Lesson one : make yourself a cup of coffee 😁

[@Skyflying59]

No first make Tatik a cup of coffee

[@gavidan6434]

Lol watching this while drinking my coffe

[@DSlyde]

I discovered the duduk through its use in the Avatar the Last Airbender score rather than through any personal or cultural connection, and I just have to say your tutorials are both beautifully produced and clear for someone without any of that context. Easily earned a like and a comment. Thank you.

[@Aaron-xr9sh]

The « spring » background from Komitas in the introductory is done beautifully.

[@johnkuo3614]

Thank you so much, This video is really usefull, I bought a DUDUK from Armenia and dont know who to play until see this video.

[@SamueleZara]

The Duduk instrument was calling me for a while when finally months ago I took the decision to undertake the marvellous and enlightening journey of studying this wonderful instrument. I looked online and I found Canberk's videos. His way of speaking, and teaching, the way he conveys the knowledge embedded with a deep sense of respect and spirituality for music and for the Duduk itself inspired me deeply. He truly transmits everything beautiful and profound about the Duduk and its ancient traditions. I've asked him for advice through email, about which instrument should I have bought and other advice, and he has always been supportive, guiding me unconditionally even before starting my study. This is the kind of attitude that is the distinction of every great master and great human being. Now that I have my first Duduk, thanks even to him, I'm deeply grateful for his support and the profound love for Art and Music that he's capable to convey. I truly recommend him to everyone who wants to study Duduk. 🙏

Dear Samuele, Thank you for your kind words! I am really happy to hear that to meet you! All the best!

[@DSben77]

As a sound engineer I love watching your video, thanks a lot it helps understanding these lovely instruments which became one of my favorite ever. I 'd love to touch one, someday.

[@americanarmenian8182]

You’re the best! Thank you for teaching us about the wonderful Armenian duduk!!

[@federicosieli5099]

Thank you so much for your generosity in giving free lessons of this marvelous instrument ❤

[@carlesportella3582]

The best teacher with the best love

Hugs to my great student!

[@chaimsimpson3836]

I live in Bulgaria, not too far from Turkey. I can't remember exactly how I came to hear Duduk music firstly but I found a great fondness in hearing it. I like often to listen to Duduk music but now I feel it's the right time to learn to play it myself. The time and place is right and the spirit is right. I used to play guitar, badly, but the thought of creating music on the Duduk of my own thoughts feels nice.

[@lusin23]

Armenian duduk melody 🤌🏻🇦🇲🇦🇲 it's magical ❤️‍🔥✨

[@latinoenturquia8486]

I listed May / Duduk 2 weeks ago, and since then, I have been creazy for having 1 in my hands to start playing

[@yosoysoloyo4024]

My wife brought me this beautiful instrument from her last trip to Russia. I am thankful for her thoughtfulness, and I truly appreciate your channel.

[@uncut119]

I have just orderd my first Duduk, i have never played an instrument before, I was called by the duduk, it speaks to my soul. I would love online training good sir, love and light from australia

[@77MyEsha]

I am a Native American flute player, and have only recently discovered the Duduk. I suspect it is a great deal harder to play than the NAF, but I am seriously considering getting one, as I love the sound so much! your videos have sparked my interest even more, so thank you for these.

[@elieli2717]

I also play the NAF and am looking at getting a Duduk did you ever get your hands one?

[@almanac520]

buy a good one ($200+) with good reeds

[@brianphillips1864]

Well chummer...I have LOVED that whistle ya'all play since I heard it on a Peter Gabriel joint but figured I'd never have an info source. Good to be wrong. Time to get me an Armenian love whistle. Yee haw.

[@gor_68]

The first song on the background is Komitas - Garun e (it’s spring). Komitas was a Turkey-born Armenian. Amazing Artist!

[@paweyow]

I've had this instrument for a long time, but I got discouraged because I made the mistake of trying to discover this instrument on my own. Watching your videos, I realized that I was missing the very simple things, the basics... thank you a thousand times over for giving me back the desire to play this instrument...

[@alyamini111]

Hello from Iran ,Im living in China and I can play the piano ,electric guitar ,clarinet,Saxophone and a bit of drum ,these years because Im far away from my motherland Im more into our culture ,the Duduk or Balaban is one of the Important instruments in Azeri ,Armenian ,Turkish ,Kurdish and it’s very deeply linked to our culture and I provide one and I tried to play and I could play the scale and a simple melody that I heard but it was just a very basic ,Im happy to see you ,thank you ,hope I can learn something here

[@eahp13]

I feel like I've finally found my duduk master. But also to a great soul friend. Thank you!

