I'm with McKenzie on this one...
I think our friend(the source of the quote) has a mistaken impression, and that is that the new age didge healers are running around acting like they have expertise with aboriginal didge healing (this is typically strictly guarded, secret tribal knowledge as I understand). True, there may be some that openly do, and shame on them, for they are misrepresenting themselves, and thus are true scorn-worthy charlatans. I think the vast majority of "didge healers" are westerners that don't and aren't pretending to hold some kind of aboriginal knowledge.
I think that there is a responsibility that western vibrational healers need to aware of, however. People in the general public will tend to make the assumption that "didge player/healer"="aboriginal cultural representative". If you, as a player and healer don't make a disclaimer about that, you risk the wrong impression being made. What you are laying down is not as important as what people are picking up, so tell them you are not representing the aboriginal culture in what you do..
I think the responsibility for keeping things "crystal-clear" lies with the player/healer (which really shouldn't be a problem for any crystal-toting new-ager worth their vibrational frequency)  .
Keep making strange sounds,
