Also, they have to buy a stupidly large and expensive instrument to boot.
First few results on ebay with no filters or sorting shows several for 30-100 $USD. Compact travel didges are under 30 $USD. Full size didges are ~5 ft (150 cm) and not terribly wide. They don’t take up much more room than you would need to store a yardstick.

You could also probably just make a shitty/unique one out of PVC pipe, a handsaw, and a drill bit.
Or maybe even just core out a stick of dried bamboo?

I used ti have one that was a hollow bamboo tube with a beeswax covered top. I have seen pvc used also but the sound is different, which is the case for any material.

At one point, myself and some college buddies rented a townhouse after we all graduated.
In the garage, I stumbled upon a bamboo stick, maybe a bit wider than a thumb, pretty long though.
I held it aloft to examine it… it had a carb and a bowl.
We were the first renters at this place, the couple had moved but decided to rent out to us.
So basically I foubd my landlord’s custom/jerry-rigged bamboo uh, ‘peace pipe’, I think is what we called it.
