I’ll be the first to admit that I know absolutely nothing about didgeridoos, and that I would never have thought that I would mention them here, on my Bassic Sax<\/strong> Blog<\/em>. However, that was before I happened across David Blonski’s video of The Python saxophone-shaped didgeridoo. Blonski handcrafted this instrument, and it is the result of years of work.<\/p>\n

The Python is crafted out of Douglas fir. The one pictured above is pitched in the key of C\u2014although according to Blonski, C through low G pitched instruments are available.<\/p>\n

On Blonski’s website<\/a>, The Python is described like this:<\/p>\n

This Python is a saxophone shaped compact didge with concert quality sound characteristics in the key of C. It is made of Douglas Fir by David Blonski who has 20 years of experience in making didgeridoos. The folded compact design makes this a great travel didge without sacrificing the sound you would associate with a full sized didge. In fact this is a full size didge with a 78 inch bore length that is folded over so that the instruments actual length is only 34 inches. This didge features an oval, waxless mouthpiece and a 6 inch bell. The tone is full and rich with excellent back pressure, great phrase articualtion and vocal response. Trumpet tones are D, A, D, F#.<\/p>\n

I give this didge an A+ rating. View the video demo below.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
