Agave Didgeridoo by Geoff Frost
Agave Didgeridoo by Geoff Frost
SKU:DIG094
This is a monster in size and in sound. Big size, really big bell, really light and stiff agave. Taller than almost every basketball player, but weighs just over 4 pounds. It's a C note with a purpose. The didge sounds fine and clear when played softly, but the instant one blows up even medium, heads jerk for a half a block as the power just takes command. And it has great control, almost like it has a throttle, do whatever you want. It might be the fastest C note I have ever played.
The coloration of the Agave is unique, it has brown spots and striations, but light glints of red just show up in the right light. The burgundy Mahogany bell ring is a masterpiece in itself, and the grain arrangement in the 8 layer mouthpiece just asks you to stare at it for a while. Mint condition.
