Lizad Dasti is a civil engineer, advanced 3D designer, and master craftsman specializing in the creation of high-precision musical instruments. As an inventor, he has revolutionized the didgeridoo by developing the slide and travel didgeridoo models, offering a full octave range of musical notes—an innovation that expands the expressive capabilities of this ancient instrument.
Beyond didgeridoos, Lizad works with a diverse range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, nitride steel, amber steel, wood, plexiglass, glass, plastic, and epoxy resin, pushing the boundaries of acoustic engineering and instrument fabrication. His wind instruments and Lakota flutes are uniquely crafted, making them one-of-a-kind in their category. He is also one of the few artisans globally who incorporates exceptional and rare woods into his instruments, ensuring unparalleled tonal richness.
In the realm of handspans (hang drums), Lizad employs not only stainless steel but also various steel alloys, including nitride steel, amber steel, and other specialized metals, to craft instruments with exceptional harmonic depth, meditative sustain, and structural integrity. His deep understanding of material science, resonance, and tuning precision enables him to refine every detail—ensuring a warm and immersive playing experience.
Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, Lizad Dasti continues to push the limits of musical instrument design, creating instruments that inspire musicians worldwide.
