The Dinner That Changed Everything 🍽️

It all began at a family dinner—just a regular Friday night that unexpectedly changed my life.
My uncle walked in with this long, wooden instrument I had never seen before: a didgeridoo.
He played a few deep, resonant notes, and something just clicked in me.
I was completely mesmerized.
“What is this?” I asked, and before I knew it, I was holding it myself, trying to make a sound.
I didn’t leave that room for the rest of the night. I got completely lost in the sound.

Seeing how captivated I was, my uncle gave me simple PVC pipe, and a challenge:
“If you learn how to circular breathe on this, I’ll get you a real didgeridoo.”
I took it seriously—practiced nonstop for a week.
By the next Friday, I showed up and said, “Where’s my didgeridoo?”
I had done it. Circular breathing: mastered.
And from that moment, my journey with the didgeridoo officially began.

Becoming The Strawberry Man 🍓

From then on, I played everywhere—parties, street corners, psytrance events. The didgeridoo wasn’t just an instrument anymore—it was part of who I was.

At 18, I took a trip to Thailand with my friends.
That’s where The Strawberry Man was born.
I bought this ridiculous strawberry hat, just for fun.
Next thing I knew, I was dancing on stripper poles (WITH CLOTHES!),
making strangers laugh with that hat on my head. People started recognizing me.

Back home, I kept the vibe going—showing up at events in the strawberry hat, playing the didgeridoo, and literally handing out strawberries. People loved it.
I started getting invited and paid to do just that. (What??)

It was strange, hilarious, and somehow perfect.

I Have a Problem with Planes 🧳

After a while, I was planning a trip to India.
Of course, I wanted to take my didgeridoo—but there was one problem:
It didn’t fit on a plane.

Too long, too fragile, too risky. I’d heard horror stories of didgeridoos breaking in transit, and I wasn’t going to take that chance.
But how could I travel without it? I needed the sound.

That’s when the idea hit me.

What if I could design a didgeridoo that was compact enough to travel with, but still had the same soul and power?

Bending the Rules (Literally) 🧠

I discovered Dan Flynn on YouTube, talking about his work with Frank Geipel - a physicist who designed perfectly tuned didgeridoos using advanced modeling.

Their sound was incredible. I knew I had to get something like that.

Eventually, I managed to get a didge with a similar tone - powerful, trumpet-capable - but something still felt missing. The sound was there. The shape wasn’t.

I stood on the shoulders of giants… and then I decided to jump.

While Dan and Frank showed the world what perfect sound could be, I imagined sound that could move.
I didn’t just want a new tone, I wanted a new form.

So I bent the rules.
Literally.


After a few wild attempts, it finally clicked.
The curve was right. The breath flowed differently.
That was the exact moment the Saxo-Didge was born.

India: The First Test 🌏

I took the first Saxo-Didge with me to India.
The moment I started playing on the streets, people were amazed.
They’d never seen anything like it.

I played everywhere—from chaotic markets to quiet streets.
I started to perform.

Thanks to this, I met amazing musicians, including a Japanese artist named Naoto. We jammed, we started experimenting with overtone singing while playing the didge. Then, I played with the idea of beatbox inside the didge as I was following DUB-FX videos, trying to combine the techniques.

It wasn’t just a didgeridoo anymore.
It was something new..

Busking in Berlin 🎶

Next stop: Berlin. Everyone said the music scene was wild—and they were right.

I played in the streets, in parks, in underground spots and on some big stages.
Some days I made €600 just from busking.

I never expected this strange, curved instrument to support me.
But it did. And more than that—it connected me with people in ways I still can’t fully explain.

Meeting the Source 🇦🇺

Then I remembered something my uncle once told me:
“One day, you need to go to Australia and meet the Aboriginal people who created the didgeridoo.”

So I saved up. And I went.

I traveled to the Northern Territory, to Arnhem Land, and met Djalu and Larry Gurruwiwi of the Yolngu tribe. I was nervous.
Some people had warned me—said the Saxodidge might be seen as disrespectful. But the moment Larry saw it, he picked it up and played.

Two minutes in, the crowd was cheering.
And me? I started to cry.


I stayed with them for a while. We played, talked, and connected. They welcomed me.
At some point during my visit, I was blessed and told that I hold the healing powers of the rainbow serpent, and it’s time for me to go out into the world and spread the message.
That was the moment I knew: the Saxo-Didge had a place.
And I had a mission.

Reinventing the Instrument 🛠

Back in Berlin, I returned with a new sense of purpose.
But during a performance, the wooden Saxo-Didge started to crack.

I knew it was coming—the design was beautiful, but the sound wasn't perfect, and the material wasn’t strong enough.
So I decided to take it to the next level.

We rebuilt it from the ground up—using a new sound design and lighter, stronger and more responsive materials that could handle time, travel, and the chaos of real life.
And it still kept that warm, organic sound.

The new Saxo-Didge was born.


Today: A Community, Not Just an Instrument 🌟

After years of traveling, playing, and developing this instrument, I’m proud to say:
The Saxo-Didge isn’t just mine anymore.

It belongs to a growing global community—of musicians, dreamers, sound healers, and creators who believe in the power of music to connect people.

This is more than a musical instrument.
It’s a journey.
It’s a movement.
And it’s just getting started!

There’s a lot more to this story.
But some things are better experienced than explained.

Welcome to the world of Saxo-Didge.
