Stories from those who play

Second NZ lock down, a didgeridoo was in the house, I took the opportunity. A few after, it was clear that I want to own one, and it needs to match my handpan. I got Auburn contact, he was working on a prototype, that ended up being the right tune. The journey started. I am sound healer, performing in festival and touring arround Aotearoa. This didgeridoo is amazing, Auburn has always been reliable and supportive, even if he is always busy ! I recommend his work

We have purchased 4 African Drums from Auburn, the 3 in this picture and a massive HUGE African drum plus a Didgeridoo. The beauty of Auburns instruments is the craftsmanship, care and sound of all that he makes. All our instruments acquired from Auburn are legacy instruments that will be passed down generations. Engage with Auburn knowing you are dealing with the real deal - an honest craftsman who deeply believes in what he’s does and we connect with this and him every time we play our instruments.

I first learned the flute at age 12 with classical lessons and have played it on and off since then in various bands and duos. I also collected a few and had about a dozen when I came across Auburn's stand, so the last thing I needed was another one. As soon as I played it though I was hooked- warm, pure tones, the sound of forest and wilderness. Bought it on the spot. You can hear it in action on our song 'Wanderer' on Spotify ( see link).
