{{see also|Modern didgeridoo designs}}
Non-traditional didgeridoos can be made from native or non-native hard woods (typically split, hollowed and rejoined), glass, [[fibreglass]], metal, [[agave]], clay, [[resin]], PVC piping and carbon fibre. These typically have an upper inside diameter of around {{convert|3|cm}} down to a bell end of anywhere between {{convert|5|and|20|cm|0}} and have a length corresponding to the desired key. The end of the pipe can be shaped and smoothed to create a comfortable mouthpiece or an added mouthpiece can be made of any shaped and smoothed material such as rubber, a rubber stopper with a hole or beeswax.

[[Modern didgeridoo designs]] are distinct from the traditional Australian [[Aboriginal Australians|Aboriginal]] didgeridoo, and are innovations recognised by [[musicologist]]s.<ref name=Max1>Wade-Matthews, M., Thompson, W., ''The Encyclopedia of Music'', 2011, pp184–185. {{ISBN|0-7607-6243-0}}</ref> Didgeridoo design innovation started in the late 20th century, using non-traditional materials and non-traditional shapes. The practice has sparked, however, a good deal of debate among indigenous practitioners and non-indigenous people about its aesthetic, ethical, and legal issues.<ref>Brian Fitzgerald and Susan Hedge, "Traditional Cultural Expression and the Internet World," in Christoph Antons, ed., ''Traditional Knowledge, Traditional Cultural Expressions, and Intellectual Property Law in the Asia-Pacific Region'' (Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands: 2009), 264–65. {{ISBN|9789041127211}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newsounds.org/story/earth-sounds-didgeridoo-stirs-controversy-bang-can-summer-festival/|title=Earth Sounds: The Didgeridoo Stirs Controversy at the Bang on a Can Summer Festival &#124; Soundcheck &#124; New Sounds|website=Newsounds.org|access-date=21 April 2021}}</ref>
