didgeridoo
An instrument created by the aboriginal people of Australia It is simply a tree branch hollowed-out by termites One end is treated with beeswax to smooth the edge, and that end of the branch is blown much like a trumpet, employing circular breathing to maintain a steady drone The pitch is fixed, determined by the length of the didgeridoo, although many tonal and melodic variations are possible by over-blowing and adding vocalizations Some players have constructed slide-didgeridoos out of two pieces of PVC pipe, allowing them to alter the pitch by changing the length of the tube Almost any tube can be used as a didg, and players in the American South-West have created "Dream-Pipes" from Saguaro cacti
