YES!

Thanks Alice.

It would be interesting to study the spread of the "didge technique" of playing hollophones (is that what they are?) around the planet. . .looking for the following:

1)Age of instruments, age of musical tradition/ethos? 2)Links between traditions? 3)Construction methods and links? 4)Application in present day?

It is interesting to note that the "didge blown" technique is not used in modern orchestras. Which is a big pity.

I have experiences some anti-didge technique in orhcestras and concert bands.

I once offered to play didge (instead of my usual job as kit drummer) in the Australian National Anthem at my university's graduation ceremony.

I was told that "didgeridoo is not an instrument". And as for repertoire?

Didge/horn players unite!!!

Any bronze age horn playing mudcatters?
