Hi Visitor,......snipped
I It is not about strengthening the muscles, it is more about 'tone'. A muscle that is used for stability can still be in a state of partial contraction when a person is totally relaxed. A younger muscle retains it's tone more readily than an old one.

It is not always muscles blocking your airway.
Lots of tissue types sag with time.
Didgeridoo is mostly wishful thinking.
The player wishes that blowing the hollow stick will do the trick.
Everybody within earshot wishes they would just STOP.

Hi Chunkyfrog,
Classic didgeridoo playing quite often included animal sounds imitation.
Maybe this will help you appreciate the didgeridoo more.
It is called Frog Dreaming and is played by one of the best classical didgeridoo players.

Maybe just get a cat, step on its tail, save a Didgeridoo plant. Even your neighbors will even clap, for the cat's music... Jim
