I am a total newby regarding the duduk, I bought it because I just love the sound and I have loved it since many years ago, in Peter Gabriel 's music for "The last temptation of Crhrist" film, I just did not know that it was a duduk. The wooden pipe is beautifully worked, simple and nice. The reed is an ongoing experience to be learned from: I treat it carefully, I have been monitoring the quality of the sound depending on both "tongues" 's distance... The sound can come out sharp or airy, the breathing must be developed, it is demanding because it offers resistance to the flow. For me, the duduk is an instrument that demands attention and care in a nice way, it is totally different from other wind instruments I have played, and I am sure that with time and practice, I will be able to hear its fantastic melancholic whispers... So far, it is the most cared for wind instrument I have and I just love it.
Bel instrument de confection soignée. Je me réjouis de l'apprivoiser.
Exquisite G Duduk – Deep, Soulful, and Masterful!
I recently received a G duduk from Vamelo in Armenia, and I can honestly say this instrument exceeded my expectations in every way.
The craftsmanship is outstanding. The apricot wood is beautifully selected, evenly grained, and finished with care. The bore feels balanced and precise, and the instrument has a natural weight and presence in the hands — substantial yet comfortable.
The tone of this G duduk is absolutely stunning. It has that deep, velvety warmth that makes the lower register feel almost vocal — rich, prayerful, and haunting. The mid and upper registers remain smooth and focused without thinning out. It carries beautifully while still maintaining that intimate, breath-infused character that makes the duduk so special.
Response is excellent. It speaks easily
