This was David's commemorative didge for DidgeFest 2009. It has a perfect combo of slender bore and slow taper, and each of the three sections of this didge just melt together acoustically. Turns out that the sound column is very free to change length, and this didge can drop jaw really easily. For a beginning player it is amusing, with practice, it can drop jaw from the E drone to A and beyond. Listen to the sound clip, That's "Mary Had a A Little Lamb" with no practice.
With the first trumpet under the octave, the didge jumps from drone to either trumpet very easily, usable even for a novice. All sorts of techniques come very easily and the sound is rich, and complex. With 7.3 lbs of stiff Maple vibrating in front of you, it is truly a world class didgeridoo.

This was my first ever Hardanger, so I basically wanted a "Squier" version of a Hardanger: an entry level Hardanger to learn on that was new and solid but wouldn't break the bank. This has been pretty much perfect and just what I wanted.I love playing it.
Beautiful amazing instrument! Easy and fun to play! Highly recommended! Great customer service and fast shipping!!
Jackie arrived, nicely packed and in rapid order... much lighter than I expected, thank goodness as the instrument is attached to the player by their thumbs (and mine are kind of old).
I never thought that it would be so challenging for me to learn play ... so different from anything I've tried before... I can feel the neurons in my brain sparking and protesting. Actually, it feels good to build new pathways. The cat is none too pleased with my new endeavor. However, Jackie is a beautiful instrument, well made and of good quality. I'm sure, in time, we'll become the best of friends.
Thanks to all at Lark in the Morning for making my experience so pleasant and trouble free. <3
The external Twin Spot works great on my Irish Bouzouki. I've scotched taped the pickup heads and wires it in place for easy adjustment, and the pick up sensitivity is very good. I'm running it through my guitar DI box for increased sensitivity and tone control.
I think that every household should have a buffalo horn. We are now the proud owners of a fine horn which we obtained from Lark in the morning. It will be handy for calling in the children from play, and signaling to the neighbors across the river.
