	The Didgeridu is traditionally made from termite hollowed eucalyptus branches or large bamboo. The use of clay to make these ancient instruments allows for many interesting and creative forms. It is played by buzzing the lips much like you would do with a tuba, and altering the pitch, tone and internal harmonics with the shape of the mouth. A technique known as circular breathing is achieved by breathing quickly through the nose while squeezing the air from the cheeks to continue the tone.
