Djalu making yidaki, Dopiya painting, and Vernon playing murrnginy yidaki

This is a continuation of Djalu making an incredible yidaki for me, the earlier video is here:
• Djalu Gurruwiwi making...
After the angle grinder, the instrument was put on a drum sander, then hand sanded with sandpaper, and finally sealed on the outside with PVA glue before it was painted by Dopiya with a stunning gapu design.
Last, Vernon let's the stick rip as only he can!
I can't fault this stick on any count, there's so much to like about it not least of which is its ability to respond STRONGLY to tongued accents. The air column pops like nothing I've played or heard before. I guess I like it so much because I can play the yidaki and everything comes out right, and I can sound like Vernon, Djalu or Larry without trying too hard. It's a cheat's instrument I know :-)

Ha ha haaaa ! Stunning ! Awesome ! Murrnginy !
@Losbergs2 > it is sugar-bag, a special black bees wax, very hard.
If you don't have any, you can mix some coal powder and ochres to "normal" beeswax... it hardens it and makes it last longer.
Still with "normal" beeswax, it only needs to be changed when it gets dirty, same with all other types of beeswaxes... Then, you don't even need to change the whole lot : just scrape the top coat.
