Weird stringed instruments5/6/2023 ![]() I actually have MORE information about how long it takes to learn the didgeridoo (with myself as an example) in my post here. Some have more difficulty with circular breathing and making a drone than others, but some are able to pick up the basic sounds and techniques in just a week. What I love about the didgeridoo is that you can learn to play the basics in a week’s time. If you’d like more information about buying and finding a didgeridoo for beginners, I made an easy guide, here. Toca makes an attractive one that you can find here on Amazon. That means you can play the didgeridoo for less than $10.īesides ABS/PVC homemade didgeridoos, you can purchase a plastic didgeridoo that looks great and will sound great for beginners. The instrument can be made from any solid material-in fact if you really want to stay inexpensive, any ABS/PVC pipe that is from an inch to 1.5 inches in diameter (25mm-40mm) can be played as a didgeridoo. Make sure and check that out if you want to get an idea of what the instrument is like to learn: I actually did a basic tutorial on just the basics of how to play the bongos, how to hold them, and how to tune them. You can simply hit the drums like you would any beach ball, or you can learn the more advanced rhythms and sounds. The key to learning bongos is to understand the different sounds and voicings that the drums can make. You don’t have to stop at simple rhythms and be done-you can learn to play complicated and fast rhythms that sound amazing if you are willing to put in the time. However, the bongos have a depth that makes them interesting and exciting to play. Within minutes you can play fundamental rhythms. The simplicity of the bongos makes them very approachable for a beginner.

Bongosīongos are two drums joined together to form an inseparable pair, called the macho and hembra (silent h) drum. I’ll let you know what the price range is. Most of these instruments are less than $50, but I will consider an instrument to be inexpensive as less than $100. ![]() You can check out my journey, here on YouTube. I started in 2019, so by the end of the year I will have studied 14 instruments in 14 months! I now have a bit of perspective on what instruments are easy to learn and which ones are not. □įor the year of 2020, I set a goal to learn a different instrument every month, practicing an hour each day. How do I have any say as to what is easy to learn?īy the way, looking for a place to buy inexpensive instruments? Check out for some inspiration-I have listed out in much more detail in this post some ideas, so if you combine both of these resources, you’ll be all set. I’ll be focusing this post, however, on instruments that you can buy new that are inexpensive and easy to learn. Just know that most instruments are within everyone’s reach if you are willing to look at getting it secondhand. I’m going to be talking about brand new instruments-you can probably find old pianos for free or less than $500-or perhaps an old tarnished trumpet at a flea market for $50, but that would widen the discussion too broadly.
