ABOUT JOHN ROTUMAH

John comes from Fingal Head of the Bundjalung people in the North East of NSW. He has been painting for over 20 years on various mediums.

John creates both traditional Aboriginal and contemporary art pieces and paints stories about the land and animals showing his connection to country. His kangaroo sunsets have become a very distinct characteristic of his style of art.

ABOUT THIS DIDGERIDOO

This didgeridoo is made from a native Australian Eucalyptus tree that has been hollowed by a termite and then worked on by the maker to turn it into an instrument.

Once cut, the tree or sapling has been allowed to dry, to help minimise and prevent the likelihood of cracks and splits later on. The next process involves stripping the bark, taking further timber off and smoothing and preparing the surface.

In its final stage it has been hand painted by Aboriginal artist John Rotumah allowing it to be used as an instrument and a piece of art.

The mouthpiece is fitted with a pliable beeswax mouthpiece. The beeswax provides the player with a comfortable seal and is also adjustable to different sizes to suit each individual player.

Being a shorter didgeridoo it plays in the mid to high or high keys with a loud sound. The higher pitch makes it easier to get an initial note and being a higher key it generally prefers to be played faster.

Great affordable genuine Aboriginal termite hollowed eucalyptus didgeridoo!
