It shows a wide variety of ceramic instruments. I'm curious to know if anyone has any experience with any of them. The site is http://www.ninestones.com/begallery.html |

I visited again last night and looked at the rest of the instruments. They are all very cool. The didgibodhran (combination didgeridoo and bodhran) has an interesting sound. I recently bought a didgeridoo at the local hardware store for $3.49 (5 feet of 1.25 inch ABS pipe). If I ever learn circular breathing I may look for something more professional. |

I assume circular breathing is continual. I knew a sax player that played a five minute note at a party. It drove everyone crazy with excitment. I guess you'd have to do circular breathing to play such a huge instrument and get an uninterrupted sound. Margarita |

I also have a ceramic ocarina, which is sort of chirpy, but fun and easy to play. My only reservation about both of these instruments is they are very fragile: one drop or squash, and you have shards. V |
