dear shane

thanks for your question concerning that brown stick in the corner of my piano room.

the brown stick is called a didgeridoo, it's an aboriginal wind instrument from australia. my friend gave it to me as a 21st birthday present and i decided to bring it with me when i moved to america.

you put your mouth on it and blow like a trumpet which gives a droning sound. the hard part is not in getting the sound to work but to get a continuous sound, this is achieved by circular breathing.

circular breathing is when you can breath through your nose while breathing out of your mouth at the same time, this is means that you don't have to stop playing to breath. this is not a very easy thing to do, and i don't do it very well. check out this video below to watch a real pro.

hope this answers your question, shane.
