🔥This video contains tips to improve your toot 🔥 Link in the first comment. The "D minor" is an exceptional didgeridoo, with its toots precisely tuned to the minor scale of D across its first six resonances. This unique tuning allows for the creation of melancholic melodies while preserving a warm, rounded sound. Koji Matsumoto showcases his first attempt at playing this instrument with a brief improvisation.

I have two "D minor" available. Let me know if you are interested https://youtu.be/AFv9lyysUkw

On July 5th, I will proudly perform at TEDxBellano. As many of you know, TEDx events are renowned worldwide for their impact and inspiration. Here’s a short demo of my sounds and a glimpse of the magnificent venue for the event!

KickStarter Didgeridoo - The extended review by Matteo Morbidelli, Italy www.kickstarter-didgeridoo.com

The Opinion of a Proficient Student
I own several didgeridoos, some of which I tried to create myself in the past, and others that I purchased here and there. I already knew how to make them sound fairly well, but the turning point was buying a KickStarter in E created by Andrea.

This instrument immediately made me understand where and what I was doing wrong with the other instruments, what the differences in sound pressure were with the much lower-pitched instruments I owned, and where I needed to focus in my practice to “fine-tune” my technique. Let’s say that the Kickstarter helped me significantly in understanding how a good instrument should sound, and as a result, I always use it for practice and as a “reference didj” when something doesn’t work well with other instruments, helping me overcome my limits.

The frustration and feeling of not being able to play certain things vanished with the Kickstarter; if you can’t play something with the Kickstarter, keep practicing because the problem lies with you and not the instrument, at least for the things I intend to learn at the moment. It’s a beautiful instrument to look at, very comfortable and satisfying to play, with good output volume, and it’s indeed an excellent instrument/friend to progress in practice, also very useful alongside more “difficult” instruments with different construction specifications.

Also noteworthy is Andrea’s friendliness and professionalism in providing all the useful clarifications about the instrument and the purchase, which definitely adds value to the handcrafted instrument, carefully designed, and already precious in itself. A purchase that I definitely recommend.

🇮🇹 ITALIAN: VICEVERSA: "PER RICORDARE CHE CI SONO SEMPRE NUOVI MODI DI PERCEPIRE E AFFRONTARE LA VITA"

La Percezione, e come essa possa modificare le nostre scelte e la nostra vita, era il fulcro dell'evento.

Ho esplorato la percezione sonora umana e il suo profondo impatto sulla musica. Spunti concisi ma stimolanti, pensati per ispirare l'ascoltatore ad esplorare il mondo del suono da diverse prospettive. Per il musicista, l'appassionato ascoltatore o l'ingegnere, spero troverete qui idee intriganti per approfondire la vostra comprensione e apprezzamento dell'acustica.

Tra gli strumenti presentati: didgeridoo, scacciapensieri, flauto armonico e canto armonico.

Ringrazio ancora una volta TEDxBellano per l'impegno straordinario nella realizzazione di un evento splendido, coinvolgente e arricchente sotto moltissimi punti di vista, in una location strepitosa.

Un caloroso ringraziamento a Shata Diallo per la sua presentazione: una voce eloquente che ha introdotto i temi con grazia e profondità, arricchendo l'esperienza dell'evento, già speaker della precedente edizione.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH: VICEVERSA: "TO REMIND THAT THERE ARE ALWAYS NEW WAYS TO PERCEIVE AND APPROACH LIFE"

Perception, and how it can alter our choices and lives, was the core of the event.

I explored human auditory perception and its profound impact on music. Concise yet stimulating insights were designed to inspire the listener to explore the world of sound from different perspectives. Whether you are a musician, a passionate listener, or an engineer, I hope you will find intriguing ideas here to deepen your understanding and appreciation of acoustics.

Among the instruments presented: didgeridoo, Jew's harp, harmonic flute, and harmonic singing.

I would like to thank TEDxBellano once again for their extraordinary effort in creating a splendid, engaging, and enriching event from many perspectives, in a stunning location.

A warm thank you to Shata Diallo for her presentation: an eloquent voice that introduced the themes with grace and depth, enriching the event experience, and a speaker from the previous edition.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH BELOW

