Alder Slingshot Didgeridoo by Chad Butler

"Y" shaped didgeridoo, 2 mouthpieces

One glance is enough to understand the term "slingshot" but more definition comes to that word once you play it. The Y shape gives a few options, capping and uncapping the other branch slowly or quickly while playing, and playing with 2 people at once. Yep, 2 mouthpieces, 2 people. Special in a big way.

Easy to play with a complex sound. Each branch is different, one in Eb and the other in D. Both branches give the same overtone series. It has a distinct ring tone in F# from one branch and G from the other. It has very clear vocals, and the second branch is almost like an extra speaker.

The Alder wood has pleasing brown striations on the tan / gold wood, and one big knot so you can see who's boss. This didge looks like Gandolph should be holding it. Only played a few times, this didge has no scratches, nicks, dents, etc, near mint condition.
