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.

In modern times, didgeridoos purely for tourists or "white men" may be made from other materials, but the sound does not resonate as well.

∙ 12y agoA few times my school has had excursions or visitors about aboriginal culture. A few times we learned about didgeridoos.
It is pretty simple, but very challenging, trust me I tried;)
You know how young kids (and some older people who have trouble finding entertainment;) pretend to be a horse and blow (well, spit is a better description really) and how their lips go all over the place? I'm sorry I'm not very good at explaining something, hopefully you get my drift;) Well, you just do that into the didgeridoo. The sound waves vibrate around inside the didgeridoo and there you go, you get sound!
Sorry 'bout my not so good explaining, I hope you understand:)

Traditional Aborigines did not make didgeridoos from dead wood hollowed out by termites - this is a common myth. The Aborigines hollowed out the wood themselves.
Modern didgeridoos are made from a variety of modern materials, from fibreglass to plastic.

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.
