Meinl Percussion Travel Didgeridoo Instrument - Compact Travel Didgerdioo - ca. 21,6 cm Height - C Tuning - Mahogany, Natural (DDG-BOX)

To be honest I was sceptical about it after having had an authentic wood didgeridoo for over 20yrs. I was wrong, it is a magic little box which is so easy to use and sounds great. It has good back pressure allowing for longer playing for beginners who have not learned the black art of circular breathing or balancing pressure to give an almost seamless play. It delivers great sound for such a small footprint and doesn’t carry the super loud drones my deep sounding original didgeridoo performs.

I bought a full size one for my son-I law which he loves and saw this little one for him too so he can take it hiking etc with him and just sit and play. He said the sound is amazing and great for practicing on too

This is a good piece of kit. Obviously, there will be a number of traditional didge players who will naturally scoff at the item, as it's not a 'real' didge, but the noise it creates is so remarkably similar, with depth and tone better than many of the cheaper didges and on a par with a lot of mid range instruments too. The size is unbelievable - whenever there's been an occasion to take a didge somewhere, it's always been more of an effort than it should be due to the size, but this is about as big as a hardback book. Nicely made, nice feeling, nice noise. Meinl really know how to make traditional things for a modern age!

Great compact didge to have by the side of your couch or in a suitcase.

Liked everything about it did not know how to get a, sound out of it but got it in 10 min I live in a bedsit which is small so this more portable one is ideal for storage glad I got this one got a good sound just as good as, a full size one

Good sound, easy And comfortable to play

Waste of money

Great if you're on a trip Really small a lot of fun but obviously not the same vibes as the full scale one as you'll feel less vibrations The volume as well is lower and that could be a good thing

¡¡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...

Tengo varios Didgeridoos y me compre este porque quería llevarlo en la bandolera o el coche y aprovechar algunos momentos muertos para ensayar. Después de ver varios videos decidí comprarlo. El envío perfecto y el instrumento parece de buena calidad. Hay que decir que me parece bastante más fácil de tocar que los convencionales, por lo que me parece recomendable para los que empiezan. El sonido es realmente bueno. Es igual que uno convencional excepto por el volumen y la profundidad. Pero me sorprendió muy gratamente que de algo tan pequeño pudiera salir un sonido así. En fin, es una compra recomendable.

I received this item and began carrying it in my suitcase approx. 6 weeks ago. I am a weekly business traveler and had been looking at a travel didj for a while. This was the best rated of the ones I looked at, so I figured, "why not?". The wood is smooth and uniform with no sharp edges or splinters. It feels to be rather solid and well made, and has held up well so far with 6 weeks of usage. Is it anywhere near as loud as a five foot long eucalyptus didgeridoo? Not even close, but that's one of the main characteristics I was looking for (aside from size). I know that I can sit in my hotel room every night and rock out on this thing and not have to worry about the people in adjoining rooms calling the front desk to complain about me. As far as negatives (to some, not me), higher pitched vocals seem to be out of the question, and it feels like it takes a lot more lung power to keep a strong rhythm going. As such, I don't know that I would recommend this to a beginner or to someone who is looking to really play. To me, this is a purpose built instrument and fits my needs perfectly: compact enough to easily fit in a carry-on (without having to sacrifice too much space), quiet enough to play in a hotel room and convenient enough that I have no excuse not to play every night. If you're in a similar situation, or if all you're looking for is something to circular breathe on to build/maintain lung capacity with, I highly recommend this product.

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.

Be prepared you may need a wax mouthpiece to get it to play better
