Mouthpiece (Ghamish)

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 duduk 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.

The creation of tsiranapogh 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.
