We had introduced the concept of a Didgeridoo “Pick of the Week” shortly after our new site launched, by showcasing the didgeridoos on Facebook. The idea unfortunately faded around the holidays and we never picked it back up again until now. The idea behind our pick of the week, is to showcase any instrument that stands out as a current favorite in the mix. All the didgeridoos are great, but from time to time one just stands out from the … [ Read the Rest... ]

LA Outback just received, and posted to the site, a new batch of didgeridoos by James Wallace. James has a talent for seeing forms and art in places others may overlook. Like finding faces or characters in the clouds, James can do this by looking at a piece of wood found along a river bank or forest floor. He loves the outdoors and prefers living in a rural environment. And with the exception of high school art and an airbrush … [ Read the Rest... ]

We’re excited to announce the birth of Will Thoren’s new Bamboo Multi Drone didgeridoos! “What really excites me”, says Will, “is these instruments enable me to craft solid multi drone instruments that are more affordable.

We’re always trying to think of new ways to service our customer base here at LA Outback, and one of the things we often get asked by beginners is “Where can I find a didgeridoo instructor near me”?
