Is there anything I need to do about the moisture buildup? My other didge is plastic and it is easy to rinse out. What is the recommended care?

You can use some saline spray into it if you worry or mist then use a heat pad or even better if you worry enough a heat gun on low heat. You will not damage the wood if on low heat and control the applied direction. move the heat gun about and do not keep it directed just down into the openings. These are not really likely to develop a mold issue, but there are non toxic sprays or teeatments you can "pour" (diluted?) down into but then....dude...lol, that would just Add moisture into. Just dont worry so much and store the box in a dry place and if need shall arise ,just nuke the damn thing ahahhaha

This is my first didge, as far as technique and ability to play, does learning on a travel one translate to being able to use a full sized didge?

For the most part, yes. There will always be a different feel to a proper didge, especially one that you’ve formed to your mouth as opposed to a round, drilled hole. That said - this is an excellent one to learn on and practice on. It certainly provides ample back pressure (which is Important, especially when learning) and good sound. I would not recommend a pvc pipe or plastic didgeridoo - these provide almost no back pressure and will be harder to learn on and less enjoyable to play. If you are just learning circular breathing, this is a great start. Is not especially loud, making practicing with it less annoying/audible to others around you and actually has pretty respectable sound characteristics. I have a proper, handcrafted 10-foot long Australian didgeridoo that I consider a finely crafted musical instrument but in all honesty, I play and practice this one more often than that because of the sheer convenience, and relative quiet.

Amazing percussion instrument!!! ********** (10 stars)

This travel didg is amazing! Got my first one this morning. Had never held a didg before, although I've researched and studied about them for the past few days. When I put this new to my lips and "rasberried" into it, it took on a life of its own. After a couple of hours I had found the sweet spot, and was able to make numerous sounds. Circular breathing is a little hard but it's coming. This solid Mahogony instrument is a steal at this price. After using it for 6 weeks now, I'm totally sold on its performance and variability. The mouth piece is extremely comfortable - without wax - and measures 1 1/4", which allows for deep overtones. It's rated as playing in D but I can easily vary the key down to C and up to E. It has amazing volume for such a small instrument, but would need to mic it for gatherings and for outside use. The wood is smooth as silk, semigloss finish, smooth to the hand and lips, and sooo lightweight. It can also be easily muted by the hand for playing effects. This Didge is a perfect fit for handicapped or chair-bound individuals. If you've been wanting one but were hesitant about this one, I say, by all means, "Get it." You won't be sorry. I just love mine😀😀.

¡¡Que belleza de instrumento!! Estaba indeciso sobre si comprarlo o no por su tamaño, pero es absolutamente perfecto, el sonido es muy bueno y profundo, el mío esta en nota DO. Su apariencia y textura es muy agradable a la vista y al tacto, muy cómodo y portátil, me lo voy a llevar a todos lados...

Viel besser als erwartet

Habe mir im Vorfeld viele youtube Videos über diese und ähnliche Boxen angesehen und entsprechend nicht viel erwartet, vielmehr einen Kompromiß mit dünnem und hohen Ton. Umso größer die Überraschung, daß der Klang so viel besser ist als er in jenen Videos rüberkommt. Was für ein tiefer und resonanter Grundton. Transmissionslinie machts möglich. Und sehr leicht spielbar, mit optimalem Gegendruck. Dabei aber deutlich leiser als normale Didges. Was diese Box zur einzig praktikablen Möglichkeit macht, überhaupt Didgeridoo in einer hellhörigen Mietwohnung spielen zu können. Wenn man die Austrittsöffnung etwas zuhält, wird es nochmals leiser ohne daß die Spielbarkeit leidet. Meine Sorge gilt allerdings der Rißanfälligkeit, weil die Feuchtigkeit kaum entweichen kann. Vielleicht Silica Gel im Plastikbeutel oder mit Hartwachs o.ä. ausschwenken.
