The Didgeridoo produces a continuous drone sound by vibrating the lips and using circular breathing, a technique where the player inhales through the nose while pushing stored air out through the mouth using the tongue and cheeks, allowing skilled players to sustain notes for long periods with practice. A 2005 study published in the British Medical Journal found that learning and practicing the didgeridoo may help reduce snoring and sleep apnea by strengthening upper airway muscles once circular breathing is mastered. This pocket didgeridoo produces a lovely tone and is handmade, fair trade, eco-friendly, and fun, making it a portable instrument and a great gift for musicians.
