It's the type of breathing, tmk, not the sort of instrument (I play a tenor recorder, which no doubt sounds a lot better), it's the type of breathing. With the digeridoo you do something called circular breathing. The other instruments that require this are things with double reeds like the oboe or the bassoon. I guess the digeridoo has gotten attention because buying a PVC one is pretty cheap (I've seen them online for under $30), where even a student oboe will cost you. Second, I think that the low wave tones may be therapeutic, but don't know for sure on that one. (So maybe if you sing baritone?)
It couldn't hurt though it might scare the dog or cat.
