Nyaku Yirdaki - My Didgeridoo, played by Larry Winiwini Posted by: ididjaustralia
Video duration: 46 seconds Global video hits: 1302 Larry Winiwini called this "nyaku yirdaki" - my didgeridoo. He made it himself and also kept it for recreational use for a period of time. It plays in the key of E flat fundamental, with an F overtone, and has that thunderous quality that Djalu suggests is characteristic of proper Galpu instruments. I love the deep sonorous voice of this instrument, simply irresistible!

Silver Bullet - used yirdaki played by Larry Winiwini Posted by: ididjaustralia
Video duration: 150 seconds Global video hits: 4944 This yirdaki is an old one that has been used by various Yolngu yirdaki players in Arnhem Land. Its entire length has been covered by silver duct tape, hence the nickname I have given it: Silver Bullet! The way Larry plays this yirdaki is astounding. Wonderful syncopation with simple but effective use of the half-beat. Related: didge, didgeridoo, didjeridu, djalu, football, galpu, gopu, gurruwiwi, larrtjannga, larry, winiwini, yidaki, yirdaki |
