The Duduk: I will play this instrument.





Notice the the wonderfully rustic lathe the gentlemen use to form a new Duduk throughout the course of the song.

Just soul piercing.



THE DUDUK IS A INSTRUMENTAL REPRESENTATION OF ARMENIAN CULTURE, HISTORY, EMOTION, AND MUSIC. IT'S HAUNTING, CALM TONES PORTRAY THE EMOTIONAL PAST AND LORE OF ITS MOTHER COUNTRY.

  1. David,

    I'm left with no words.

    That is undoubtedly the most beautiful wind instrument I've ever heard.

  2. I can't bring myself to stop listening to it. I meant to go to sleep an hour and a half ago, but this music has me literally captured. I've never heard an instrument that can portray so much actual human emotion as this. It's unparalleled.

  4. I love this instrument! Actually joel, I've already got one! It impressed me that much that I got in touch with an Armenian fellow, and purchased one! I've been learning how to play it:) And yes, I did in fact resolve a few things. 1. I was accepted into Andrew's DPT program, you may have already heard/known that. 2. I am no longer in a relationship. sweet with bitter, but both build a stable future that I can embrace, with God.