🇮🇹 ITALIAN: Mesi fa avevo pubblicato l'audio di 25 didgeridoo senza video, chiedendo al pubblico di indovinare il materiale solo attraverso il suono.
Purtroppo hanno risposto solo una quindicina di persone...
Forse 25 strumenti erano troppi da ascoltare tutti insieme?
O era più complicato del previsto riconoscere il materiale dal solo suono?
Fare analisi statistiche con numeri così piccoli non ha molto senso. Però, se vi va, solo per voi stessi, provate a chiudere gli occhi, immaginare lo strumento e capire se la vostra immaginazione viene confermata dall'ascolto.
Buon ascolto a tutti!
🇬🇧 ENGLISH
A few months ago, I published the audio of 25 didgeridoos without any videos, asking the public to guess the material just by listening to the sound. Unfortunately, only about fifteen people responded... Maybe some of you participated and would like to see the results.
Was 25 instruments too many to listen to all at once? Or was it more complicated than expected to recognize the material from the sound alone?
Doing statistical analysis with such small numbers doesn't make much sense. However, if you feel like it, just for yourselves, try closing your eyes, imagining the instrument, and see if your imagination is confirmed by the sound.
Enjoy listening, everyone! 🎶

*ENGLISH BELOW:*
*ITALIANO:* Dovremmo aver ormai compreso che il materiale influisce sul suono in modo impercettibile al microfono. Non sei ancora convinto?
Qui trovi il mio libro "La Progettazione del Didgeridoo", 186 pagine: https://www.didgeridoo.it/prodotto/progettazione-del-didgeridoo-libro/
Ma cosa cambia se cambiamo la forma? In questo video vi mostro con esattezza la forma interna di tre strumenti. Potrete ascoltare il suono di ognuno e farvi un'idea: https://youtu.be/VPHBNdmEEWM
Si tratta di tre prototipi realizzati per un importante cliente statunitense, tre forme di partenza da cui sceglierne una soltanto, affinarla nell'intonazione e nelle caratteristiche acustiche.
Avrei potuto variare maggiormente la forma e il timbro, ma le richieste del progetto iniziale dovevano prevedere sempre un suono chiaro e pulito per poter suonare in una band. Perciò, la campana è sempre limitata a 7 cm.
Opinioni? impressioni? riuscite a percepire differenze? di quale entità?

*ENGLISH:* We should have understood by now that the material influences the sound in a way that is imperceptible to the microphone. Aren't you convinced yet?
Here you can find my book "The Design of the Didgeridoo", 186 pages: https://www.didgeridoo.it/prodotto/progettazione-del-didgeridoo-libro/
But what changes if we change the shape? In this video I show you exactly the internal shape of three instruments. You will be able to listen to the sound of each one and get an idea: https://youtu.be/VPHBNdmEEWM
These are three prototypes made for an important American client, three starting shapes from which to choose only one, refine it in intonation and acoustic characteristics.
I could have varied the shape and timbre more, but the requirements of the initial project had to always provide a clear and clean sound to be able to play in a band. Therefore, the bell is always limited to 7 cm.
Opinions? impressions? can you perceive differences? of what magnitude?

🇮🇹 ITALIANO SOTTO:

🇬🇧 ENGLISH: THE DIDGERIDOO CLUB
The Monthly WEBINAR for Didgeridoo Player

Over the past few months, I’ve gathered numerous pieces of feedback that reflect a common desire: to grow musically, to connect with other enthusiasts, to discover new sounds, and to overcome the challenge of feeling alone or distant from other players.
I understand how frustrating it can be to feel isolated, without stimulation or new ideas. This situation can even pull you away from the instrument, leaving a path unfinished that has only just begun to bear fruit. However, passion needs constant nurturing, and nothing out there can offer you a true opportunity for growth and belonging to a community with which to share this journey.

That’s why I’m happy to introduce a new initiative designed to meet this need:
An exclusive webinar
THE “DIDGERIDOO CIRCLE”
Every first Monday of the month from 9:00 PM to 10:00 / 10:15 PM (CET)

It’s a chance to:

* Learn new didgeridoo techniques
* Discover the latest news in the world of didgeridoo
* Engage with other enthusiasts and players

Feel part of a group where you can grow and share your journey
The session will be structured as a 45-minute lecture with the opportunity to interact and ask questions. The last 15 to 30 minutes will be dedicated to questions beyond the main topic and for choosing the next month’s lesson theme.

Participants will have exclusive access to the recorded lessons. I encourage you to attend live, but if you miss a session, don’t worry!

Each session costs €25, but there are:

* An annual subscription option
* An offer for mailing list subscribers (write me privately to be added)
* A special offer for my students, attendees of the Didgeridoo Retreat, and anyone who has purchased an instrument in 2024.
If that’s you and you haven’t received communication about it, let me know

"The DIDGERIDOO CLUB"
The Monthly Webinar for English speakers.

Additionally, we’ll be selecting interesting topics each time, and the best content will be transcribed into articles or compiled into periodic books I’m working on.
Not only will you get something useful for yourself, but you’ll also be part of a unique initiative.

Don’t miss this opportunity to take a step forward in your musical journey and become part of something greater.

