A performer’s perspective: accelerating growth and mastery in record time
The kickstarter was not just supportive; it was absolutely essential, because the amount of air needed is truly minimal. The mouthpiece is practically perfect: you only need to rest your lips on it, and it aligns itself naturally in position, so there’s no need to blow forcefully and immediately run out of air.
To quickly learn circular breathing, and much more, I had the support of Andrea Ferroni.
The strength of his method lies in breaking it down into many small steps that, practiced repeatedly, make it easy to master circular breathing.

Choosing your first didgeridoo might seem daunting, but fear not, it’s simpler than you think if you trust my experience!
I’ve been at your place more than 20 years ago, and I still remember it well.
The challenge lies in selecting an instrument that truly supports your learning journey, especially when mastering complex techniques like circular breathing. It’s crucial to assess the quality-to-price ratio, particularly when on a tight budget.
If you’ve already invested in an inexpensive didgeridoo from a large online retailer, you may have encountered difficulties, if not impossibilities, in mastering circular breathing. While the initial price may have been tempting, it could lead to the need for a more expensive replacement or even abandonment of the instrument altogether.
Conversely, you may have encountered didgeridoos with hefty price tags. While some may justify their cost, it’s not always the case, especially for beginners. Instead, consider investing in lessons and saving for a well-informed instrument choice in the future. Write us and book a private lesson with Andrea Ferroni.
Our proposal is to provide you with an excellent instrument, designed specifically for its purpose, and to give you the right support throughout your musical journey. This is reflected in the reviews of many musicians and performers who continue to improve with my Kickstarter.
I want to emphasize once again:
spending too little on cheap, inadequate instruments for learning is not only pointless but ultimately harmful.
Similarly, it’s a mistake to spend excessively on instruments sold as “professional,” often with the promise that they are suitable for any technique. This promise is frequently made by sellers and builders, but I find it truly astonishing, because it’s simply impossible!
Imagine if a car or motorcycle dealer sold you a bike saying it’s perfect for any terrain—whether for off-roading in the mountains or racing on a track. Ridiculous, right? Want to stay in the realm of musical instruments? Is there a guitar that suits every style? Simply put, no.
But enough chatter, let’s focus.
Right now, you need a didgeridoo that’s easy to play yet versatile, suitable for various techniques used by experienced musicians. While some may promise otherwise, there’s no one-size-fits-all instrument.
Here’s what I propose:

The Opinion of a Proficient Student
I own several didgeridoos, some of which I tried to create myself in the past, and others that I purchased here and there. I already knew how to make them sound fairly well, but the turning point was buying a KickStarter in E created by Andrea.
This instrument immediately made me understand where and what I was doing wrong with the other instruments, what the differences in sound pressure were with the much lower-pitched instruments I owned, and where I needed to focus in my practice to “fine-tune” my technique. Let’s say that the Kickstarter helped me significantly in understanding how a good instrument should sound, and as a result, I always use it for practice and as a “reference didj” when something doesn’t work well with other instruments, helping me overcome my limits.
The frustration and feeling of not being able to play certain things vanished with the Kickstarter; if you can’t play something with the Kickstarter, keep practicing because the problem lies with you and not the instrument, at least for the things I intend to learn at the moment. It’s a beautiful instrument to look at, very comfortable and satisfying to play, with good output volume, and it’s indeed an excellent instrument/friend to progress in practice, also very useful alongside more “difficult” instruments with different construction specifications.
Also noteworthy is Andrea’s friendliness and professionalism in providing all the useful clarifications about the instrument and the purchase, which definitely adds value to the handcrafted instrument, carefully designed, and already precious in itself. A purchase that I definitely recommend.

The Opinion of an Advanced Didgeridoo Player
My name is Jordi, and I’ve been a passionate didgeridoo player for many years.
I own over 30 didgeridoos from reputable makers, spanning various styles including contemporary, hemp, and traditional.
I first discovered Andrea’s Kickstarter project through Facebook, where I noticed an amazing player I follow frequently using this instrument.
If such an experienced musician endorses this didgeridoo, it must be exceptional.
My interest peaked when I read that it’s touted as the “easiest didgeridoo to play.”
Intrigued, I reached out to Andrea to place my order. When I shared the news with my friends, their excitement was contagious, and we ended up ordering three didgeridoo!
The shipping to Australia was impressively quick, and the didges arrived today. After just a few minutes of playing, I was absolutely impressed.
These instruments feel incredible and may quickly become some of my all-time favorites. They are remarkably easy to play; all the techniques work seamlessly on them, allowing me to explore various styles.
Plus, their lightweight design makes them perfect for travel. The entire experience—from the ordering process to the craftsmanship—has been outstanding. I can easily see myself playing this didgeridoo for the rest of my life.
My friends share the same level of excitement!
Thank you so much, Andrea, for creating such a truly special instrument!

Opinion of a proficient musician/organizer in the German didgeridoo scene.
I totally love your Kickstarter. Usually, it is in my Van and I play it outside. As it is super easy I often take it for my walks. Every time I play it I am amazed with the sound… mostly with traditional techniques.
I was absolutely surprised by the sound quality. Even though many people might expect fiberglass to produce a synthetic tone, I must say I didn’t expect such a warm sound.
Sometimes it is too easy to play… the toots just come from themselves.
When I change back at home to my original Yidaki the things I played with the Kickstarter don’t work so easily on them.
Just amazing… when you come next year to the Didgeridakel I’ll buy one or two more for my teaching lessons.

The opinion of a performer and didgeridoo maker
Hi Andrea! These days I’ve been practicing intensively with the wooden didgeridoo, and every time I play it, I discover something new it gives me. It’s truly an amazing instrument! Compared to its fiberglass twin, it’s a completely different world, maybe as a listener, the difference isn’t huge, but as a player, the feedback you get from a wooden instrument is unmatched.
Even though I’ve always been skeptical about mass-produced instruments, I have to say this one is incredibly versatile, absolutely TOP-notch!
You always stand out for your great technical skills and refinement. Amazing work!

The Opinion of an Ambitious Student.
I bought my first didge in 2022. It was a cheap PVC. Got the drone going immediately but struggled with circular breathing.
I got the tip to look into the Kickstarter and after I bought it, it started to work out rather quickly.
I believe it’s because it was designed to make everything as easy as possible!
Nowadays I mostly play fatnecks in lower notes than E, but always when I want to practice stuff, that I as a beginner find hard, I return to the Kickstarter. I also have recommended it to Swedish friends, who bought it and learned from it.

The Opinion of a student with a holistic approach
I tried the new Kickstarter and I wanted to tell you right away that I’m very happy with the instrument. I still need to get to know it better, but my first impression has been very positive, and as you assured me, it’s easy to play. I realize now that I had been using an instrument that was challenging for a beginner, and while it certainly served its purpose, it also caused me quite a bit of frustration and discouragement at times.
Passion and good teaching keep you moving forward, but the responsiveness I’ve experienced now will surely help me a lot in pursuing the goals I’ve set for myself. Initially, I chose this instrument because its lightweight material made it effortless to carry around (I take it on the train and subway), but now that this advantage is combined with the ease of play and sound quality, I have to say I’m doubly thrilled!
