I am very happy with this book and the accompanying materials. My first attempts to learn this hauntingly beautiful instrument were met with confusion when I attempted to learn through another book, “Armenian Duduk Method” by G. Minasyan. But “Duduk Essentials” seems to perfectly compliment my other books by explaining some of the important details that were missing in the other materials. Now I am beginning to understand how to play beautiful music with my duduk.
This Duduk reed is definitely a level up from the standard medium duduk reeds and is well crafted. It has a lovely sensitive response immediately out of the box - without any special preparations to moisten it.
Nice book, fast shipping and communication.
I was very excited to receive that book that seemed to fill full all l’y expectations.
Unfortunately, the Book arrived strongly damaged by transport and in very poor condition.
Beside I had to pay 23€ more as an import tax into UE. That was mentioned nowhere when I bought that very expensive book (80€ in total !).
I sent an email with pictures of both Package and damaged book.
The editor replied quite promptly and proposed an agreement that Ive decided to accept.
So my evaluation is the average between what I got (1star) and the reaction to my claim that was 100% heard (5 stars).
The editor faced its responsibility. Thanks for that!
This duduk is authentic, well-crafted and very much worth the purchase. I has negative experiences shopping for a duduk online until I came to the Duduk House and this N. Mkrtchyan Duduk in A.
