Considering the Marrdapa background of the artist this instrument should be classified as an yidaki, but it’s sound and play characteristics are more like a mago… Such cross-over instruments you will find more often in his part of the region. So the first trumpet is not easy to hit. But if you want to refine your mago skills (and some Yolŋu styles) I can recommend this instrument!

A great instrument made by the yiḏaki player of the Wandawuy recordings within the Mulka Project! A real ‘bush’ yidaki. Wapurrpurr does not often make instruments for the trade, but is widely respected as yiḏaki player for his clan and community.
A great F. Rich in all frequencies with a easy toot.
There is a repair in the upper part of the instrument. But I’m convinced that if you start playing your instrument carefully that it is definitely going to hold.

Napurrawuy doesn’t make that many instruments. And when he worked thisone he only used a saw and a machete. Result: a rustic instrument without chiselling, straight from the bush. To top that of, the instrument is painted with traditional ochre’s. The painting depicts a Dhalwaŋu story about fresh water in the river mouth. The instrument plays subtle and requires precision. But once you have control over this instrument it can handle everything. Great sound and easy toot!

Paddy Fordham was an highly acclaimed Rembarrnga artist. You can find his paintings and sculptures in galleries and musea all over the world. Didgeridoos by this great man are extremely rare. The painting is in acrylics and the instrument is sealed on the outside with wood glue. It plays really sweet for an mago of this size. A nice, full bodied drone with clear horn note. To get an idea in what style this instrument is played traditionally you should check “Arnhemland Popular Classics”. A field recording from the 60’s with Paddy Fordham Wanyburrwanga on didgeridoo. This instrument is acquired in Alice Springs 2002.

Dhapa is not only one of the most cosistent yiḏaki crafters but he’s a real wood worker as well.
All of his yiḏaki are made with a lot of love for the shape of the tree and he spents hours in shaping it so that the walls are evenly thick.
Wich results in very stable and powerfull instruments.

Dhaḏalal
A special type of ritual yiḏaki for the Yirritja moiety. Nowadays it is a public instrument that has been brought out in the open at the Garma in 2004.
It’s use is to call for funeral ceremonie by blowing a series of long sustained trumpet notes.
A typical Dhaḏalal also has string with kangaroobones attached. But Balku Wunuŋumurra made this specific instrument without. According to him it is still a Dhaḏalal yiḏaki though. He just decided to leave out the very powerfull and sacred parts…
The lorrikeet feathers however underline the sacredness of this yiḏaki.
It is very rare that an instrument like this is avaible on the commercial market.
Not an instrument to use on a rockstage but more for a private collector that appreciates cultural authenticity.
It plays like a typical yiḏaki. High backpressure. Overall good but a bit course accoustics and an easy to hit trumpet note!

Duwarrwarr is a famous senior artist from the Rirratjingu clan. She was born c- 1946 as a daughter of well-known clan leader Mawalan Marika and sister to Wandjuk, Bayŋul and Banduk Marika.

There are only 2 yiḏaki that I know of that are painted with this Yiki design.
The design, in natural ochres, depicts the Macasan knifes.

A nice and raw sounding yiḏaki by yiḏaki master and gurru Djalu Gurruwiwi.
It has bright acoustics wich allow you to really focus on your articulation. It is very fast like you would expect from a F# instrument. The dup is half a note under the fundamental wich, in combination with the perfectly crafeted mouthpiece, allows you tho fire one after the other!
This instrument has had some use in ceremony.

A specific type of yiḏaki that is called djamatjama. 400 km down south it is known as Ḻampiḻpiḻ. An istrument used by the Nunggubuyu people from Numbulwar.
It play’s in the key of G# and needs quite some energy by the player. But when you produce this power it will be rewarding. The sound is so big that the microphone on my phone could not really handle the presure. A big sound, but with good balance a which is rare for such a high key.
Yiḏaki stands for a diverse group of instruments that are used throughout the Miwatj region in Arnhemland.

Instruments of this age, quality and provenance are really hard to get.
It is fast and responsive and plays like a dream. This is a true yidaki! The one that is clearly preferred by Yolŋu.
In my opinion it is not suitable for gigging. Since it was used in circumsicion and funeral ceremonies. But if you want to study the Yolŋu style of playing, then this is the stick!

Now this is a great stick! Powerfull and resonant. It requires a bit of a push, so it is not for the lazy player. This is a stick for the tradhead that likes to play that ‘hard tongue style’. Perfect in its frequencies and great backpressure. It has evenly made thin walls and a very comfortable mouthpiece.
Marikuku made this instrument and took it to a funeral at Ganggan, a very remote community where alot of Yolŋu artists reside, where it had some use.

A well used instrument from the Dhalinybuy community. Completly covered in duct-tape. A practice that is used by Yolŋu to repair cracks and make sure that the instrument always plays when it is needed. This is what a genuine yiḏaki looks like.
The mouthpiece is a bit sharp but that actually helps with making a good seal when you push this yiḏaki to it’s limits. I have noticed that a lot of people that want to play trad. style from North-East Arnhemland look for instruments that are really easy to play. Therefor I carry a lot of instruments in my shop that suit both contemporary aswell as traditional players. But some yiḏaki require a bit of push, study and practice to get to the full potential of that particular instrument.
So this is one of those instruments that will help you to get to the real trad. flavour!

The shape is a bit funcky but the mouthpiece is very comfortable.
If you have your dubs up to par, you will find that on this yiḏaki, they will blend in very nice with the drone.

This is a yiḏaki for the real trad. head.
It has that nice dry and gritty Arnhemland sound.
A nice balance between drone and first trumpet.
Incase you would like to play contemporary didgeridoo music on this instrument, you will need to work a bit harder and push it just a bit more.
If you decide to purchase this instrument I will throw in a free copy of Jeremy Cloake’s tuition CD
Balanda yiḏaki Dhukarr so you can learn to master this instrument to it’s full potentional.

Barayuwa has been working for the Yirrkala art centre for quite some years and he devoloped a very fine hand. The last few years he had some major exhibitions with his paitings.
He does not make yiḏaki very often and this particular example would be a good instrument for those who collect Yolngu art.

This yiḏaki is a good example of his outstanding work!
Rich in overtones, a very strong and powerfull sound. Great backpresurre and a perfect interfall between drone and dup!
It’s a beast that was favorite to Buku Larrŋgay staff member, Djuwakan #2 Marika who was reluctant to let it go.
