Maker: Djalu Gurruwiwi djalu portrait Comments:

A large powerful yidaki made by Djalu. Despite the physical size of this beast, this instrument is easy to play due to the high back pressure and good resonance... the slightest breath will cause the roof to shake. Vocals are good and clear. Back pressure is high. Easy to hit horn note. Comfortable size natural wooden mouthpiece.

In terms of craftsmanship, this is as good as Djalu has ever made. Nice conical shape, smooth finish, and sealed on the outside with wood glue.

A good fast playing yidaki with excellent punchiness and nice traditional acoustics. Good depth and balance, easy overtone note, natural wooden mouthpiece...

Gapu (water) painted designs in the mid-section of the instrument.

A very good value yidaki of a high standard... this sort of instrument is getting more difficult to obtain.

A highly responsive instrument, entirely natural termite-eaten bore, fast action, wonderful back pressure. Comfortable size natural wooden mouthpiece.

Listen to Yomunu demonstrate on this yidaki in the MP3 clip! Take note of the first song and the tongued-doublet accents - a very difficult rhythm worth learning.

Wow! This Djalu yidaki has it all - deep rumbling bass notes, excellent backpressure, highly responsive action, and an overtone note like a fog-horn! A fantastic player with both fundamental and overtone key in E flat. Quite light considering the size of this monster!

djalu yidaki dja010430
Maker: Djalu Gurruwiwi djalu yidaki locality map, NT Comments:

A highly collectible piece due to the natural humps in the body of the yidaki - these are gundirr or termite mounds. According to Yolngu, Wititj the Olive Python enters gundirr to shed its old skin and emerges fresh and new. For the Galpu, this symbolism is used in ritual cleansing.
