Really easy to play, controllably bendable notes, trumpet tones that pop up by themselves. Very comfortable mouthpiece. There is something to be said for shorter sticks with lower internal air volumes, when they are balanced, they are easy to play well even for beginners.

A shorter stick and 5.6 lbs of solid oak for easy travel and durability. Not suggesting that you play baseball with it, but you could. Steven left most of the basic bark on the lower quarter of the didge, which really looks great and accepted the finish in a durable fashion.

So a fast didge with clear vocals, first trumpet right on the octave, very crisp tonguing techniques, what's not to love?
