Didgeridoo

The didgeridoo (or didjeridu) is a wind instrument of the Indigenous Australians of northern Australia. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe".

A didgeridoo is usually cylindrical or conical in shape. It can measure 1, 2 or 3 metres in length. Generally, the longer the instrument, the deeper the sound.

It is made from tree trunk of an eucalyptus or PVC (plastic)

It is the world's oldest wind instrument.
