Bamboo Didgeridoo 竹製 Didgeridoo

 

 

Code : TT 43

Introduction :

Didgeridoo is an Australian aboriginal instrument made of a variety of materials : wood, bamboo, tree bark, reptile or fish skin, or various kinds of stick. The most famous Australian instrument, however, which has become a symbol of the continent along with the boomerang and the kangaroo, is the didgeridoo : a trumpet of considerable length made of a sapling that has been hollowed out by termites. The pitch of the didgeridoo varies according to the length of the tube. Didgeridoo produces a continuous penetrating sound, though skilled players are capable of occasionally interjecting short vocal phrases. The didgeridoo is thus a kind of “storyteller”.

Didgeridoos are played by men and boys, often together with clapping sticks, to accompany singing and dancing as well as for funeral ceremonies. The best position for playing the didgeridoo is seated with one leg bent to the side and the other stretched forward, with the foot helping to support the instrument.

簡介：

Didgeridoo 是澳洲土著的一種樂器，可用各種材料製成，如木、竹、樹皮、爬蟲類、魚皮或各種棒子。然而，這澳洲最著名的樂器，連同迴力鏢和袋鼠已成為澳洲大陸的象徵。Didgeridoo是用被白蟻掏空了的樹幹作吹管的長喇叭。根據吹管的不同長度，didgeridoo 的聲音也不同。Didgeridoo 能發出連續而穿透的聲音，雖然熟練的演奏者有能力，偶爾會加插短聲樂於其中。因此，didgeridoo 可說是一種會『講故事』的樂器。

Didgeridoos 由男士及男孩吹奏，通常與拍手棒子 (clapping sticks) 一同演奏，為唱歌、跳舞伴奏，以及用於葬禮儀式上。最佳演奏 didgeridoo 的姿勢是坐着，一條腿向側面屈曲，另一條腿向前伸展，用腳掌協助支撐樂器。
