Thought it was interesting. Probably not going to be an FAA-Approved sleep apnea treatment anytime soon, though. :)

I would take a wild guess that playing any instrument that requires large volume of air would produce the same result. I know that for the many years I was playing winds (clarinet, sax, oboe) my lung capacity & overall stmina was much better than it is now.

Oh yes, and I have a digideroo - sort of obligatory to buy one with in Oz. Never have been able to play it tho.
 
Circular breathing is hard. I played woodwinds as well and like murphy have lost some lung capacity since stopping in spite of continuing to play several sports.

I built up some serious lung capacity when I was young playing the bassoon. I know what you mean.

And, yes, we have a didgeridoo in the living room, too. 1st trip to Oz in 2007. I'll have to find something else to bring home from Perth next month.
