   Just a moment there. [Oversimplistic explanation follows] A jug is   
   simply a closed-end didgeridoo (so you have to leave a little space   
   between the opening and your lips). The technique seems to be very   
   similar in terms of the use of the lips to create the vibrations   
   .   
      
   Anybody know of examples of other instruments, from around the world,   
   played in this manner?
