Technically the instrument is made from eucalyptus branches that have been buried beneath the ground and hollowed out by termites. The branches are then de-earthed, cleaned out, striped of bark (if desired), filled with a wax substance and plugged with a special wax mouthpiece that makes it easier to play as well as more comfortable for the musician.

On average the the wall thickness is 5 to 10 mm, the blowing end is approximately 30mm in internal diameter, and the far end is approximately 50 mm in diameter.
