Toca DIDG-CG Curved Didgeridoo - Gecko Design

Sounds awesome. Easy to play.

First off, I am not generally in the habit of writing reviews - BUT - I was so impressed with this item that I simply couldn't pass this by without saying something! Anyone that writes a poor review on this didgeridoo based solely on the materials it's made from is just a jerk. This instrument, in spite of the materials it is made of, is clearly crafted by people who care about the work they do - and if there is one thing that I appreciate the most, it's craftsmanship. Shaped into aesthetic curves then painted to give the appearance of a cherry wood stain before adding the native decorations, this instrument looks pretty darn good for the price. If you saw it without actually picking it up, you might even think that it was authentic wood. As far as the quality of sound goes, it sounds just fine to my ears and I can't wait to practice more. In summary, this is a great item and I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to pay a whole lot for a more traditional piece. PS - I'm going to get some bee's wax for the mouth piece as suggested by others here as well. My concern being that the moisture build-up from playing this instrument might mess up the paint finish.

Beautiful didg great value. I was so pleased with the beauty of this and the light weight. I am new to this but have found that even 30min a day you can improve so much. It is so much fun and so exiting for any age. Wonderful for kids to have something to do, you feel accomplished after every practice because you hear the difference.Can't go wrong with this so nicely made you want to play it. I can't say enough about this didg. I am over the moon with it.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to play the Toca didgeridoo, and the sound quality is great; even better, the price is very reasonable. Our 7-year old son loves it and learned how to play it quickly; he now wants the Toca gecko didgeridoo (same price). I would highly recommend this instrument.

I ordered this because I have sleep apnea and wanted to see if it would help me. Too early to tell. Wash it best you can before using. Mine had a yellow powdery substance inside of it, probably so it would not stick to the mold. It is plastic so it will not crack like wood can when it gets dried out. I also washed out a lot of maroon colored paint chips that were inside. The designs are nice but should be on top of the instrument so they can be seen while playing it rather than on the bottom. The word "TOCA" is also painted on the top near the mouthpiece. I like the fact that the manufacturer is proud enough to put their name on it. My guess is that it is made in China and I am really hoping that the paint is not lead based. Overall, I like the instrument and would purchase again from this same seller. I intended to make my own but have not had the time yet. It is a thrill when you can finally get the "drone" sound. Took me about 3 days. The circular breathing I find difficult but challenging. I would recommend this instrument. Be advised, however, that you will be playing sounds and not any top 50 hits!

This $35. didgeridoo is tied for my FAVORITE didgeridoo of the FIVE that I have collected thus far. The other four cost me: $530, $410, $130, and $40. I often think of this wonderful sounding $35 didgeridoo as possibly the deal of the century. I also own the DIDG-CTS Curved didgeridoo which is IDENTICAL to the DIDG-CG except for the color (red/brown mahogany color for the DIDG-CTS Versus black for the DIDG-CG) and the painted decoration. They are in the key of D#. I find that these have a SUPERIOR SOUND compared to the other synthetic didgeridoos that I have collected (such as the Meinl Synthetic). This may be due to the Toca's lengthwise curvature and the cross-sectional flare on the final one third of the bell end. I HIGHLY recommend these two Toca Curved didges. If you get one, you will need to abrade the inside of the didge close to the mouthpiece end to remove paint bubbles/chips. I used steel wool to do this. ALSO: I found that I could make the PVC mouthpiece more comfortable by building it up with BEESWAX (the same way that Australian aborigines form their mouthpieces). For people who do not know how this is done: just buy a wad of beeswax and let it sit in a glass of hot water for at least 5 minutes. Then pull off parts of the wad and roll them into the form of thick spaghetti. Then you can wrap this around a hard pvc or wooden mouthpiece into the shape that works best for you. As the beeswax cools, it hardens.

I purchased this 'doo to upstage all the guys with guitars at my University in an attempt to get laid. Ended up starting a band with by buddy who plays the kazoo. We were the Talentless Few. We opened for Sea Swallows in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where we met the future manager of Imagine Dragons who thought we were complete garbage. My friend quit the band after that, shattering my dreams of making it big, so I joined the Army. Went to basic combat training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where I met the Mormon missionaries and was eventually baptized. After Basic, my commanding officer also turned out to be a Mormon, so he helped me file for a conditional release so I could serve a mission for the Mormon Church. I was called to serve in Venice, Los Angeles, where I knocked on the door of Matt Stone, who was in the middle of snorting a line if coke with Trey Parker. They listened to all the lessons in one sitting and had a lot of questions. Anyways, when I got home from my mission I heard they had made a little play about the Mormons so I visited New York City to see it for myself. That's where I met my wife. We've been married for seven years and we have two kids. 5 stars.

I do not give a full five star rating bc when I recieved it the box was ripped leaving half of it out and tapped to the box to keep it inside the box. And the mouth peice is cracked. Even tho its cracked I can still play it. It had great sound. I plan in fixing the crack with resin. Definitely easy for a beginner to use so I gave 5 stars on that. It's very lightweight. But I feel its fragile too. I recomend that the company find a better way of packaging the product tho.

Didgeridoo di media taglia a prezzo fattibile,ma un po' ingombrante. Lo raccom anderei agli apassionati di strumenti etnici,ma anche a semplici amanti di musica

Evidemment il ne faut pas se plaindre qu'il ne sort pas un son d'une qualité comparable aux meilleurs, et ce pour un de ses avantages : le prix ! Très bon marché ça permet de s'y intéresser sans exploser son budget et commencer l'entrainement du souffle continu. Il y a pleins de très bon tutos sur internet pour apprendre. Côté son, je trouve qu'il résonne vraiment très bien et qu'il est plutôt facile d'y jouer comparé à d'autres, après je suis encore débutant en la matière (après un mois de pratique). Il est en plastique et donc très léger, il est plus pratique à transporter que ceux en bois. D'après les commentaires en anglais, pour le même prix celui ci sonne mieux que certains en bois ou bambou, à voir je les ai pas essayé. L'embouchure à une taille parfaite pour souffler et est assez confortable (après 30mn je ne ressens pas d'inconfort particulier) La seule surprise que j'ai eu est lors de la livraison, on dirait un carton de TV 70" ! A part ça rien à redire :)

Great Addition to any Sound Bather. But be warned haha takes air lol definitely need practice but once you get it sends good chills down everyones spine lol You don't need beeswax mouth piece to play. (I ordered and haven't used yet.) Fits my mouth pretty good. The circle breathing is tricky but its comin along. ;) I love it! ❤️

Por el material de construcción, a pesar de su longitud (130 cm aprox) tiene un tono bastante grave. Yo le he puesto una embocadora de cera, porque se ajusta más a mí. Contento con la compra. Me gustaría que hubieran incluído algún prospecto sobre cuidados, ya que al tratarse de un instrumento de viento, los necesita.

Das Kunststoffdidge - ist leicht in die Resonanzschwindung zu bekommen - lässt sich dadurch einfach spielen, sehr gut für Einsteiger - hat einen super kräftigen Klang oder - ist leicht im Gewicht - dadurch einfach zu tragen - und super verarbeitet
