When not playing your instrument, always keep it in the carry bag provided. This carry bag was designed and custom made to fit your didjeridu only.

The reason your didjeridu fits so snugly in that carry bag is: not only to protect it from small bumps but to keep your instrument at a reasonable temperature at all times. Because as the Didjeridus are just like people says, they don't like to be too hot or too cold.

When you are OUT AND ABOUT, there is just one two letter word that will absolutely protect your instrument, that word is IN.

Your Instrument should always be:

•  IN YOUR hands when not in its carry bag.

•  IN YOUR hands when performing.

•  IN its carry bag and on YOUR shoulder when using shoulder strap.

•  IN its carry bag and laying down flat when not in use.

•  IN its carry bag in YOUR hand when being carried by the carry handle.

•  IN its carry bag in YOUR line of sight when not doing any of the above.

If you can remember this small word and practice the above, your instrument will most certainly outlive you ;)

At home

The outside of your instrument:

1 - If your instrument just needs a polish, use a polymer auto polish containing absolutely NO cutting compound.

2 - If your instrument is a bit dirtier, a soft cloth with some warm soapy water will usually get the job done. Then back to step one.

3 - For any other more stubborn material, it may be best to contact Bob Druett for specific instructions

The inside of your instrument:

Notice: It is very important that you follow these next three steps exactly.

First step:

Purchase soft bristle bottle brush with at least 20cm handle

Second step:

Make a weak solution of warm water and mild detergent. Dip bottle brush into solution with the mouthpiece wax still on the instrument. Clean as you would inside a bottle.

Because Bob Druett instruments are sealed inside to prevent cracking, it is not necessarily to scrub vigorously. When you have gently cleaned inside the mouthpiece end, repeat this step at the bell end.

Now cover the bell end with a plastic bag and or glad wrap. Fill you instrument three quarter full with clean water, put your hand over the mouthpiece end, rock your instrument back and forward a few times, empty out and repeat once more.

Then, for the ONLY time each year that your instrument is not in use or protected by its carrybag, your instrument should be placed in a corner standing but at a slight angle, protected from wind, animals and children until it dries inside. Then back into its personal carrybag.
