A quick demonstration by Charlie McMahon on the didjeribone during his most recent visit to Spirit Gallery.
Charlie invented this pitch shift slide didge in 1981 and is one of enduring legends of the didgeridoo in Australia.
A good friend of the store and regular visitor we thought you might like to see Charlie in action. Still going as strong as ever!!!

Good friends of Spirit Gallery it was nice to get William Barton and Shibaten together in the store. An impromptu performance seemed so natural as if it had been rehearsed. That’s the talent of the two!!!!
Shibaten will be performing at festivals in the USA from July- Septemeber. You can follow him on facebook http://www.facebook.com/shibaten
William as always is busy performing all over the country and the world. Check him out at www.williambarton.com.au/
Introducing Stax the Didgeman!!! Stax has been playing, teaching and making didgeridoos for over 15 years now.
We recently had the pleasure of meeting him at the 2012 Melbourne Didgeridoo and Cultural Festival
A member of the Victorian Music Teachers Association and based in Melbourne Stax is available for all things didgeridoo- including private lessons, group lessons, workshops, school visits, function hire and much more
Check him out at http://www.didgeman.com.au
Its been a busy week here at Spirit Gallery as we uploaded over 60 new didgeridoos. Just click on the DIDGERIDOOS tab and the newest didges will appear by default.
A mixed bunch with a few from almost every maker we represent.
One of our favourites was a beautiful F from Kristian Benton. Not just for its playability and sound quality but for the new and unique artwork he has painted on this didgeridoo. Very different to his typical work and colour scheme but a clear favourite here at Spirit Gallery.
William and Reno from Spirit Gallery at the Sydney Opera House with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra 2011
William visits us regularly and loves going through our instrument collection. He uses our didgeridoos when performing in Sydney and he even returns them back to us when he is finished!!!- including that very valuable private collection Burton E in the picture above!!!
In all seriousness we are proud that he chooses Spirit Gallery to source many of his instruments and just to come and say hello and hang with the boys. He did a little solo last time he popped in. Enjoy the talented William Barton.

Check out some video clips from the Didge Festival in Melbourne. We missed recording some of the acts as we had to waterproof ourselves and our equipmet. The only thing we had not planned for.
A quick trip to the nearest department store fixed us up!!! Despite the rainy day fun was had by all. Enjoy!
We were lucky enough to meet Derek Pharms while at the Melbourne Didgeridoo and Cultural Festival. Derek is a great didgeridoo/yidaki player and a talented multi-instrumentalist.
His other talents include drumming, singing and much more. Check him out playing a monster Bruce Rogers F didge (which by the way will be coming to us and on our shelves in a few days!!!!)
Japanese didgeridoo performer Shibaten is a regular visitor at Spirit Gallery. A good friend of ours Shibaten will spend the next few months performing in Sydney near the Pitt St Mall. If you are lucky enough to be in Sydney be sure to check him out.
He is a mulit talented musician who plays several instruments..at the same time!!! . An all round nice guy there is something spiritual and pure about Shibaten.
He has been travelling the world performing for the last 13 years and visits us regularly on his Sydney leg.
We thought you might want to see him for yourself!!!!
