Here's a link to the Duduk I ordered: amzn.to/3jpzP2U
The Duduk is a wonderful Armenian instrument. It's the oldest double-reed instrument in the world... and it's not the easiest thing in the world. When practiced enough, it's one of the most expressive instruments out there (in MY opinion). I've been able to pick out a few melodies, now that I've had it for a couple more days, so I'll be putting another video up at some point when I have a song down! I'm learning the Narnian Lullaby, The Force Theme from Star Wars, and Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter!
Please don't use my experience as an indicator of the quality of this instrument, especially because I've been able to produce some beautiful sounds in the 3 days I've had it... just... not the first time. haha! I got this Duduk on Amazon. The brand is Simon, and it's in the key of A. It came with 3 Duduk reeds, as well as a Clarinet mouthpiece and reed (which I'm more used to... if you couldn't tell haha). There IS an issue with buying Duduks here in the USA, usually... from what I hear, a lot of times sellers will buy toy Duduks in Armenia, and sell them for 50-100 bucks in the US. To my untrained self, this does NOT seem like one of those. It seems pretty quality to me! Not professional quality and I'll probably need better reeds to really make it sound great, but it seems nice to me!
The reeds are interesting!! If they are too open or too closed, they won't make a sound. I also found that one of the reeds sounds fantastic, but I think it's harder than the others, and thus, more difficult to play. The easiest to play is also the one that needs more hemp wrapped around it because right now it keeps coming loose in the Duduk and keeps wanting to fall out. And while it's easier to play, it doesn't sound as nice.
Thank you to my husband, Trevor, for such an awesome birthday present!!

@@TM-rh7zs there are some beginners exercises on youtube.. they can help you to start enjoying the duduk.. they can help you to the intermediate level and play few armenian melodies. I'm nowhere near a pro player but like Mary gamer said it's more about the slowing down the breathing that helps with reducing stress and lowering anxiety... and what's also important is the Armenian melodies that you learn are very emotional and roots you deeply into the present moment! The combination in my opinion calms down the nerves so much.. that's why whenever you may meet a pro duduk player.. he she looks very calm and talk so slowly! I do believe that all instruments related to breathing have a very calming effect but nothing like the duduk. Like I said it's the melodies that are very emotional.. hope this helps you out!

Niсе trу But if you wanna play an armenian instrument you have to play it like armenian 1 relax your fingers DO NOT let em go far away from your instrument and you will be more flexible 2 blow out your cheeks as much as you able to(I know that looks weird but that’s really important) That will relax your lips naturally and make your sound wider and way more emotional Also I’ll recommend you to listen to Vache Hovsepyan He is officially “The King of the Duduk

Thank you so much! I'm new to it (haven't played as much as I'd like after this video was made) but your suggestions help a lot! I did start playing with air in my cheeks after getting a book on how to play, although I think I'm pushing too hard, as I get a pain in my jaw near my ear sometimes and have to stop playing. I come from a clarinet background ... sortof .. it was my first instrument, anyway. I always had issues with taking my fingers too far away from the instrument, even with the clarinet. But I assumed I needed to play duduk more like a clarinet when I first got it (no air in the cheeks, tighter embouchure). Anyway! Thanks for your comment! I really should get back into playing it!! It's so beautiful! ❤️

Thanks for the tips! I am not any kind of reed player at all, unless a bit of harmonica counts. I just randomly bought a duduk at a liquidation sale, so I’m going to give it a try. I am guessing it’s going to be at least as challenging as the end-blown shakuhachi I bought decades ago. Nearly passed out trying to get a sound out of that thing at first.

