The sound is perfect with a smooth trumpet sound. You have absolutly had a good instinct what is right for me. It's how you have said a Yidaki with orce and power. Now i understand that it was hard for you to seperate from this musical instrument. But don't worry. It's in good hands. I will care for it with all it deserves. Thank you again for your efforts that i got a perfect Yidaki. You have exceeded it several times." Alex, Germany.

"After having cautiously played just a bit I can fully understand that you will miss it, one of your favourite yidaki. Yes, it`s very easy to play, the backpressure is excellent, it is very resonant and sooo clear in sound, the transition to the horntones are easy to blow. The acoustics are dark, earthy and very balanced, tongue accents respond with soft-edged wielding THUDS! Great! Additionally, the artwork is really lovely, even beautiful. So thank you again, Jeremy, this yidaki I will keep in respect of the Yolngu culture." Carl, Germany.

 

"It's AWESOME!!!! A wonderful and magic yidaki. After playing it for a few minutes, my mind felt calm and peaceful...

This yidaki is a real present! If earth could speak-this yidaki would be able to talk about it!" Carl, Germany.

 

"The Yidaki is delivered in excellent condition and it sounds really great :) It has the 'special' sound what I´m looking for, but I have to train to generate it. I`m surprised of the power and the resonance of this 'small' stick :)" Andreas Faatz, Germany.

 

"I really, really enjoy playing the F yidaki, is quite easy to play, and has a wonderful warm sound, quite amazing, so little wood, and so much character, also the toot on this one is absolutely marvelous, I can really get the long soft changing toots happening on this one ... a real pleasure to play, and I can play it indoors better, cause it is not as loud..." Ray, Austria.

 

"Very nice indeed, my brother! The Yali Mununggurr you sent me is a dream. Playing him more and more it become better and better and always with some surprises. Thanks for that." Bruno, Italy.

"The bag is astonishingly beautiful. A piece of art, of outstanding beauty and quality. Craftmanship of a very high standard, not to be found anymore in Europe I'm afraid. It breaths the bondage between the sewers and their material. Their deep connection with the leather. It is soft to feel, creative, it smells wonderful. It is a symbol of the harmony and inter-dependence, relatedness of all human beings and nature." Hilde, Belgium.

 

"May I thank u very, very much, for choosing a wonderful bag, really, really nice. Martina is happy, we got it today! I am not a bag man, but this piece is quite special, great." Ray, Austria.

"Hi there again! Well just read the full story of Pepe. And I have to say thank you, the story really touches my heart. I can sense a deep relation with my own feelings and the way I life - the message from this Nguru serves as a reminder to give life to our loves and passions by expressing them outwardly with truth, respect and integrity - this is exactly were I stand for and what my message is to the people I teach. So it is no coincidence that this Nguru & I meet. Thanks bro, and talk to you soon." Bastiaan Baaij, The Netherlands.

 

"Dear J the Yidaki arrived yesterday in perfect condition. I put a bit of wax and I just tried to play it for a minute. It's, as you told me, a warm and rich sound and he is holding the high pressure. Very nice to play and to be in contact with. Thanks for that." Bruno, Italy

 

"I have to say that I plaied a few again and I like your Yidaki more and more. This one is a dream, sweet and also likes the power. Love." Bruno, Italy.

"Just a quick word to say hi and mostly thanks!! I bought balanda yidaki dhukarr off Greg of didj passion at the airvault festival. It was exactly what i was looking for when i asked you for advice for evolving. Its been a bit more than a week I bought the yidaki and the cd and i'm burstin'off new rhythms with more control, precision and power ever! The cd was exactly what i needed in straightening out what i had learned on my own, knowing and putting a name on the different sounds and the different distinctions in articulation. Being an african drum player aswell i know how much it is important to be able to sing the rhythm and the cd gave me tools to sing what i do on the yidaki. being able to sing has really evolved my playing i can really burst off the different beats i feel as i've said with precision and power!! So many thanks to you Jeremy for your advice and for showing me the way!" Ben, France.

I have been listening to it and practicing along with it every day. I am hoping my technique will refine as good as what I am aiming for. The quality of the sound of the CD and the explanation of the booklet are at very high standard. I am sure people who have been practicing Yolngu style will love it as you have approched into the every little phrase in it. I will keep practicing until I start my recording again!"
