Merci, Francois, for the Didgeridoo information. Thanks for correcting me
about the stringless aspect of the instrument. I thought I had heard
somewhere that it was the only well-established instrument in which the
sound vibrations were generated by blowing air over a taught "string" in
the body of the thing. Apparently I was mistaken, a condition with which
I'm becoming very familiar. Could you perhaps give me, and others "dans
la matrice" who may be similarly swaddled in ignorance, a little lesson
on how the instrument actually does work?
I LOVE its unique sound. Thanks!
Chaco
