It is some sort of a origin aboriginal instrument in the first. But many "ethno" People like its native character and play it all over the world. physics.mtsu.edu/~wmr/didj.htmlwww.top-musical.com/create.php?Category=Didgeridoowww.aboriginalaustralia.com/The didjeridu is a traditional Australian aboriginal instrument that consists of a long cylindrical tube, that is played by "blowing" in a similar way that a trumpet or other brass instrument is played. Didjeridu's are traditionally made of a hollowed out log, although there are a variety of novel, and more modern, materials used to create these instruments. There are lots of relevant sites on the Web dedicated to the history, social/religious significance of the instrument to the aborigines, as well as to descriptions of modern groups that are adapting the instrument to other styles of music. These sites also describe the construction of simple didjeridu's (PVC pipe is an inexpensive and fairly effective means of making a didjeridu) and how to play them. I became interested when Tim Karlik a student in my Physics of Music Course built a didjeridu as a final project let me keep the instrument at the end of the semester. From the physicists perspective the didjeridu is an excellent example of an instrument that depends on the standing waves of a cylindrical tube closed at one end. The simple theory of such a system, often taught in College Physics courses, predicts that the frequency spectrum will consist of only odd harmonics and that the fundamental or first harmonic frequency is related to the length of the hollow tube by the relation V/4L where V is the speed of sound (about 340 m/s) and L is the length of the tube. Mostly it is made from some ants which eat the inner part of eucalyptus trees, from indonesia there are some made of bamboo. Seldom are others made of ceramic, f.e. The Idea is to press air inside and producce some variations of tones and sounds. It´s wierd, really. There exist the idea of some circular breath where you can play a long time without stopping. A Band using Didgeridoo is for example Ballydowse from the USA, where I like the Music, but not their Attitude, ´cause they are Jesus people, some sort of fanatics. Hope to helped You to understand it Flame

There's an Australian band called Didjeridoo Dingoes (not sure which spelling of 'didjeridoo' they use) that features didjeridoos made from plumbing pipes.
Alchemist, an Australian metal band, featured them on their "Austral Alien" album.
And an excellent song called "Two Way Dreamtime" by Australian jazz-type band, d.i.g., has quite good examples.

I play violin since I was eight, guitar since I was 15, and that's all. Unfortunately for my band, I try to play every instrument I see, like bagpipes, flutes, bass and things like that, but I don´t know what happen... everything sounds like crying cats. I think I'm only abled to be a violin player

I also play the e-guitar since 5 years now I guess. I never had lessons so I'm teaching myself through playing songs while they play on CD. I own two 6-strings guitars and since two weeks or so even a 12-string and it's very fun to play it My second "instrument" is my voice I like to use whenever I hear music I like. Many years ago (I guess 6 years or so) I played also the trumpet which was my first instrument. But I hadn't the time to practice every day (you have to if you want to play very well) so I had to stop this, but it's a nice instrument! If you have much free-time and want to learn a instrument you should try The start is hard but after a month or two it's really cool. I participate in a metal-band project as guitarist and vocalist. Perhaps in the far future I will play the instrument that's called "Dudelsack" in German...I don't know what's that in English but I bet if someone could translate everyone knows what I mean But it's very expensive and cruel for the neighbours so this might be an eternal dream for me... Edit: Well I looked it up by myself...it's called "bagpipe"

Damn. Today I nearly had an accident:
While playing my drumstick broke and passed 2 mm beside my head, I was damn lucky! I shouldn't smash that much ;D

Some people consider my voice as an instrument too, I don't sing very often, but if some people accidently here me sing, they tell me I should do something with it.

When I was a kid I learned to play the piano; from there, I played keyboards for a bit with a band, until I figured out that I have way too much stage fright to do that sort of thing. And at this point I'd much rather learn to play the guitar!!! I wonder if knowing the piano would help to learn the guitar? A friend gave me a ukelele, is that a good start...? ;D

Ive been playing electric guitar for only about 2 years now (although I feel I have picked it up pretty well considering), and am going to go to a Berklee Music College workshop in the summer to improve techniques etc. I also play a bit of bass and drums - however these have not really progressed much.
What guitar strings do you guys find best?

My most important instrument is the flute. I've been playing flute for about 9 years and I love it, although I'm a bit lazy when it comes to practising new songs... I play flute in flute lessons, at the school orchestra and a windwood-instruments-ensemble (really don't know how to translate that... 'Bläserensemble' it is in German... But I hope you understand what I mean With the ensemble people I'm going to join the Youth Symphony Orchestra also, but they don't have any regular meetings, the meet only before concerts. Tomorrow I will go to a shop to have a look at some flutes with my teacher, because... I'll get a new flute That's so great ^^ I also play Tin Whistle (d), tenor recorder (which actually isn't mine... I borrowed it some time ago from a music teacher at school, but it seems like she does not remember that I have got her flute... ;D) and shawm (I hope this is the right word for German 'Schalmei'). But since I don't take lessons, I don't practise so much... I also have tried playing guitar, but after half a year I gave up I think I like woodwind instruments more. ^^
