		The didgeridoo or didjeridu is the yidaki or yiraki in the language of the Yolngu, one of the peoples of Northern Australia, where the instrument originated.
		The instrument is deceptively simple: it is just a wooden tube, about 1.2 to 1.5 m long, hollowed out by termites in the thin trunk of a eucalypt tree, and with a ring of beeswax around the mouthpiece for sealing and player's comfort.
		The yidaki or didjeridu is an iconic Australian instrument and, as an Australian research lab specialising in music acoustics, we thought that we should.

	Yidaki: A foreword from "The Didjeridu From Arnhem Land to Internet" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		In northeast Arnhem Land Yidakis tend to be long and therefore the pitch is low.
		The Yidaki has a serious role to play in men's ceremony, but it is also used as a popular instrument that can be played for the enjoyment of women and children.
		In some cases, the Yidaki is used for physical healing with the player concentrating his breath on an afflicted part of the patients body.

	Physics of the didgeridoo (didjeridu or yidaki) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		This page is an appendix to a scientific paper on the vocal tract and the sound of the yidaki (also known as didjeridu or didgeridoo).
		Another important tract configuration is that used for 'circular breathing', during which the soft palate seals the mouth from the nasal cavity, allowing the player to inhale from nose to lungs while expelling air stored in the inflated cheeks into the instrument.
		In our paper on the yidaki, we briefly discuss the importance of the glottis (the aperture left open between the vocal folds) in the production of strong resonances in the vocal tract in the kHz region.

	Survey Results - q14
		Yidaki has a warm sound,but a lot of the didgeridoos I've played all sound the same and the mouthpieces are quite large with a ton of wax.
		I reserve the term "Yidaki" to an instrument wich had been made in an aboriginal community, for a goal wich is not only a merchant one,an instrument in wich the maker put his knowledge of the usage of it.
		Yidaki to me means an instrument crafted by Yolngu people for specific use within the frame of reference of their own culture.

		Australian musician Xavier Rudd plays the yidaki with great skill in a self-taught fashion, using it at times almost like a beatbox, vocalizing, almost spitting with rhythmic abandon.
		Besides yidaki, there are (among many others) also iraga, ilhambilbilg, kanbi and gabang.
		The yidaki has been removed from its traditional role in the lives of aborigines, and is an ever-more recognizable sound in music all over the world.

	Garma Festival Yidaki Statement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		The sound of the Yidaki at Gulkula is a call to the clans of northeast Arnhem Land to come together.
		Yet Yolngu people are concerned that the emergence of a global culture and the commercialisation of the Yidaki has the potential to separate the Yidaki from its origins in the sacred stories which are at the heart of the songs.
		Ritual leaders of northeast Arnhem Land are calling for a new relationship with Balanda which recognises the centrality of the Yidaki to the Aboriginal groups who by right and tradition have the Yidaki as one of the instruments of cultural expression.

	Didjeridu Myths and Legends
		This instrument is a branch from a tree in which white ants (or termites) eat their way up through the center towards the sunlight keeping the outer shell solid for protection.
		This story of the didjeridu comes from the dreaming of the people of the Northern Territory and they say that YIDAKI the warrior was coming home from a hunt with kangaroo over his shoulder when he saw a dead branch lying on the ground.
		He picked it up and there was daylight coming in the other end and noticed there were a lot of little insects (which you call termites) in there.
