As for many instrumentalists, didgeridoo players seem to rate the quality of the instrument according to the tonal qualities and the playing properties. Our study is carried out in a preliminary and prospective way on a serie of eight instruments chosen by the players, in a corpus of around fifty instruments, for their diversity of qualities and geometries. The study includes an experimental procedure (tests with two players, joint authors of this study) and a geometrical and physical analysis of the instruments and emitted sounds. Some first correlations between the geometrical and physical properties of the same instrument, the nature of the emitted sound and the quality perceived by the players will be presented or proposed.
