What are didgeridoos?
The didgeridoo is a musical instrument of the Australian Aborigines. It is a long wooden tube and the air in it vibrates to make a continual throbbing sound. This is used to accompany traditional dances. You can also see Aborigines busking with didgeridoos.
How does the didgeridoo produce sound?
Genuine didgeridoos are always made of wood, usually the smaller trunks of living, young eucalyptus trees. The species of eucalyptus did not matter. They were not usually made from branches. They were not made from dead wood hollowed out by termites - this is a common myth. The Aborigines hollowed out the wood themselves.
What were didgeridoos used for?
The indigenous Australians used didgeridoo for a number of reasons. It is the second oldest instrument in the world (drums are the oldest). One reason for them was spiritual rituals. They were originally made out of eucalyptus, a very dense wood that when blown into properly (like a raspberry) will resonate due to bends in the hollow. The method of continuous play is called "circular breathing". To do this takes practice. The Aborigines used the didgeridoo as musical instruments for corroborees. These corroborees were held for a number of reasons: to retell events of a hunt; for initiation ceremonies; for religious ceremonies telling of the Dreamtime (creation); for entertainment. Didgeridoos, when blown in a particular way, could imitate various Australian animals and birds, particularly the kookaburra, cockatoo, the bounce of the kangaroo and the "drumming" of the emu, for example. This would add highlights to their storytelling. Didgeridoos were also painted a particular way - again, to tell a story or an event through the painting.
