Description
Image is a Pearl Street Mall entertainer player the didgeridoo. The didgeridoo is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia around 1,500 years ago and is still in widespread use today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as a brass aerophone. A modern didgeridoo is usually cylindrical or conical, and can measure anywhere from 3 to 10 feet long. Most are around 4 feet long. Generally, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch or key of the instrument. However, flared instruments play a higher pitch than unflared instruments of the same length.
The Pearl Street Mall, in Downtown Boulder, Colorado, is a popular place to spend the day, whether you are a tourist, UC student, or local. The most well-known pedestrian mall in the world, CBS Sunday Morning called Pearl Street Mall the happiest place in the United States. Diverse entertainers, shops and restaurants abound in this area, attracting young and old.