As always, to avoid any unnecessary expenses, the satisfaction guarantee applies. If after attending the first session you’re not satisfied for any reason, you’ll receive a full 100% refund.
If you'd like to share your feedback with me, I’d be happy to hear it to help improve future sessions.

🇮🇹 ITALIAN: In questi mesi, ho raccolto numerosi feedback che esprimono un desiderio comune: crescere musicalmente, trovare altri appassionati, scoprire nuove sonorità, ma anche affrontare la sfida di sentirsi soli o distanti dagli altri suonatori.
Capisco quanto possa essere frustrante rimanere isolati, senza stimoli o nuove idee. Questo rischio potrebbe persino allontanarti dallo strumento, lasciando incompiuto un percorso che ha appena iniziato a dare frutti. La passione, però, ha bisogno di essere costantemente alimentata, e non c’è niente di simile là fuori che possa offrirti una vera opportunità di crescita e di appartenenza a una comunità con cui condividere questo cammino.
È per questo che sono entusiasta di presentarti una nuova iniziativa pensata proprio per rispondere a questa esigenza:
un webinar esclusivo
IL “CIRCOLO DEL DIDGERIDOO”
ogni primo lunedì del mese dalle ore 21 alle 22: / 22:15
Un’occasione per:
• Imparare nuove tecniche di didgeridoo
• Scoprire le ultime novità sul mondo del didgeridoo
• Confrontarti con altri appassionati e suonatori
• Sentirti parte di un gruppo con cui crescere e condividere il tuo percorso
L’incontro sarà svolto come lezione frontale di 45 minuti circa, con la possibilità comunque di interagire e porre domande. Gli ultimi 15 /30 minuti saranno usati per domande anche al di fuori dal tema e per scegliere il tema di lezione per il mese successivo.
Gli iscritti avranno la possibilità di accedere in modo esclusivo alle lezioni registrate. Io ci tengo che siate presenti, ma se doveste saltare una lezione, non dovrete preoccuparvi!

Il costo di ogni incontro è di 20€ ma sono previsti:
- un abbonamento annuale
- una riduzioni per gli iscritti alla mailinglist (scrivetemi in privato per essere inseriti)
- una grossa riduzione per i miei allievi, i partecipanti del Ritiro di Didgeridoo e per chi ha acquistato uno strumento nel 2024.
Se lo foste e non aveste ricevuto comunicazioni, fatemelo sapere

In più, di volta in volta sceglieremo temi interessanti, e i migliori contenuti verranno trascritti per articoli o raccolti in libri periodici a cui sto lavorando.
Non solo avrai qualcosa di utile per te, ma sarai protagonista di una realtà unica.
Non perdere questa occasione per fare un passo avanti nel tuo percorso musicale e sentirti parte di qualcosa di più grande.
Come sempre, per evitarvi il rischio di spese inutili, vale la garanzia soddisfatti o rimborsati.
Se dopo il primo incontro in cui si è partecipato, non foste soddisfatti, per qualsiasi ragione, verrete rimborsati al 100%.
Se avrete piacere condividere con me il motivo, ne sarò felice, al fine di migliorare gli incontri.

https://youtu.be/_LR1jvUprnU

Yesterday marked the first session of the "Didgeridoo Club" in Italian! We already have 13 subscribers and 6 more who opted to receive the recorded lessons only.

If you’re someone who spends hours searching for scraps of information in online groups, imagine how much you could grow with a solid 14 hours of guided lessons —one hour per month—filled with valuable insights!

This experience will take you from feeling isolated in your journey to sharing a rich exchange with fellow enthusiasts. Each lesson is presented with the utmost clarity and expertise by myself, Andrea Ferroni. With over 22 years of experience, I bring to the table 9 albums, the instructional book The Didgeridoo Discovery, the didgeridoo-building guide Didgeridoo Sound Design , numerous appearances at didgeridoo festivals across Europe, as well as TV invitations and TEDx talks, all thanks to my clarity and depth on the subject.

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re hesitant because you’re unsure of what to expect, or if past lessons have left you disappointed, don’t worry.

Sign up with confidence.
If you’re not fully satisfied after the first lesson, I’ll gladly refund your payment . If you’re not entirely satisfied but would still like to continue, just write to me and share your thoughts—I value your feedback.

I’ll focus on topics that I believe will truly help you:

- Grow your skills quickly
- Understand why many didgeridoo players struggle to excel or fully enjoy their music
- Make your practice sessions more enjoyable
- Discover new artists
- Uncover the strengths and weaknesses of your didgeridoo to make the most of its unique sound … and so much more.

And remember, if you sign up right now, you’ll get two additional sessions for free!

You have until next Sunday to secure access to the first lesson. If you have any questions, hesitations, and subscription, feel free to send me a private message or leave a comment below.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
