Walnut Didgeridoo by Jeff Lohr

Playing this masterpiece is like walking into a welcome dream. Very easy to play, can go fast, can get loud. It can kitten purr or get jazz trumpet snazzy. The volume and the overblow quality exceed ones expectations, given the relatively smaller bell. Definitely a pro level didge, and yet perfect for travel at just under 5 feet long and only four pounds of heft.

Like most didges with the first overtone on the octave, it is super controllable and can grab the overtone trumpets with ease. Three useable trumpets can be powered up at any moment in any order. Now that is a perfect bore, and that is normal Jeff Lohr stuff.

This is a 10 out of 10 didge, without any doubt. Jeff is a master wood worker with a knack for nailing every sound column. He always has a solid plan when he hollows out a stick. 

As I mentioned in the didge lecture, a bell that is non-circular has an advantage. The wider part amplifies more bass, and the slender part amplifies more treble. How 'bout a perfect oval? And I mean perfect. So perfect it is like it grew on there. And of course it matches the mouthpiece perfectly. Both the bell ring and the mouthpiece have an inner ring set of: Birch - skinny Ebony - Birch, then a thick steak juicy outer ring of Rosewood. I believe the blonde wood is birch, but it could be cypress.
