Question Mark Yucca Didgeridoo

Maker Unknown.  Low Note Didgeridoo.

There can be no doubt why this one is called the "Question Mark". It is a real live low note at Ab, The rumble kind of reminds you of starting up an old Buick. And it takes some finesse to drive this thing. The bore is skinny enough that the first two trumpets are so easy. It is fun just to play them like they were drone tones on a high note didge. Yet that same bore is big enough to have a lot of low note power.

It is painted black, but it really should have a more circus like paint job, since it is shaped like something that came from Dr Seuss's garden. It might seem kind of long, but remember that it would be a whole lot longer if it were straight. That's just what it takes to reach way down to Ab. I think the curve somehow makes it easier to control, and that bell is always going to be behind you. It has a couple of light scratches on the bell. Sorry, it came like that.

Maker unknown.
