Born in the early days of Armenian history, the duduk is known as the most "Armenian" of all folk instruments, because of its roots and its ability to represent the spirit of the Armenian people.

Duduk is typically played in pairs: The first player plays the melody, the second plays a drone called 'dam', and the music of the two instruments together produces a more prosperous and more haunting sound.

About duduk mouthpiece (Ghamish-reed) tuned for Duduk Tenor Studio Pro

The mouthpiece (Ghamish) is created from a reed which is a very long process of flattening on the sides into a double reed (ideal distance approx. 1.5 mm) and can be tightened or loosened by means of a wooden clamp. This allows a minimal correction of the pitch range of 1/4 of a note. The reeds are between 7.5 and 11 cm. long and up to about 3 cm wide.

The reeds are available in different strengths (light, medium, and heavy).

A wooden cap is part of the mouthpiece, which can be placed on the upper end of the Ghamish, in order to protect the reeds from damage.

How do masters make duduk instrument?

The creation of tsiranapogh in Armenia is routine work that lasts more than 2 years. A simple instrument is capable of playing complex tunes. The music of the Armenian people tells about the history and the tragedies. Tsiranapogh is a national pride, and value, which has become a card of the country and the people. Opinions differ on exactly how old it is – Western researchers suggest the instrument is about 1,500 years old, but here in Armenia, we believe it date back to 1,200 BC.

Making a duduk is a special and unique skill. It takes years of dedicated training. Artisans choose the wood very carefully. They carve it by hand to create the perfect shape. Each duduk is unique. No two instruments sound exactly the same. This is because they are made with such care and attention. The process of making a duduk is steeped in rich tradition. The skills have been passed down for many generations. This ensures that the art of duduk making stays alive.
