Traditional Yidakis sound and look like their walls are very thin? Are they? and if I sand my eucalyptus didgeridoo down, should it sound more traditional? Thanks, Adam.

No they do not have particularly thin walls (it depends on the crafter, I have a Milk*y with huge walls that weights a ton and which is an awesome trad stick !), and no any transformation on any didj won't turn it into a mandapul...
Only thing you can say is that they have a thin air column in the first third of its length (mouthpiece to 1/3rd) in order to reach the toots easily.
And I'm pretty sure that many NEAL instruments might even contradict this statement...

there are thinned walled instruments not playing well and thick-walled ones singing nicely. I guess it is the combination of all which makes an instrument a good player. So I would say that it is not a rule.
