From "Musical Instruments" by Sibyl Marcuse:

Didjeridoo, straight trumpet of NW Australia, made of a tree trunk
120-150 cm. (4-5 ft.) long, with wax mouthpiece or rim covered with
resin, the end often being inserted into a tin can resonator.

I'm not sure but I believe the use of "trumpet" here implies that
you play it by buzzing your lips as in the trumpet we all know and
possibly love.
