\nUsed in Aborigina l ceremonial performances to share stories and pass on traditions\, the di dgeridoo\, or "Yirdaki\," is a wind instrument made from termite-hollowed eucalyptus branches or seedlings. Like brass instruments\, didgeridoos are played using the vibration of your lips to produce the sound. Various tec hniques are used to create sounds and rhythms including the circular breat hing technique which allows the player to breathe in through their nose wh ile exhaling out the mouth\, keeping the sound going without interruption for a breath.
