I don't play but someone posted this link a while ago. Make your own PVC didgeridoo

if you can get sound out of a tuba, you can play a didg. untl you get the hang of it, start your lips vibrating (sloppily flopping, really) and place the didg to your lips off to either side. i play off to the left side of my mouth. where you will play yours depends on how the mouth hole was made and wether or not it is sealed with beezwax. tip: only blow your cheeks out when you start an inhale cycle. you have more diverse sounds with them in.

i got blessed with a wicked didg for a present abotu 3 years ago. iron bark eculyptus with a bend in it and it was holowed out by teremites. it usually goes for 3 4 hundred american, but the store jsut opened and it didnt have a price. so my sis got it for 130 bucks and sent it to me.
circular breathing came very easy for me(first weelk). the didge has alot to how easy it is to start. mine has exceptionally good "suck" so its a bit easier. some other ones i have played are nto even close.

Which method did you use to learn to circular breath. I have a PVC didge and I can get the sound fine, but the circular breathing thing is tough for me. I'm sort of able to squeeze water out of my mouth while inhaling through my nose. The stream isn't steady or powerful. But doing it with just air I don't think I can do that at all yet. Any tips for me?

sure.
teh key as u probably know is puffing yoru cheeks full of air and beign able to still play ,try that first. then try to push teh air out of your cheeks when your playing(dont try to breath inyour nose yet) get that down. then try breathing through your nose at teh same time. do this halfway through your breath so its not panicy. just little breaths through yoru nose and take a few of them.
soem people try buzzing into the shower(for resistance) then breath through your nose.
also some didges are alot easier to do this with then others. try ajusting the mouth peice a bit if it causes problems when your cheeks are puffed.
hope that helps. i dunno what else to say just takes practice. i played tuba, french horn. when i was young so i had a little advantage.
peace

I think you just like to play that because it's a long shaft, close to your mouth?
