_Slide-didge, in PVC also, you can tune it when you play, really really nice!
_Agave/Pita, with Sandidge method, and digging method.
_How to make a nice mouthpiece.

Enjoy!

And it's sound really nice
So first, we'll cut our first tube of 32mm in 3 parts, a portion of 5 cm, some of 18cm, and part of 20cm. Isolated part of 5cm, it will be for the mouthpiece.
Don't touch the tube of 40mm.
As to the 50mm tube, cut it into 2 parts, a portion of 20 cm and the other 30 cm.
If you have a heat-gun, you can heat the part of 20cm and put in glass-bottle of boiling water, to give this last part has a shape of a bell.
Now, you just have to assemble it all, if some connections are a bit large, put tape on the tube is inserted.
As far as the mouth, you can shape it with beeswax.

I'm lazy SO instead of beeswax (which is expensive) I just used some soft silicon ear plugs (for swimmers ear) that you can find in local drugstores. I molded it and it seems to work just fine. Time will tell if it holds up.

I made one out of a yucca years ago. It wasn't bad but wasn't great either. We used a drain snake on a drill to clean out the inside. Worked pretty quick.
