I''m 40. Just saying.

I have a digereedoo, and I have not mastered the circular breathing technique. It certainly would be a great skill to use with this instrument, but damn.

I can only inhale so quickly. And, I can only hold so much air in my cheeks. The balance is not anything close to equal. Plus the digereedoo is a high volume instrument, not in loudness, but in the amount of air it takes to make it sound like, you know, a digereedoo. I have toyed with the idea of making the mouth hole smaller, so I can get away with a tighter smaller pursing of my lips, but I can't think of how to do this... Beeswax around the opening? Anyhow, circular breathing is real. Real hard.