[@elcesar999]

[@alannunez]

These videos are great! I’m an elementary school music teacher and our students are learning about Armenian vocal music. I bought an inexpensive duduk so that I could show them this beautiful instrument and play a little. Thanks for being a great instructor.

[@Artary]

I just got my first Duduk yesterday, thank you for your videos and for helping us get an understanding of how to care for and play this beautiful instrument.

[@matteotambussi]

I first met duduk sound in "Jenny Wren" by P. McCartney. Love at first... ear. During the lockdown, I used to put on these 4hours long duduk meditation sound videos to calm nerves. eventually I bought one and practicing it. thanks for the tips Ulaş!

[@nickthorne5872]

This is a beautiful tutorial. I'm excited to finish it, and I don't even have a Duduk. Very well done, on all points. I love the way you speak. I want to buy a Duduk soon hopefully. Subscribed.

Thank you, Nick! Be careful when you choose the duduk. Research the brand or the maker or write an email to [e-mail] for my recommendation.

[@NELSONEDGARDOAUGUSTOSORIA]

Hola! Soy de Argentina. Estoy muy ansioso de aprender a tocar este instrumento que en unas semanas me estaría llegando... Compré un Duduk en la tonalidad de A original de Armenia.

[@nickpatten5263]

Brilliant. Clearly presented and very informative. I have recently purchesed a Duduk and learnt more in this video than I had so far elsewhere. Thank you Canberk Ulas.

[@outlier1417]

Mr. Ulas, you are amazing. I am in awe of everything about you. This video has pulled me out of a very bad day. I can't wait to watch more and hopefully learn more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and culture. Thank you so much.

Thank you! I am happy to hear that this video pulled you out of a bad day.

[@thephoenixrising11]

I just received my duduk this evening after a long wait! Now I find you! I can feel your.warmth and kindness, thank you xo

[@azaharadesumatra9650]

[@thephoenixrising11]

I bought it through amazon, seller was Handcraftoria but they are out of stock now. This one is the same www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M08RVB7/ref=dp_prsubs_2

[@kevintheblacksmith]

I really love the sound of the Duduk . I want to learn to play one soon

Maşallah kardeşim yolun bahtın açık olsun inşallah

[@allenquartermane6134]

Hey there, greetings from the deep south here in the states. I just got my Duduk, and soooo glad you are here to help me out with it. I do play the Irish tin whistle, but found this to be so haunting in sound and my love of your music has brought me here! I am of gypsy blood line and maybe thats why I am so drawn to it and have been for many years. I play 12 instruments and write instrumental music by ear as well as record various instruments for artists here and in other parts of the world. I can't wait to go through all your videos. Once again thank you so much.

[@beatusqui]

I plan to learn the duduk and have played tin whistle for 44 years. Will playing the tin whistle make the duduk easier to learn?

[@allenquartermane6134]

@@beatusqui I also play tin whistle and I found the Duduk more of a challenge, but if you stick with it it's great instrument!

[@beatusqui]

@@allenquartermane6134 Thanks!

[@izabeera166]

[@karlarno4254]

Hi Canberk, coming from saxophone and clarinet I discovered duduk with the help of your great videos, and a couple of others’. Keep up the good work!!

[@zanroda7358]

Your English is excellent! Thank you for your careful pronunciation and thank you for sharing the beautiful Dudu with the world.

[@KulshanStudios]

Looks like I don't have a reason not to get out the duduk I picked up in Yerevan and start learning to play it properly! ...although I think it may need a new reed...

[@wisedragon3684]

Love the exactment of your instruction! Easy to follow. Thank you

[@alessandrajouberteix4663]

I am feel so enthusiastic about your lessons! Thank you. I have a duduk (not 100% sure.. mine has 8 holes on the top and 2 holes at the bottom) yet I do not have the reed and not sure where to buy it or what type. I will continue watching, maybe you talk about it in one of your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@172_]

[@sthlmss]

[@duandelamata9762]

Amazing duduk player and amazing person ! respect maestro ! 😇😇

Thank you, my friend! Greetings!

[@justroll]

You are loved

[@danmusiceasy]

Great lesson! You're the first person I ever heard mention that the reed has a slope! And I think this just helped me solve my tuning problems. I got my Duduk about 6 months ago I think, and I was never able to get it to sound in tune constantly. I tried for about 40 minutes a day many days with no results. I asked the maker, I asked on forums, but they all said to add more thread or adjust the lip pressure, nobody mentionned the reed slope and the direction of the regulator, so thank you!

Hi Dan! I am happy it helped!

[@thomasenchispas1759]

Thank you su much for the lesson and also for your energy, really appreciate it !

[@sepsax]
