Didgeridoo
"For You have exalted my horn like that of a wild OX; fine oils have been poured upon me" Psalm 92:10
Wild eh?
So i walked into Mr. Principals office this morning for and interview at an Oakville private school, and i walked right into one of these MASSIVE honkers he has Pounded up on his wall.... uhhh OK!!!... like Sir, what exactly is this hard blow hole tube??? and please tell me you do not play this for the kids discipline hour....
It was pretty funny... I guess you maybe had to be there with me. Lets just say it was a great way to start off an interview to be a kids lunch supervisor at a private school.....
I found out it was an australian digeridoo. ok and i can not say this word with out smirking.
Uh so like What exactly ARE they?
"The didgerido is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago, likely far prior and is still in widespread usage today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as an aerophone. The instrument is traditionally made from Eucalyptus trees which have had their interiors hollowed out by termites or died of other causes.
A modern didgeridoo is usually cylindrical or conical, and can measure anywhere from 1 to 3 m (3 to 10 ft) long
( Check the size of this puppys mouth piece! )
Generally, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch or key of the instrument.
Rad... sorry just a tid bit of what really made me laugh today.
"For you are my glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt my horn" psalm 89:17
