Even though I am a relatively new to the world of "didge" I kind of agree. Of my 2 didges, both PVC, one is I believe Eb and the other I honestly cannot tell. My stepson has a didgital(spelling:-) guitar tuner. Last night I used it for my didges and one was Eb, the other I could not get a reading for. It is lower then the Eb. I noticed that my vocals seem better in the lower pitch. I have a sorta lower voice and the Eb just does not sound as good.

The funny thing is, I have virtually no knowledge of music so I am probably completely wrong about the pitch of my didges. That is the great thing about didgeridoos, as long as it sounds good nothing else matters!!!!

I don't play my low ones often enough...
I need to spend more time with my low "A"...
It's about 9'3", check the pic:

Hey Tom.....good to hear from ya mate:-) No need for "wickedly fast" rhythms to get folks dancing...its more of what kind of rhythm and how its played that gets 'em moving...slow works just fine and its more the feel than the speed that counts.........voice of busking experience here;-) We can get feet dancing by playing a low A just as easily as the E's that we normally busk with.........but yes.....I love the low keys too, ever since hearing Jason Strazz play Mongoloid at the first JT fest.
We take my low A yucca (Jack Reeder) down to busk and we take folks into the split rocks you see behind us in our youtube video. Very resonant space and its part of why we choose that particular spot to busk in. When I start it up I can always hear a collective gasp, followed by everyone (myself include) experiencing goosebumps:-)
Too, I have that 9' long Low G Yucca from the late peter Spoeker...we used both the mentioned low keys on our latest CD and we plan on even more low key tunes on the next one.

Hey Tom,

You know, I like 'em high and fast and I like 'em low and deep... and I love it when you play that low A flat, so sweet! Some of that stuff you played at the concerts in Portland, and that low jam you played with Jason Strazzabosco in the tipi at JT 2006 are still happily rumbling through my grey matter. Missed you this year! :-(

Another fave low didg of mine is Alan Tower's low G agave, Fat Boy. Also, Robbin Palmer's low E by Chad. Mmm...

To date , my entire quiver of stick's are imported from oz , and they range in every key , I have to say my favorite stick to date is the one I call my heavy B , I had purchased a few raw stock stick's (Mallee eucalyptus) just to have around to share with friend's etc. reworked em , and even painted a couple up , and I ran across my favorite stick , my heavy B. A stroke of luck I reckon , as believe it or not I have paid 10 time's the price and not got as strong of sound. When busking Ive often refered to this didge as my harley davidson of didge's,, low rumbling wicked vibrating stik. Alway's get's a laugh ...So i suppose you could say , I really Love a low tone Didge,, But im a sucker for any stick with loud booming vocal's ....

Cheer's all, Namaste'

So you got it's twin huh? When are we going to get together and get lost in the vibrations? It needs to happen. I hope all is well with you Tom, as well as the rest of you wonderful people, I can't wait till InDidjInUs. I need those low vibrations... those are the ones that really call to me. Tom, lets get together and do some much needed Brain Massaging!! :) Did I tell you I made my own as well? Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

Much Love

You probably already know about this, but since you dig the 'deep' sounds, have you tried didjing in an acoustical place? I found one - and it's in my living room, right at the door and there is a closet there. I stand in front of the door and man it BOOMS. I have a few didges - one aussie aboriginal one - it's a Key C, and a few PVC ones I made. One is a Key F and they all sound so much deeper and richer when I stand by the door and play. I found this place by accident, coz I like to go outside on the porch and play, and I was buzzing my didj on the way out and the echoing in that place just blew me away! Found out checking the didj vids out on YouTube that the Aboriginals call a large big didj a 'Mago'. Check out some vids on there - they're interesting. Hope this helps. Harold
