Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

If you don't bent it, and you get another bit of pipe that fits over (or inside) that one, you can make a Slide Didg.

It makes it a lot more interesting to play at events when you can tune your didg to the surrounding music/drums.

Also, you can make the whole thing a lot shorter/more packable by compressing the length/collapsing the tube.

More in the past than now. I used to hang out with a bunch of hippies when I lived in Spokane.

What are you using for a mouth piece? I use layered beeswax.

OAL extended: 56-1/2"

OAL compressed 35-1/2"

Small (inner/mouthpiece) tube 1-1/2"
Outer slide 1-3/4".

There is an air/friction seal of a couple of wraps of duct tape around the inner tube.
