DUDUK

Duduk is a traditional Armenian musical instrument. At first duduk was made of cane, but later in the Middle Ages Armenian masters made it from apricot tree wood.

Since 1920 Vartan Buni develops duduk. Several decades ago Master Karlen Matevosyan gave duduk a new special form and made 10 types of duduks of different sizes, tuning and tonality, which are spread not only in Armenia but abroad as well nowadays.

Duduk is an old double reed instrument of special type. Its tone range is half an octave.
