It was weird, at first. You kind of play it like a brass instrument... only you let your lips go really loose. It took a few tries to get it, but once you get it, it's fairly simple. It's kind of cool, too. I mean, you can only get one note (and then you can variate it by going "ooohaahooohaah" or something), but the sound is really cool.

It takes so much breath, though. I don't know how those people that play those long, drawn out "oooom"s do it. They must do that circular breathing thing or something.

I think they actually do use circular breathing.

And did you know that females aren't meant to play the digeridoo because it apparently lets bad spirits out or something like that. ^_^
