The didgeridoo (or didjeridu) is a unique wind instrument of the Australian Aborigines of northern Australia. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as an aerophone.
There are no reliable sources stating the didgeridoo's exact age, though
it is commonly claimed to be the world's oldest wind instrument. Archaeological
studies of rock art in northern Australia suggests that the Aboriginal people
of the Kakadu region have been using the didgeridoo since about 1500 years
ago, based on dating of paintings on cave walls and shelters from this period.
