This exquisite handprinted instrument has never been played but made to play.  It is excellent original condition

In 2002 I was at the NAMM (National Association of Musical Manufactures) trade show in Los Angeles, CA where I met a vendor from Australia selling handmade instruments.  I purchased it not to play but as an art piece that has been with me since.  The tree root is 35" at the base and gradually reduces to 17"-14"-12"-9"- 7" -- before the large mouthpiece diameter of 1 3/4" OD to 1 1/4 ID to a total length or 63" tall.

An original beeswax mouthpiece has melted but nothing else has changed except dust in the bell.  I have had several expert digeradoo makers view the photos and a likeness not seen.  It was viewed to determine if the tree was bored out or natural termite.  Unknown-but positive comments of the quality and design. 

The photos reveal how detailed and intricate the maker was with traditional dots and snake wrapped around it from top to bottom.  
It weights close to 11 pounds and will be wrapped carefully for shipping to be determined.

Whether you intend to play or continue its life as an art piece this is a rare find.  Please inquire if you need more details and how you would like it sent to you.
