We stock a range of Fairtraded musical instruments from around the world. Here you will find Didgeridoos, Drums, Kalimbas, Ocarinas and much more..
Thought to be one of the oldest woodwind instruments known, the didgeridoo was unique to the Aboriginal people of Australia. Didges are now widely played by people wishing to use the instrument's ability to invoke images of a tribal past, through their primal drone sounds.
The Didgeridoos you see pictured at the top of the page are the basic Didge. Priced for beginners at £15.00.
Our Didgeridoos come from small communities in Indonesia. Our supplier works on a fairtrade basis in order to provide security of work for the craftspeople. In the wake of the tsunami, fair trade is a very positive way to ensure the people can rebuild their lives. Orders are paid for in advance so the people do not have to go into debt to fulfill the work.
