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.
