The Didge's sound is only 6,000 years old and gives the Woodwind section a unique drone sound. It's a very good sound when you get the aboriginal orchestra together. It's very 'clicky'.

I wonder how many different sounds it has in its own?

Technically...I found these guitars are called 3 neck or triple neck guitars.

I can’t see how a 5 or 6 neck guitar can be played and I didn’t see them in the last couple vids playing them much except the first 2 necks mainly. Unless someone came to assist from behind.

This guy plays a triple neck skilfully.
I love this!

So I conclude, anything more than 3 necks is only a fun on stage gimmick. https://youtu.be/jDqshHa3vog

More gimmick. Ditto. But Rick Nielson from Cheap Trick acknowledges that fact. He loves a good gimmick.

I had the pleasure of holding that guitar once (it was in pieces though - couldn't actually play it).

A friend of mine used to play in Steve's band, and he had it in his hotel room during a tour.

They were getting it ready to give away in a competition.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think a guy from Adelaide ended up winning it.

I sure hope it’s treated with respectful reverence it deserves.

That kind of thing when someone wins something unique like that, makes me feel uneasy.
You know... easy come easy go etc.

I reckon it should’ve been auctioned instead... that way its bought by serious collectors...paying a premium and would understand it’s value.

Just my thoughts on it.
