I know that the accepted length of a Yidaki is around 130cm to 150cm with a conical shape and mouth piece around 28 - 30mm.
Hmmm... it depends what you mean by "accepted length". A yi
daki can be any length really, it is the acoustic quality that distinguishes it from a generic didgeridoo and from a mago. Same thing with mouthpiece size. Your 130-150 cm length, and 28-30 mm mouthpiece diameter, might be what is most commonly sought after by buyers, but dimensions outside of this range are of course prevalent.

I want to know how this aplies to Mago is there any guide line on mouth piece without wax or insert, length and shape which defines a mago (Generally that is) I know the bore is generally larger (i would think 100 - 130 cm) and mouthpiece is bigger but reduced with wax.
I think we covered this in another post and I said something like if you're experienced, you'll know a great yi
daki and a great mago when you come across one. It is too difficult to be prescriptive about what constitutes a standout instrument, just like you wouldn't describe a perfect bass guitar or an alto saxophone based solely on dimensions. Having said that, mago are
generally shorter than yi
daki. That's about all I can generalise on. Hope that helps!
