Located in Sydney, Australia. Grappling variously with whistle, pipes, low whistle, flute - as the weather permits! (Playing uilleann pipes in 40 degree heat isn't such a great idea. Reeds and players both tend to pack it in around the same time.)
Someone doing a PhD thesis here not so long ago found that the word 'didgeridoo' was one of the very few Australian Aboriginal words which couldn't actually be found in any of the native dialects themselves. Suggestion was that the word seems to be an import from the Irish language! Seems duijera dubh might have been a reference to the player, not the pipe, by some of the earliest Irish-speaking immigrants, and the name stuck, and been Anglo Australianized as didgeridoo. D'nno, but it's a bloody good session story.
