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 yiḏaki for those who love slow, deep and powerful instruments!
Not the fastest yiḏaki but one that is more suitable for ‘old school’ style.
A nice and thundering sound with a good growl to it!
Rich in overtones and, of course an easy and round toot.
And on top of that a very sweet painting.
Little black beeswax repair.
You should come over and try this one!

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.

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!

This yiḏaki responds very well to the slightes tongue action wich, in my opinion, will teach you to articulate very pressisely.
The overall acoustics are very well defined. It has a top score on the balance between Bass, mids and high.
The backpresurre is just perfect and the nice and round toot just shoots like popcorn.

This is what happens when to major artists work together!
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.
She had numerous exebitions and her work is held in some major art collections.
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.
Dhapa needs no further introduction in the international yiḏaki scene. His work is of a constant quality. This particular yiḏaki is no exception. Clear acoustics, a nice and round dup and a very fine and even finnish.
With this yiḏaki you don’t only buy a topnotch musical instrument but also a great art piece by one of the most important Yolŋu artists of this time!

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!

A rather modest sounding instrument by Didiwarr and his mother Djul’djul’ Gurruwiwi.
Because of the backpressure being medium, this yiḏaki enables you to really ‘push and pull’.
The toot is a bit higher than the fundamental but this is normal for alot of traditional instruments, where the horn note is used for signalling.
The painting, by Djul’djul’ Gurruwiwi, depicts Wititj the ancesteral Rainbow Serpent.
A great stick for those who like that typical Arnhemland sound.
I remember Didiwarr when he walked in, at community based art centre Buku Larrŋgay Mulka, with his first commercially made instrument together with his father, the late B*rrŋ*p*rrŋ* Wunuŋmurra.
I bought it straight away.
It is good to see Didiwarr stepped up and continues making instruments of the highest cultural integrity, like his famous father.

A great F – F by legendary yiḏaki expert Djalu Gurruwiwi.
A bit dirty and mysterious in sound.
But it plays like a dream!
Nice balance in acoustics. Easy toot. And a good speed to it.
The finnish of this yiḏaki is a bit rough. It looks like it was made only with a machette.
Also the painting, in ochers, is rough. But, for me, it has a nice and authentic feel to it.
There are two small, black beeswax, repairs at the mouthpiece. But I don’t think they will cause any problem.

Since a few years now, Marikuku Wirrpanda works closely together with Dhapa Ganambarr.
This venture results in top quality yiḏaki. In Arhemland, Marikuku is in demand as a ceremonial yiḏaki player for the Dhuḏi-Djapu clan.
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.
I played this yiḏaki in my live show at the 2019 FATT Festival in Tavira, Portugal.

Okay one more time: Dhapa Ganambarr!!!
A solid D# with a lot of funk to it. There is a lot off power in this stick. Very nice and rich acoustics. With an easy to hit and round first trumpet note.
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.
You will need to come over and try this one!!!
I played this yiḏaki at my concert at Swisseridoo in 2017.
And at my concert at FATT Festival in Portugal 2019.
