Drums, Rainsticks, Didgeridoos and musical instruments from Bali
August 30th, 2007 indonesiaexportWhen most people think of the didgeridoo I would guess that, like me, they think of the Australian instrument.
Didgeridoos, however, are also made in Bali — we should know, it was one of our earliest product lines (we’ve been producing and shipping them since 1998).
A couple of weeks ago, we raised rainstick and didgeridoo prices by nearly double. The hike was long overdue; we hadn’t raised any of the digeridoo pricing for a few years and it turned out we were getting killed on the pricing.
Since then, we’ve been doing our best to look for alternative carvers and pricing to bring the line back down to a more realistic price level and we think we’ve done it.
To give you just one example, a 120cm bamboo didgeridoo (as in the picture) is now priced at US$3.76 each… I’ve seen bamboos of the same type and size for sale in the UK at around US$35.00.
The new prices are now online (you need to be logged in before you can see those prices) so please take a moment to look them over and let us know how we’re doing.

Along with pricing, we’ll be taking pictures of new models sometime over the next couple of weeks — I’ll update with a news story at that time.
Enjoy,
