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 vibrates in the didgeridoo?

nothing actually vibrates, the length of it determines the pitch, all the didgeridoo is is a hollow tube that amplifies certain wavelengths of sound produced when you "blow a raspberry" the lower pitches are most often amplified, hence you do not hear the higher sounds, giving the didgeridoo it's tone.

How does a didgeridoo make its sound?

The didgeridoo, like its European cousin, the alpenhorn is considered by musicologists, a member of the brass family of instruments, in which the sound-causing vibrations are made by vibrating the lips. Like many of the trumpet family, a resonant tubular length creates standing waves, and the flare, if any, serves to amplify the sound by matching (somewhat) the impedance of the tube to that of free space. The name didgeridoo is not a name known to the Aboriginal peoples, and is thought to be an European onomatopoeic word describing the sound. Various native tribes have their own separate names for their instruments.
