A didgeridoo is a hollowed out log. How a didgeridoos is made- didgeridoos are made by termites. The termites hollow out the log by eating the inside and it kills the tree. Then people harvest them and make didgeridoos. A didgeridoo is not a wind instrument it is a percussion instrument because you vibrate your lips while you blow air in the inside and by the time it comes out it is a sound. The length of it is how hard it is. for instance if the digredo is short it is harder. If it is longer it is easier to play. They can tune a didgeridoo by cutting it to different lengths. The didgeridoo comes in different tones like D,F# and C.
I learnt how to play it.
Cool!!!! How long was the one that you played? Do they come in different colors? Were you in a store on the picture? How much would it cost to buy one? Tomorrow we go on our field trip.
ReplyDeleteHow many more places are you going to?
The didgeridoo was about 5 feet long. The longer they are the easier they are to play. I played the one that was in the key of D. They one I played was $700. I wish we could buy one. The little cheap ones are $150 but they don't play as well.
