Plastic Slide Didgeridoo With Travel Carry Bag - 100% Australian-Made Didge by Charlie McMahon

What a fun little didge! (or big didge, depending on the slide position). It's got a rich tone and an interesting personality. The backpressure is fantastic for what it is. Obviously the lower you go the less backpressure, but it's still not bad at all.I put a tuner on and it goes all the way down to A1 with the slide out all the way, but you can't rapidly access it.I would highly recommend this for beginners over other didgeridoos as the highest position provides a very easy learning platform. There is no need for a cruel beeswax mouthpiece either. The rubber one provided feels good.No air escapes around the gap betwen the slides.I like that it's supporting an actual artist (Charlie McMahon) as opposed to a musical instrument company. He pioneered the invention of the slide didgeridoo.If money were no object, you could do better by getting a carbony slide didgeridoo like the one Dayphid Sens plays, but those cost thousands of dollars.Someone commented that the bell fell off. I think this is by design since it makes it easier to clean. It hasn't come off during playing, and I've tried some rather violent movements with it.My only complaint is that I can't reach the lowest positions quickly with my arms. Maybe I'll have to chop them off and get an extension like Charlie's, hehe.

Within 15 minutes of playing this Didjeribone, the flared bell fell off.Update: At the lower end, extended to the lowest tuning, there is an air gap between the two plastic pipes.

I was dubious because, plastic, right? This thing sounds waaay better than I thought it would AND you can tune to other instruments!

Bought this for my son who loves it! He fitted it with some new bees wax on the mouth piece which I guess is normal.
