Solo Duduk is an ancient double reed wind instrument made from aged apricot wood. This wood is traditionally chosen for its soft pleasant feel and rich, warm resonance, perfect for creating mournful timbres and expressive dynamics that subtly mimic a wailing voice. Indigenous to Armenia, the duduk is among the very oldest double reed woodwinds, with earliest instruments made entirely out of bone or cane. It is commonly played in pairs: while the first player performs the melody, the second holds a steady drone called dum. The sound is similar to an English horn, with a large unflattened reed and long cylindrical body.
