Didgeridoo PVC Case

Didgeridoo PVC Case
I recently got a didgeridoo and wanted a way to bring it places. Instead of buying an expensive padded bag, I decided to make a PVC case. Not only was it less expensive, but it provides better protection, too. This case would be perfect for bringing your didge onto an airplane, if you so desired. The only downside is that you can only fit a didgeridoo in if it has a flare less than 4" in diameter (unless you can find larger pvc) and it can't be too curved (like often found in a eucalyptus didgeridoo). Check if your didge will fit by laying it on the floor (it will naturally lie so that you can see the widest parts) and mark the edges. If the farthest points on the left and right are 4" or less apart, then yours will work!

Step 1Materials

  • PVC length to fit your didge
  • PVC end cap
  • PVC screw on cap (I had to use a coupling too, because they were out of the right size...that's why my pictures will have an extra piece)
  • Painters Sponges (Anything soft and thick will work)
  • Two dog collars to fit your PVC
  • Strap from a duffel bag
  • Super Glue (I used everybody's favorite Gorilla)
  • PVC glue (optional)
  • Spray paint (optional)

Very good idea. Cheaper than a cloth case, more durable and it affords greater protection. Awesome!!
