When a termite hollows the center of this magnificent instrument , hundreds of channels and irregular tunnels are made. This is what alters the sound and makes each one unique. These irregularities give the instrument a full and warm multi-layered sound. Some say this uniqueness represents the spirit of Australia.

The Tambin come in several different keys from E, up to Bb. However, the most common found ones are; F, F#, G, Ab and A. They make a complete diatonic scale, starting from the lowest note of the second register ( the 3rd of the scale) and finally going up to the sixth register of the scale. These flutes are usually constructed from a conical vine found in the forests of Guinea, the largest end is on the side of the embouchure, and tapers down to where the finger holes are. The bore of this flute can vary from 5/8″ to one inch.

The Didgeridoo is played with continuously vibrating lips to produce the drone, while also using a special breathing technique known as circular breathing. This technique requires you to breathe in through your nose while simultaneously expelling stored air out of your mouth using both your tongue and cheeks. When using this technique, a skilled player can replenish the air in their lungs. With practice you can sustain a note for as long as you desire. There are existing recordings of modern players continuously playing for as long as 40 minutes or more. More modern techniques for playing this instrument are starting to show up in performances and lessons world wide.

There have been no reliable answers to the didgeridoos exact age adding a mystical feel to it. A modern didgeridoo is typically conical or cylindrical, and can measure 3 to 10 feet long. Most measure in at about 4 feet long. The longer the instrument the lower the pitch or key of the didgeridoo will be. However, more flared instruments play a much higher pitch opposed to an unflared instrument of the same measurements.
