Here you can see a short video that covers a wide variety of shapes and sounds describing this instrument. I heard a few interesting performances during the Israeli didgeridoo festival, but regrettably haven't got any recorded. For those interested in what the lady says (English translation), it's in the info column of this video on YouTube (press "more info").
