old man D*a*u Gurruwiwi needs no introduction. Renowned as the “best” craftsman, his yidakis are revered for their exceptional qualities. Since his departure in 2022 for dreamtime, his instruments have been extremely rare to obtain.
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.
