An Australian Aboriginal wind instrument in the form of a long wooden tube, traditionally made from a hollow branch, which is blown to produce a deep, resonant sound, varied by rhythmic accents of timbre and volume.

The didgeridoo is an Aboriginal instrument that has traditionally been important in Aboriginal ceremonies. The didgeridoo was mainly part of the Aboriginal culture to tell their stories and to get in touch with the spirit world.

Research has shown that playing the didgeridoo helps treat mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea. Both sleep apnea patients and their partners became less sleepy during the day and had less sleep disturbances at night.

Circular breathing is a breathing technique in which a continuous tone can be obtained on a wind instrument. The first step of the technique is that the oral cavity is filled with as much air as possible by inflating the cheeks.

For people who have hyperventilation, are short of breath, have lung problems, suffer from lung covid, circular breathing and playing the didgeridoo can actually help.

Things like resonance, tone, ease of playing, shape, size and quality are all important. It is important to start on a didgeridoo that is easy to play. This will speed up your learning process and also motivate you to keep going. We recommend starting with a relatively cheap bamboo didgeridoo.

You can easily make a didgeridoo yourself from a PVC tube. Sometimes you don't have to do anything about it and a PVC pipe that you can buy at a hardware store is enough. The ideal length for a homemade didgeridoo is about 130cm. This length gives you a low didgeridoo tone. You can even give the tube a nice shape by heating the PVC tube and bending it to give the didgeridoo a nice branch shape. If necessary, make a beeswax mouthpiece on the didgeridoo and paint the didgeridoo with acrylic paint for a nice end result.
