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.

A 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.
