A superb yidaki made by Watjuku Gurruwiwi. This is
an 'old school' instrument in a low key with a natural, easy
to hit horn note. Outstanding acoustics - wonderful punchiness
and warmth, excellent depth and balance, smooth playing characteristics...
Fine craftsmanship with a beautiful natural termite-eaten
bore, nice flared mouthpiece, smooth finish...
Decorated entirely in ochres. Extremely fine brush work.

Nice C#! Pretty good back pressure for an instrument with
such a low key. Acoustic response is pretty good too. There
is a bit of depth to this instrument, which is uncommon in
low-keyed yidaki. A collector's piece.

A huge bell, an overtone like a foghorn, and an excellent
fast percussive response! Watjuku's work is beyond comparison
for artistic beauty, sculptural form and musical quality.
A collector's piece.
