We set out to analyze the sound produced by a didgeridoo when played by an experienced didgeridoo player (Bryant), a woodwind player without didgeridoo experience (Matthew), and a piano player without any wind instrument experience (Anna). We found that Bryant produced two distinct frequencies one one fluctuated slightly around 293Hz (the musical note D) and the other around 349Hz (the musical note f). Bryant was able to produce a nearly constant frequency on the didgeridoo because he was able to maintain constant airflow and steady embouchure due to his expertise. Matthew's frequency fluctuated in between the range of 261Hz up to 329Hz (between the musical notes C and E). His frequency fluctuated greatly and he was not able to make the instrument resonate distinctly at its fundamental frequency. Lastly, we were not able to obtain a measurement for Anna's frequency because the sound frequency fluctuated too greatly; this is probably due to her lack of wind instrument training with the didgeridoo. Here are results:
