A real firecracker of a yidaki, built for speed and virtuosity, with that elastic high backpressure which is so popular with players who devote themselves to the Yolngu "Rock 'n 'Roll" style. An instrument to light up the eyes of Larry Winiwini Gurruwiwi & Co. Anyone who's seen the Japanese DVD "Yidaki Festa 2003" will know that Ngongu Ganambarr, who made this instrument, is an absolute virtuoso player himself. As with many really fast yidakis, the sound of this instrument is warm, pleasantly throaty, slightly compressed and also quite heavy - substantial mass is apparently necessary to handle this type of pressure and compression. Reacts particularly well to tongued accents and the toot is as easy and speedy as could be desired. You'll definitely be tempted to see just how far you can push the limits, due to the amount of power developed by the very economical effort to effect ratio, but to reduce this yidaki to just tempo and pressure would do great injustice to its complexity and integrity.   Movie
