Dreamtime Didjeridu

The didjerdiu is the traditional musical instrument of the Australian Aboriginies, and this website has all the information about it. The instrument is discussed in detail, including the history, myths and legends, as well as a section on how to make or repair a didjeridu. For new players, there is a good tutorial on how to play, which includes sound examples. For people who would rather just listen to the music rather than play it, there is also a comprhensive discography of didjeridoo music, complete with some sound files. This site has been on the Web for many years as is evidenced by the simple text style, but what it lacks in fancy graphics it more than makes up for in the huge volume of interesting and informative content.
