 I recently became obsessed with the sound a didgeridoo makes and decdied I need to get one. Well im too short on funds and the next $45 rolling in are going to GL so I decided I make use of my time I spend idle and make one. Finds out all you need is PVC and some other stuff. what I need next is a mouth piece. Only I dont have any beeswax laying around and I have no clue where to get that stuff. I figrued hey, someone on NS has to have one. So if anyone knows how to make a mouthpiece without beeswax or where to get some let me know. And I googled

And for those who dont know, a didgeridoo is those long pipes the Aborigines play.

I have one, but I didn't make it, I bought it. I think you can buy beeswax at arts stores though, like Michael's (if you have that near where you live).

++ Karma if you could direct me towards some sites with instructions on how to make one, didgeridoos are insanely cool

check mushroom growing websites. i grow mushrooms, and you use beeswax to plug the holes. i have a huge block of it in my garage, plenty to make a mouthpiece out of.
