Examples of modern Australian Didgeridoos

This photo illustrates some of the modern types of Eucalyptus didgeridoos in Australia. All of these instruments were naturally hollowed-out by termites. The didgeridoos shown here are from my collection, and range from authentic/traditional instruments, to didgeridoos made for tourist trade, to non-Aboriginal didgeridoos.

A: Authentic, traditional Aboriginal didgeridoo (also called yidaki or mandapul), harvested, crafted and decorated by Aboriginals in northeastern Arnhemland, Northern Territory, who are the traditional custodians of the didgeridoo. (Made by Winiwini Larry Gurruwiwi of the Galpu clan.) I purchased this instrument from Larry through a broker.

B: Authentic, traditional Aboriginal didgeridoo (also called yidaki or mandapul), harvested, crafted and decorated by Aboriginals in northeastern Arnhemland, Northern Territory, who are the traditional custodians of the didgeridoo. (Made by Djalu’ Gurruwiwi of the Galpu clan.) I personally picked out this instrument in Yirrkala, Northern Territory.

C: Authentic, traditional Aboriginal didgeridoo (also called mago), harvested, crafted and decorated by Aboriginals in northeastern Arnhemland, Northern Territory, who are the traditional custodians of the didgeridoo. (Made by Dhugurun Gulungurr of the Ritharrngu clan.) I purchased this instrument through a broker.

D: Non-traditional Aboriginal didgeridoo made for tourist trade in Queensland. "Tourist didgeridoos" such as this instrument may have actually been harvested and crafted by non-Aboriginals. The history of this instrument in that regard is unknown. This particular instrument was ultimately decorated by Aboriginals who are not traditional custodians of the didgeridoo. I purchased this didgeridoo in a Aboriginal-operated store in Queensland.

E: Australian didgeridoo, a very fine instrument that was harvested and crafted by non-Aboriginals in Australia. Non-Aboriginal didgeridoos should not be decorated with icons, patterns or colors that resemble Aboriginal decorations, out of respect for their cultural integrity. I personally picked out this instrument in Cairns, Queensland.
