Duduk.com _ Duduk _ Importance in sound

Posted by: Lynx Nov 22 2009, 10:50 AM

Hello there,

I have a duduk from duduk.com which I think is a great instrument. The thing is, it doesn't produce that 'etherial', other-world sound. I was just wondering, what contributes the most in getting that sound:
- reed
- body of the instrument
- embouchure

I noticed that I can get a closer sound with my medium reed. I suspect the hard reed is the one mostly responsible for getting the best sound.

Other than that, would it make any difference if I would buy an OMO duduk after I learn to play well enough?

Thanks

I guess my actual question is: what really makes a difference in sound?

Age of the wood, tuning & the Master who made it
