Subject: RE: Traditional Irish Didgeridoo
Sounds pretty bats; presumably the long horns were used in virtually all early societies.
The bodhrán was originally an implement called in English a dildurn, used for winnowing grain; again, it seems logical to imagine that it would have been used as a tabor by many widely separated groups. (The Irish word comes from bodhar - deaf.)
