Yidaki is not like a guitar or ukulele or bass or drum. It's all coming from the ancestors who were giving to those particular tribes that they can play didjeridu. And those tribes, they knew what is the yidaki and where the yidaki comes from. It's all coming from the land. When you see a tree standing up there, it's coming from the land, you know? And that yidaki was chopped off, or took it off from the tree. It was used for particular ceremony.
