Didjeribone

Didjeribone

The didjeribone is a sliding didgeridoo made of plastic. It is a musical instrument invented by Australian didgeridoo player Charlie McMahon in 1981.

The didjeribone came from McMahon's desire to expand the potential for the didgeridoo in music. In traditional Aboriginal music didgeridoos are not tuned precisely and mainly play a rhythmic drone to support a song. With McMahon's band Gondwana, the didgeridoo became the focus so more was demanded of it.Different materials were tried. Metals were found to be unsuitable as they corrode from breath moisture and sound cold. Wood pipes tended to jam as wood absorbs moisture and the inner pipe expands more than the outer one. Plastics had none of these problems. In addition to plastic, the didjeribone also comes in varieties of woods, mainly eucalyptus.

In 1995 Didjeribone was registered as a trademark.
