Welcome

Coming.

In the RealDIDJ gallery, a limited selection of our collection of traditional didgeridoos and bark paintings, which are of high cultural integrity, quality and authenticity are presented. Enjoy!

This mago was crafted and used ceremonially in Maningrida. Wonderful traditional accoustics, very responsive and easy to play.

Having a very good resonance thanks to its thin walls throughout and excellent construction, this is an outstanding instrument which was, understandably, cherished by ceremonial players in West Arnhem Land.

Take a listen to Darrly Dikkarna Brown of White Cockatoo play this lovely instrument.

A very resonant and powerful stick that feels like playing into a bucket.

Rich traditional voice, good backpressure, easy overtone note, ultra comfortable mouthpiece, untouched natural bore and nice flare.

This is a good quality instrument with plenty of texture and grunt. See Larry Winiwini play this yirdaki!

Badari is a hardworking and prolific artists from Gunbalanya (Oenpelli) West Arnhem Land and. He is a listed artist whose work has been exhibited not only in Australia but in Europe as well.

This bark is a very neat work depicting an estuarine crocodile, a totem of the artist.

This was the personal instrument of Nicky Yunipingu, who passed away recently, leaving many deeply saddened. Nicky used this instrument ceremonially in Sky Beach as well as recreationally.

Like many other ceremonial yidaki, entire instrument is taped up. Excellent bass response to the voice when playing tongued accents and very well balanced depth to match. Very responsive instrument.

Have a listen to Nicky Yunipingu himself or look at Youtube vid of Luke Djamanggi playing this yirdaki.

A very good quality mago made by Mialli artist Frankie Lane. Frankie is a diligent craftsman, producing instruments on a regular basis. This instrument is one of the best of all overtone-absent instruments we have had the chance to play.

Particularly suited for White Cockatooo (Bungaliny Bungaliny) style playing. It was called 'good-spirited', meaning that it has got a good ring.

Warning : Aboriginal visitors are warned that this section contains images and voice of the deceased.

This excellent yirdaki was made by Djalu Gurruwiwi and is reminiscent of Djalu's pure work before he got famous, very rough and definitely without any polish or sanding.

The combination of excellent acoustics, responsiveness and depth renders this instrument a superb one. On account of being in the key of F#/G, this is an uncommon yirdaki for a Djalu stick.

This mago, crafted and painted in ochre by Gerard Djaworla, was an IDIDJ Australia reference instrument and was regarded as one of the 'Best Mago' by the IDIDJ Australia.

Djaworla is a recognized artist whose work is exhibited in museums and this mago is a highly collectible item not only due to its wonderful bore characteristics and sound but also the wonderful artwork.
