I think it’s 100% a didgeridoo, but one that has been molded into a shape superficially resembling a saxophone.
As a longtime didg player, I can tell you that the thing that makes this absolutely worth every penny is not how light it is, the paint job, etc, but the fact that it can hit so many “hoot” notes (what they call “trumpets”), and that each hoot note is tuned to be in the same scale as the main drone.
Most didgeridoos have only one, or maybe two hoot notes, but I watched some other videos of these things being played, and I’m seeing four or five hoot notes, in addition to the main drone.
At that point, it’s starting to grow beyond the realm of wind percussion instrument, into something that can play melodies.
