Slide Didgeridoos

What is a slide didgeridoo?

A slide didgeridoo is made from two tubes, one sliding inside the other. Pull the bell section out and the instrument gets longer and the drone drops lower. Push it in and the key rises. One slide didge covers a range of keys that would otherwise take several fixed didgeridoos.

Why play one?

  • Play along in any key: match the drone to a song, a band or a backing track instead of hunting for the right didge.
  • Travel light: collapsed, a slide didge is much shorter than a full length didgeridoo.
  • Learn how length changes sound: hear how back pressure, toots and overtones shift as you slide.
