I've followed the instructions and made a moutpiece for my digeridoo out of beeswax. Sadly this has caused an allergic reaction around my lips - apparently the pollen in beeswax is known to cause this reaction in people who have sensitive skin.
Obviously one solution, not my preferred one, would be to give up the digeridoo. Another would be to remove the mouthpiece and simply play the instrument open ended - this is quite rough though.
What substances could I use as an alternative to beeswax that are likely not to cause this reaction?
Any useful suggestions gratefully received.
