The didgeridoo is an instrument played by the Aboriginal people of northern Australia, particularly in Arnhem Land. Its use dates back to ancient times and, according to historians, to the Stone Age. It is similar to the alpenhorn or the Tibetan tonggin. It is a wooden horn made mainly from eucalyptus. The mouthpiece is usually covered with beeswax. The outside of the instrument is decorated and painted by the Aboriginal people with their clan's designs or scenes from Aboriginal mythology. 

The didgeridoo is a key instrument in ceremonies. It is accompanied by songs imitating the different cries of animals hunted by the Aboriginals, or the sound of various everyday objects such as the boomerang.
