2010 marked our 10th anniversary of selling didgeridoos on the Internet and our 18th anniversary of selling didgeridoos.
So we gave away three didjes to celebrate this milestone.

The first prize went to:
Trey Gehring
from Baton Rouge in Mississippi, USA

We just got Treys comment and pictures, so here they are:

Trey Gehring from Baton Rouge in Mississippi, USA

Trey received his didj and kindly emailed us his picture and the following comment: "I received my beautiful didj only days after being notified that I won it. It arrived in perfect condition despite its long trip from Australia to here in the States. The first thing that really struck me about the didj was the striking hand painted design and the sheer beauty of the eucalyptus. Then I played it and I was blown away. The sound is pristine and the back pressure is truly impressive. This didj is dramatically easier to play than any didj I have ever played. I am so grateful that I won and am incredibly impressed with didjshop.com; I would suggest it to anyone looking to buy a didj. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and immediately remembered hearing that Didgeridoo playing could help. I have found my didj to be not only a source of amusement for my loved ones and I, but has truly become a therapeutic tool for improving my life. Whether you are just learning or an experienced didj player, didjshop.com is the only place to buy a quality didj that is beautiful, well-made, and completely authentic. Thanks So Much!!!

Trey has also given this feedback on Didjshop.com: "I appreciate that all the didj's are termite hollowed traditional didj's". As most respondents, Trey strongly objects to the import of 'Aboriginal art' into Australia and we very much agree with his comment on this subject: "The Aboriginal people deserve the payment for their craft as it is their culture. It is wrong to represent cheap knock-offs Aboriginal craft that is degrading to the culture."


The second prize went to:
Andrew O'Connor
from Melbourne, Australia

The second prize

"It has a very different sound (note to which I am used to) and have had a lot of fun getting used to it. It is also very large and am unable to get it into my car to even take it to the river where I play all my other didges. I have annoyed my dog to no end with the constant playing, but the native birds love the sound. You only have to play for about 5 min before they fly over and start singing. Even my 1yr old daughter is fascinated by the sounds that come out of this amazing instrument, and I hope to be playing for many years to come.
Thanks so much for the new addition to my yidaki family, It will be loved and cherished by my family and me until I pass it down to my daughter.

Andrew said this about our Didjshop.com website: "Love it, nice to see there is a community out there for everyone".

Andrew also shared this wonderful story about his didj playing experience: "I had a motorcycle accident 3 years ago and i used to sit out the front of my parents house and play the didge to a family of magpies the mother would sit on the fence in front of me whilst to my right the father would keep close watch on me and the youngling would sit at the bottom of the didge and sing as I played (sometimes it would stick its head up the bell and see where the sound was coming from) I still play there at times now and the flock has gotten bigger and the new younglings sometimes come and sing next to my didge"

Andrew did not supply a photo of himself


And the third prize went to:
Peter Huber
from Lichtenwald in Germany

We just got Peter's comment and pictures, so here they are:

Peter Huber from Lichtenwald in Germany

"One year ago I ordered my first Didgeridoo at didjshop directly in Australia. I received all didgeridoos very quick and in described quality.It was a pleasure to communicate with very friendly people there. You can trust the description of didges and quality. I'm sure to buy next didges again from them.
Best regards

Here is Peter's comment about our Didjshop.com website: "It is a complete site. I think it is a fair company with human doing"

And Peter had this to say about our service: "First quality in delivery time, support and answering my questions. Supreme"
