Poi and Lightstaff now available
16th July 2008
A range of Poi and a 'Lightwave' staff now available. After searching and waiting for yonks, I can now offer a variety of Poi from soft spinning Poi, to 3-in-1 Poi (choose between three different forms - ball, flag and sock), and super LED Poi that can be set on idividual colours, set on one colour or strobe effect. I am happy to be able to offer them all at competitive prices. These Poi are what I use and have had many many hours of fun - and it helps me get fitter :-) The lightwave works on the same basis as the LED poi, but in the sahpe of a two piece connecting staff so you can use one staff or two!
Sound Samples Added
22nd June 2008
Numerous free mp3 samples have been posted for didgeridoos available to buy - three free mp3 samples each in both lo-fi (64kbps, mono, smaller file) and hi-fi (192kbps, stereo, larger file), in mp3 format. I will be adding other free mp3 samples over the next few days and weeks but not for the 'How to Play the Didgeridoo' section as I am waiting until I can fully edit all the samples.
Didgeridoo's Now Available to Buy
18th June 2008
At long last I have finished making, photographing, recording and editing the didgeridoo's I have, and have made avaialable a quantity of didgeridoos for sale. They are all split wood didgeridoo construction i.e. cut the wood in half, hollow out and glue back together (no termites in the UK!) Most have three sound samples in both lo-fi and hi-fi (sound samples to be added in next few days). I am working on a way to enlarge and compare different didges without having to go from page to page.
Clapsticks Added to Accessories
12th June 2008
Clapsticks have been added to the accessories in the shop. I have a number of generic hardwood clapsticks available alongside individual pairs of clapsticks made from specific species of wood - Yew and Oak so far. All have several images for you to look at. More to follow.
Wood Aquired for Mini Didges
02nd May 2008
At long last I have been able to source some reasonably priced timber to make a number of mini-didges. I hope to be able to have them available by the end of the month. I am quite excited about this as I aim to make compact didges at an affordable price yet still produce good sound. Sound samples will be placed on this site.
Cajon Drums Being Built
23rd April 2008
After much experimentation I have put together a small range of cajon drums. They are in the final stages of being made and I hope to have them available by the end of May. Sound samples will be available. I'm holding back on details as I have been experimenting, but hopefully will produce something a little different than currently available.
Didgeridoos Being Finished
16th April 2008
Approximately half dozen wooden didgeridoos are nearing completion and will be available by the end of May. These didges have been selected for experimentation in aesthetics with artwork going on most of them. Using pyrography to create the imagery. I'll stop typing now and go and do a bit more - that way you can see the photo's sooner! lol
New Workshop Sourced
15th April 2008
Good news! After a spell of being without a workshop I have agreed use of a workshop locally which will sorted through May thus allowing me to complete alot of unfinished work. Watch this space.
Web Site Rebuild Underway
14th April 2008
At long last I am rewriting this website. When origonally wrtten, approximately two years ago it was without knowledge of things like keywords and certainly without any appreciation for different browsers and so on. Well things have been manic to say the least but the rebuild is underway. Initially focusing on getting the site content on the screen and everything working right, then I will go back and add all the images, audio and vu=ideo samples, and and the interactive side of things.
