If you can inhale through the nose while exhaling through the mouth, continually making a fart noise by vibrating your lips you can play the dig

The trick is maintaining the sound without perceptibly taking a breath.....I believe the current world record for this breathing technique is held by Kenny G.

From Wikipedia

In 1997, Kenny G earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone. Kenny G held an E-flat for forty five minutes and 12 seconds in the Hopkins-Bright Auditorium at D&R Music World in New York City.

Perhaps you should go for a new record.....

The trick is using the air in your mouth to continue the "sound" whilst drawing a new breath, thus making a continuous sound without any discernible break.

If you can play a "brass wind" instrument, you stand a good chance of being able to play a didgeridoo. The breathing is the hardest part.

The technique is called circular breathing. It is almost as hard as trying to get sound out of a Putatara (an indigenous Maori instrument in New Zealand).

Which was also the most interesting thing that Kenny G has ever played.
