I have noted that the really good didjes resonate for a few seconds after you quit playing. To hear this, quit blowing and turn your ear to the mouth piece. All my didjshop high concert sticks have this quality. I believe this resonance also helps playing very softly, almost to the point where you can't hear, but the stick continues to vibrate at extremely low air flow. I value this bottom dynamic as much as rated loudness. Some really good sticks have great dynamic range, from a whisper to a roar.... but not all, I have a very good high G that plays loudly and resonates well, but can't really be played at a whisper. Still this high G continues to resonate after I quit blowing, so contradicts my thought that resonance helps playing softly ... maybe it is related to length?
Just some observation for those interested! bongo, USA
