What kind of beeswax is a didgeridoo mouthpiece made out of?
I have replaced the mouthpiece on my didgeridoo with some normal beeswax but it seems to become too hard or not shape properly or something because it's very hard to play. The wax I replaced it with is more yellow than the original mouthpiece.
I have tried melting it, but it still doesn't play nicely. Is there a special way to treat it? I have already tried with different sized holes.
First, why did you replace the wax? You normally shouldn't need to.
Second, try using a form of paraffin wax, or at least that's what most dig' players I know use. Or you don't even need wax at all. Wikipedia seems to suggest beeswax, but as you found out, its too hard and to get it soft enough would take about an hour of constant playing.
Quoth wikipedia:
Traditional instruments made by Aboriginal craftsmen in Arnhem Land are sometimes fitted with a 'sugarbag' wax mouthpiece. This comes from wild bees and is black in appearance, with a distinctive aroma.
If You Can get your hands on some of that, I would say that would be ideal.
I'm curious as to what kind of beeswax you used - there are many varieties, and most types of natural beeswax harden.
