Mouthpiece (Ghamish-reed)
The mouthpiece (Ghamish) is created from a reed which in 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.
In the box:
- Duduk Tenor Studio Pro Tube A 440 Hz, Tenor (Contact us if you need Hz tuning customization)

The creation of duduk is a routine work that lasts more than 2 years. Simple instrument is capable of playing complex tunes. Music of Armenian people tells about the history and the tragedies. Tsiranapogh is a national pride, 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 to date back to 1,200 BC.
The sound of the duduk has become known to wider audiences through its use in popular film soundtracks. Starting with Peter Gabriel’s score for Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ, the duduk’s archaic and mournful sound has been employed in a variety of genres to depict such moods. Djivan Gasparyan played the duduk in Gladiator, Syriana, and Blood Diamond, among others. It was also used extensively in Battlestar Galactica. In the TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender, its computer-altered sound was given to the fictitious Tsungi horn, most notably played by Iroh and often being featured in the show’s soundtrack. With many of the members who worked on ATLA now working on The Dragon Prince, the duduk regularly appears in its soundtrack as well. The sound of the duduk was also used in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe for a lullaby which Mr. Tumnus plays on a fictitious double flute and in the theme song of the Dothraki clan during the TV adaptation Game of Thrones.
The 2010 Eurovision Song Contest entry from Armenia “Apricot Stone”, which finished 7th in the final, featured prominent duduk played by Djivan Gasparyan.

One of the best online music store with great selection of musical instruments with sound preview, wish list, etc. Professional customer service. Highly recommended!
Bari –
Beautiful instrument! I’m already able to make a lovely sound on it. One reed is perfect for me; the other seems too wide open – I’m still trying to figure out how to close it up. My order was held up in New York by “Processing” (Customs?) for quite a while, but that certainly isn’t Karo’s fault. I love my duduk and look forward to more purchases in the future.
Gilles –
Great Duduk, well made and sounds perfect with reverb. The quality is really there. The cases are beautiful too. I appreciated to communicate about the shipment with Karo on Facebook. Thanks.

Superbe Duduk, sonne très bien, surtout avec un peu de réverbe. La qualité est là, jusque dans les étuis qui sont très beaux. J’avais deux ou trois questions sur l’envoi et Karo s’est montrée très disponible sur Facebook pour en discuter.

Hi, I ordered my first duduk 2 weeks ago and I am very impressed. The packaging was great and when I opened the box I was speechless. I just wanted to say thanks for a quality and your fast response.
Olivia Groves –

5 stars in not enough to rate this amazing online shop! It’s unbelievable how supportive they are. I bought 2 Duduks one in C key and one in A. C Duduk sounds just perfect warm and smooth with great tuning but when I played the A Duduk and compared it with my previous A Duduk, I felt it’s a Bb Duduk and not an A Duduk. When I contacted Karo, he explained me that it’s because of the way I played the Duduk and not the Duduk itself but anyway in order to solve the issue, he is sending me another one which is customized according to my needs and I can’t wait to receive it. It looks like a dream to me because in real life it’s not easy to find such professional and supportive people.Dear Karo, thank you and Ethnic Tune so very much you are a great help to all of us musicians. Wish you the best with your great work.

I have been in love with the sound of the Duduk for many years.
Having played the Didgeridoo in Australia I was looking for a professional instrument.
Finding Karo while searching for a Duduk to purchase was fantastic, his information and then service convinced me I had found my supplier it was a no brainer.
His products and service are second to none 10 / 10 Brilliant Quality.
