People have asked me before if didgeridoos can play different tones. Well, I guess they can if you consider the hoots as a different tone. In fact if you're a brass player you may be able to get several tones by tightening your lips more when you blow. But that's not how you play the didge anyway. They are essentially monotone instruments - until now.
Introducing the Didj Flute!
Created by Marko Johnson, these modified didgeridoos have tone holes! Well, actually they are Didjboxes (also his creations) with tone holes. Didjboxes are compact didgeridoos (I have no idea how he makes them to have that low pitch at such a size. Maybe he winds the air column inside the box).
Anyway, so as to not keep you waiting, here's the link:
