There's a book called "Circular Breathing" by Trent P. Kynaston that can teach you how to circular breathe if you're interested in buying a book. It's priced at about $10.00 and fairly thin (20 pages) good luck!

Aborigini flutists of Australia and Indian snake flutists use this technique.
It is a very old technique, not a modern one.

I think you mean players of Didgeridoo, which is not a flute, and does not necessarily have to be played by Aboriginals.

I find it far easier on a didgeridoo (or substitute) than on w/wind.
Try the straight section of a vacuum cleaner hose, or a length of similar plastic pipe, or a golf trundler club separater tube.

Bobby Spring can do a lot longer than FotB - listen to him do Moto Perpetuo or Wings (Joan Tower).

Almost all Jazz trumpeters now can do circular breathing.
I know a pro trumpeter who taught his son this technique when he was 5 years old. He acquired this technique in 5 minutes. It may not be so difficult although I cannot.

It is possibly true that the less air an instrument needs the easier it is. Does a trumpet need much? Does anybody circular breath smoothly on baritone sax?

Definitely easier on smaller instruments that use less wind. Very difficult on big horns like bari sax.
