I guess its the thought of its uniqueness that rules my motives from the start, with a synthetic piece. Where as wood and bamboo or agave already have that individual sense in them. Everything in nature is interconnected while retaining individual aspects at the same time. My perspective starts from the idea that each of my didges needs to be as much of an individual as the person playing it will be. Synthetics require a bit more thought but by the end of the process have that uniqueness built into them in different ways.
Natural stuff demands something more of an equal partnership.
That's a quote from a journal I keep on my didge work. Of course the down side to all this is that some didges just won't play right for certain players. For the kind of work I do though, it works out better in the end. I'm trying to sell to people who know how to play and already own one. People who know they want a particular sound and style.
