A length of bamboo cane, about 2″ in diameter and 5 to 6 feet long.
A piece of steel rebar or threaded rod, 3 feet long.
A small piece of bee’s wax.
Optional:
Propane torch
Fine sandpaper
Black shoe polish
I used a piece of Moso cane because it has a unique look with a base that flares out in diameter but any bamboo cane about 2 inches in diameter will do. I also blackened the bamboo which I will cover after the basic building instructions. Cut your cane to about 5 feet long. I have better luck with something about 6 inches shorter than that but start with 5′. You change the key of the didgeridoo by changing the length. I have no musical sense so I can’t tune mine, perhaps you can! When first obtaining the bamboo, cut just above a node on the smaller end where the mouthpiece will be. Then measure down toward the base and cut it to length at that end.
