This yirdaki is an old one that has been used by various Yolngu yirdaki players in Arnhem Land. Its entire length has been covered by silver duct tape, hence the nickname I have given it: Silver Bullet!
The way Larry plays this yirdaki is astounding. Wonderful syncopation with simple but effective use of the half-beat.

Manany Gurruwiwi made the instrument played by Dharrapuy in this clip. It is a particularly good example of a yirdaki, very powerful acoustics with a great energy to it.

This is not Dharrapuy's usual style of play, but it does show his versatility. We were having a bit of fun one evening and this is the result of our merriment!
The yirdaki Dharrapuy is playing here is a scorcher F#, suited for fast percussive trad rhythms.
