At left are the yidaki we have available from Datjirri #1 Wunungmurra, as of 21 September 2006. One of them, a very special and unique instrument, is featured below. Please contact us if you're interested in this or any of the others.

Datjirri and his wife Djilirrma Mununggurr haven't been working on yidaki lately, but are keen to start again. Hopefully we can offer more of their work including their trademark relief-carved instruments like the one shown to the right soon.

If you've heard the Nhundirribala CD of music from Numbulwar, south of Yolngu country, this unusual yidaki's sound might be familiar. It is extremely high and somewhat constricted, creating a sound that is somehow both very distant yet loud and powerful. It's unlike anything else we have, and strangely appealing!