The Duduk impressed me when I watched Yanni quite a few years ago with Pedro Eustache playing Nostalgia. I am also training myself to sing Arabian Melismatic vocals. You did very well. I hear it's painful for a couple of weeks. Still....I'm gonna ace this instrument!! Just something different to do. I'll do an unboxing too!! Love from Auntie in Los Angeles 🌸🌸🌸🤗🤸‍♂️

Thanks for the video! I got mine a couple of days ago. I started to get the notes, but I wonder, is it normal if I get a really airy sound?
@MaryHamerMusic
@MaryHamerMusic Жыл бұрын
hmmm... not sure. I don't think it should be airy. I think one of mine was airy, and I had to get a different reed to fix the issue. Did you soak your reed? If so, do this instead (from duduk.com): "it may be necessary to actually wet the reed in order to open it up. If the reed is dry (because it’s new or hasn’t been played in a while), then you will need to run a little water into the inside and while closing the circular end with your thumb, shake the water to coat the inside of the reed and either blow it out the closed side or tip it over and dump the water out. Next, making sure you have the closing cap on, stand the reed upright and wait a few minutes until it opens slightly on it’s own. The trick here is to lightly coat the inside with moisture, so that the reed can just be coaxed to open. If the reed is too wet, it will open too much and the pitch will move around a lot when you play."

The actual instrument looks a lot like a quena (andean flute). Sound similar too, but with the reeds it's a little buzzier. The second reed you used sounded like a crumhorn. I'd never seen one of these before. Thanks for sharing. Have fun with it.

@datumdleal3748
@datumdleal3748 5 жыл бұрын
The quena and the duduk don't look anything alike, and sound even less alike. Being a fipple-less, notched flute, the quena is more similar to the Korean danso, the Chinese xiao, and the Japanese shakuhachi. The danso sounds closer to the quena, while the xiao and shakuhachi sound less like it and more like each other. The Indian bansuri, even though it is a traverse flute, sounds closest to the quena. I play about a dozen different Andean wind instruments, plus a few others from around the world, including the duduk, shakuhachi, Lakota flute, and didgeridoo.

Yes, definitely I would buy it again. Although, I don't play it as much as I want to/should to get good. I have TMJ and sometimes the pressure from playing doesn't feel good, but only after I haven't played in awhile. I want to start practicing for smaller amounts of time every day, so that I can get better and build up the muscles required for playing. But no, I don't think it would be harder because you're a woman. You just have to work on proper breath support, like everyone does when starting any wind instrument. If you get a Duduk, I'd suggest looking up how-tos on it, and also how to have good breath support. They also have a how to book on Amazon. Let me know if you'd like the link! =)

When you are blowing you are not doing it correctly - your cheeks have to have air and be puffy but Armenian duduk is not easy to play, it's very difficult and I think you need strong cheeks

Yeah I found that out after I got it haha! Used to playing Clarinet, which is very different. I haven't kept it up, sadly, because it was hurting my jaw when I would puff out my cheeks. But I think I just need to start with smaller amounts of time, and then work my way up so I can play longer.

@@MaryHamerMusic I know haha I am Armenian, I started from a flute, then clarinet, then duduk - which I suck at and kinda don't really like but yeah it can be your reeds are bad, there are easy/medium/hard one's, easy is actually just slighty harder than a clarinet reed, but the sound is not so deep and mysterious Also for the regulator thingy on the reed, that wood thing, you have to close the opening a bit to make it easier/in tune, for watering it, don't need to do it from inside, I just put the tip in a water - but be carefull not to open it up too much - check every now and then

@@MaryHamerMusic I feel you, same here...I haven't played in 10-11 years, I'm just starting to get back to it, but as a hobby Duduk definitely takes time, it's a very easy instrument to pick up, but is very tough to actually get the mysterious, sad tones - you need strong cheeks, jaw to vibrate it cuz that's the whole secret thingy in creating it Search up Dle Yaman, it's a very easy tune/song to start with

Your lack of respect for newcomers of an instrument is disgusting and is quite frankly disruptive to the foundation of creativity and you have done a disservice to the musical world. Your musical talent is questionable and you have no room to speak here. As a musician, I do not claim you, and I am sure that most would agree. You awful human being
