Didgeridoo - a sound like nothing I heard
Didgeridoo wooden instrument with a very special affect on me
The Didgeridoo has been played for thousands of years by the Australian aborigines.
The sound they can make, imitate the surrounding animals. You can, for example, hear the cocaburra bird clearly.
When the blowing starts, I shiver and stop thinking about anything else. This is on the borderline of magic for me.

The aboriginal didgeridoo (didjeridu, dijeridu, yidaki) is a long, wooden, or bamboo wind instrument used traditionally by the aboriginal people of Northern Australia. Rock paintings on caves have established that the didgeridoo has been used as a musical instrument for at least 20,000 years. These cut into varying lengths produce instruments with different pitches. The mouthpiece is made of beeswax.
The haunting tones of the didgeridoo are created by the vibrating of the player's lips. Since every Didgeridoo has its own unique shape, no two sound exactly alike. The didgeridoo is unique in the world of music in its use of a technique called circular breathing.

For an advanced technique try switching from droning to a quick hornblast and back to droning in your didgeridoo rhythms.
