The didjeridu, also spelled didgeridoo, originated in Australia and has been used there by the aboriginal people for thousands of years. Traditional didjeridus are made of a tree branch that has been hollowed by termites. These non-traditional didjeridu-style instruments are made from ceramic stoneware clay. They are very durable and 100% waterproof. The exterior designs and decorations are fired ceramic slips, engobes and glazes.
