How Do You Make A Didgeridoo Out Of PVC Pipe?
A didgeridoo is a simple but fun instrument that you can make out of plastic pipe. • Buy a length of 1-1/2″ PVC pipe from five to six feet long. The length will determine the pitch of your didgeridoo. It’s easier to estimate longer, you can always cut it down. A length of 51.5″ (including the mouthpiece) will tune your didgeridoo to a low C. • Buy a Female-Female 1-1/2″ coupler piece, and a 1-1/2″ to 1″ bushing. This will make the mouthpiece. • Clean the cut edges of the PVC pipe. These tend to send off ribbons and hangnails that will only impede your breathway. A wire brush is ideal for this task, but you can shave off excess PVC with a pocketknife if need be. Assemble your instrument. Place the coupling firmly onto the end of the pipe. Fit the bushing into the coupling. You now have an assembled didgeridoo!
