The Didgeridoo is a wind and percussive instrument. A hollow branch cut from the eucalyptus tree that had been bored out by termites is cleaned and sometimes painted with motifs.  Beeswax is added to form a mouthpiece.  The player produces sound by blowing air into the hollow tube while vibrating the lips. 

A good didgeridoo player can imitate the sound of many animals.  The didgeridoo today is played by many people all over the world and has been used to accompany both classical and rock music.  It has a wonderful haunting sound that once heard is never forgotten.

Clap sticks are often used with didgeridoos.  They are two short sticks about 30cm in length and are hit together to form a sound.
