25/04/07 - NEW COMPREHENSIVE YIDAKI INFORMATION PAGES!
Check them out now right here. Hopefully everything you ever wanted to know about yidaki from the Yolngu perspective.

21/09/06 - WEBSITE NEWS
Sorry for the lack of updates to this website this year. Business has been so strong that there has been no time to maintain individual yidaki listings. We are now trying to provide more information about our artists and their work, and to show groups of available instruments for you to view and inquire further about if you are interested. This way we can keep things up-to-date easily rather than neglecting the website because it takes too much time!

We are also refocusing on wholesale customers, to try and spread our instruments far and wide, for overseas customers to try them in person. You can find a list of our worldwide resellers HERE.

Keep checking in with our site for up-to-date information and our soon to be published comprehensive yidaki information pages.
