Hicks Sticks, Aspen and Hardwood Didgeridoos for sale.

Rev it up!!! Compared to cars, this one is like a 1970's muscle car with a huge engine under the hood, throaty powerful character that runs from a purr to a roar, and a lot of punch when you step on the gas... heavy thumping power, and warm deep dark growly sound. Solid backpressure, very easy to play, very easy toot, and responds to pressured accents with a rough deep thump. Musical octave toot fits any Key of E musical setting. Gloss finish, Paua shell inlay, and a gorgeous piece of wood!

Reallly well balanced deep sounding didge with power, finesse, and rhythmic accuracy. Even frequency response, throaty clear sound character that roughens to a growl with pressure and subtle/passive vocalization, good harmonic response, very easy toot, unrestricted vocal response with loud barks and shrieks. An easy playing didge suitable for beginner through advanced players. Slighly fatter warmer sound than H090901 above. Simple elegant paua shell inlays and satin finish on a very beautiful piece of wood.

Overall an uplifting sounding instrument with a bit of sharp edged character. The slender, moderate taper creates a bright, midrangy tonality with moderate but full sounding bass. This one's key attributes are about subtle harmonic, rhythmic and vocal manipulation, with natural restless rhythmic character. Easy playing medium backpressure suitable for beginner through advanced. Very musical tuned toot intervals of third and octave result in natural harmonics that contribute its uplifting vibe. Art motif represents planting a seed, growing things and associated metaphors. Paua shell inlay and satin finish.

HOLY COW!! The base of this one is 18 inches across! I was lucky enough to find this wild piece with some of the root mass still attached which created this wild forked bell. Though I generally eschew voluminous bells myself, this one does not create undue boom or honk that annhiliates the other sound complexities. I believe this is because of the fork, as it is not an enclosed bell shape. It is a fantastic powerful punchy player with solid backpressure, good sensitivity and room to move when pushed. Great tonal balance with strong bass, lots of power, growl and great projection. Black Sun/Star motif, paua shell inlay and high gloss finish.

An ego boosting power stick with excellent solid backpressure, and excellent rhythmic definition. Effortless to play with both subtlety and power and a super easy octave toot. Very sensitive, and can be played sweetly, but also is easily pushed taking very little pressure to create big bumping accents. To me this is the epitome of a balanced rhythmic power instrument with accurate fast response. Paua shell inlays and high gloss finish.

Ripper instrument for intermediate to advanced player. Very trad-ish tonality and response. Sound character is full yet also bright and edgy, turning rough when pushed with a bit of pressure, and especially when coupled with a bit of underlying vocalization. Medium solid backpressure with room to push it allows for rough pops and accents in varying degrees from tongue and throat movements coupled with varying playing pressure. Very cool piece of wood with semi open/forked bell. Satin finish
