Yidaki belong to Moyle's 'Type B' classification of accompaniment in which the 'toot' or blown overtone is utilised in the musical compositions of the area, mainly North Eastern Arnhem Land and Groote Eylandt. Yidaki are typically longer with narrow necks, a characteristic which enables the use of fast tongue inflections and the staccato-like overtones used to great effect in the regional playing styles.

A classic yidaki with a beautiful tapered profile. Traditional acoustics and wonderful popping toot coupled with comfortable raw mouthpiece allow for quick rapid tongue movements and pressure accents. Great response to the passive voice and clear vocals.

A beautiful yidaki suitable for Yolngu bunngul (ceremony). Traditional voice and acoustics and lovely overtone. This instrument is a real ripping Yirritja style yidaki and has the same fundamental and overtone notes as the yidaki used by Larry Gurruwiwi on Djalu Teaches Yidaki Volume I.
A great stick for any style of play!
