PVC didgeridoos are simple to make. PVC itself seems to be the perfect resonator. Unlike bamboo or some kinds of wood, there are no bumps, nicks or other imperfections to distort the sound. Sometimes when I visit the local Home Depot store, I make a special visit the the Plumbing department and transform a ten-foot long piece of irrigation pipe into a makeshift didgeridoo.
There are two PVC didgeridoos in my collection of musical instruments. I found these didgeridoos at a local music store. A fellow instrument maker had left them for sale. After trying them out, I decided to buy them, with encouragement from the salespeople.
