My wife and I went for a walk along the river today and heard a haunting sound we couldn't identify. Then we came across this guy sitting by the water playing his didgeridoo.

and its 6 ft long to keep proper distance....

Funny thing about that. As I stopped to take this photo my wife stayed several feet farther away. When I caught up to her she said that thing was probably blowing coronavirus out for 20 feet.

Very nice.  Traditional didgeridoos are made of wood and hollowed out, with a "mouthpiece" made from eucalyptus gum.  The most prized ones are the straightest ones.  This one seems to be constructed from factory be made tubing of some sort, and most certainly is straight.  Clever.  I wonder if the material it's made from sounds discernably different from the traditional instrument.

The sound was much like other didgeridoos I've heard, though perhaps just a bit less resinous. It sounded quite nice. He also had a tambourine which he played simultaneously, although you can't see it in this photo.

Your comment motivated me to look closely at this instrument and I found it online. It telescopes, which explains how he carries it because his bicycle was parked nearby.

I also looked closely at his facial features and I'm fairly convinced he's at least part Aboriginal.
