Solo Duduk - Tomaso Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor

[@TheAnhedonicOne]

Instruments like these make me wonder why they haven't become staples across the world.

[@lindor4life549]

i put my duduk reed in a box near my oboe reeds (that were sealed) and it somehow got soot in all of the reeds, making them taste bad and harder to play. also, in traditional bands, you dont see the key of A often in sheet music because bands today dont commonly use them.

[@mastersloseymusic3928]

Probably because reed instruments can be a pain in the ass when making the reeds.

[@yorganyog]

​@@lindor4life549lesson Number One: never put Reed and body of duduk in a box without contact with air. They Decay. This are sensitive instruments and pieces. They have their own ecosystem. Same happens with bagpipes.

[@yorganyog]

Because, unlike elextric guitars, you cannot make cheap and mass production of this. You cannot play well, with good sound, a bad bagpipe. Reeds are very sensitive, and Building this requires craftmanship to make it right with the right details.

[@TribunalGames]

Actually the Duduk is the most overused instrument in orientalist music to the point that it's funny. You hear this instrument in nearly every movie or game with a desert setting. It is very much a staple accross the world.

[@electroniceyes1408]

this will stop the violence

[@Иван-е7ф2х]

Шикарное звучание одного из величайших изобретений Армении. Дудук это голос неба, солнца, тумана в теплый летний день, окутавшего горы. Звук винограда в росе, звук костра,звук любви.

[@SanyT74]

я бы сказал, дудук - это звук вечности...

[@aramehyeghikian4705]

Duduk resonates the soul!🇦🇲

[@noahkealoha]

I don't get chills from music too often. The duduk is the most enchanting instrument I've ever heard. Thank you for playing this and so beautifully at that

[@PrairieLands702]

I just bought one of these as a history buff and watched your vids on how to play, my kids are MESMERIZED by its sound! I play it every night in our garage and it helps them at night for bed! Thank you for showing us this and teaching us on how to play it!!!

[@harryagrotis326]

Duduk is definitely an instrument that deserves much more respect and admiration as well as use and exposure. I doubt many people know about it

[@siyotanka4you]

one of the most beautiful sad songs ever - played on one of the most melancholy instruments in the world - heartbreaking😰👍

[@LesAstin]

I am a sound technician. I am learning to play Duduk.The sound of the Duduk is beautiful. The sound you’re hearing now is sweeter and deeper because of the effects. I do not hear any layering on this recording. Just a very long reverb and very light delay.

[@yorganyog]

And its enough. Very good indeed

[@B4th0ry]

I see the Duduk as an instrument played at emotional events, I’m Assyrian so for me whenever I hear the duduk I imagine Jesus being taken up Golgatha to be Crucified but only when played in Adagio as you so greatfully demonstrated

[@markfilippone3845]

GOD bless and keep you, my Brother. We thank you for this Heavenly video.

[@saradeirmendjian6741]

Soy armenia y quería agradecer este hermoso momento de escuchar el duduc ❤️🙏👏

[@Age2003]

I'd love to see more lessons. More importantly I've love to see a video about the instrument itself and what to look for when buying one. This video is superb by the way. Such a fantastic sound. Thank you Canberk!

Thank you! Sorry for the delay. I will continue to make lesson videos as soon as possible! Stay tuned!

[@Yanto-Bardic]

The sound is truly mesmerising and you play beautifully. "Thank-You" Can you recommend somewhere in the UK to purchase one and what might be the key for a beginner? .

[@schrumpfkopf4393]

❤ Beginn des wunderbaren Instrument für uns Menschen

[@G-raverobber]

i just LOVE the soft and distant yet somehow powerful sound that this instrument makes

[@martinossofos1290]

Your sound is out of this world Sir! I'm learning the Duduk at some point. It's in my to do list. Keep those videos coming!

[@sockneman]

I’m in Heaven!

Welcome :)

[@olhardesperto6346]

So beautiful...fantastic playing and great lessons by the way - love from Brazil

[@callsigncharleyone663]

Such a powerful performance has me in a complete trance awaiting every note, Still, fixated and astounded by the beauty of the whole performance. Every time I watch it. Love it.

[@WriterAmberStreet]

So beautiful!! The Dudek is one of my favorite instruments!

[@armenvondoms1815]

Just discovered the duduk yesterday! I have a chance to buy one ridiculously cheap. I hope it's real. That sound is soul gripping!

[@darkroz8217]

Amixem on est là 😎

[@DeltaRana4]

A truly beautiful instrument and beautifully played.

[@DannyPlass]

[@Aws_177]

This sound speaks to my soul somehow.

[@davideamadori4708]

Oh my God. The sound of the soul.

[@majaschmeiner6086]

I am really touched by your play. It's giving me goosebumps and, at the same time, provides so much peace. I'm going to use it while meditating. thank you and greetings from Germany.

[@MelodicDG2]

it feels so mystical…..like hearing something from thousands of years ago…. what beautiful music we humans can creat

[@wright.ricardo]

Excellent. You played with such feeling, that the piece went directly to heart. Excellent Sir!

[@EllanaTs]

Gorgeous! Thank you!

[@LucaCupido1999]

I didn't know that Frank Zappa is still alive and plays the duduk! Jokes apart you're amazing bro!

[@closedaccount9844]

Spellbinding, so beautiful it just leaves me shaking my head in silence. Loved it!

[@chillloser9183]

A true master. One can only dream of possessing such talent 💔 I envy you.

[@azaharadesumatra9650]

I was excited trying to describe what it felt like when I read the invitation to sit in an ancient temple to listen to you play your duduk, and how the sound comes back from the walls touching and healing us. That's right, teacher, Thank you !!!!!

[@TomJakobW]

I actually was just searching for how a Duduk sounds like and didn’t read the title. 20 seconds in I was like “wait… wtf, isn’t this albinoni??” 😂 Learned it on the oboe many years back! Much Double-Reed love

[@hoofhearted5069]

I just flew away way way away in my head beautiful ✨🪈✨👏

[@rafalprzewlocki]

Magic instrument. Thanks for your work!

[@JawaProductions]

[@sempreaprendendo21]

I love listening to this sound, it touches me deep down, I don't know how to explain it.

[@TobiasSebastien]

Oh man, this touches my heart! So beautiful! Thank you🙏

[@nvndorm]

I love how this instrument sounds, it brings peace and calm also I love that piece!

[@benjaming4854]

Beautiful language of music by duduk

[@BE12AA]

Maravilloso de mis favoritos adagio superado con creces con el talento y con el sonido del duduk. Desde Madrid 🇪🇦 impresionante 👌

[@lapinuage]

dear Canberk Ulas, what a peaceful moment, thanks a lot for that, and this reverb' trough the silence, amazing !

[@matthewcampbell3859]

I am curious about the natural acoustic tone of this instrument? It sounds incredible when run through a reverb and delay. I want to buy myself a duduk and I am interested in knowing how much of this sound is produced by layering digital effects.

[@i_n_c_r_y_p_t_o]

I can't answer directly since I don't play the duduk, although I just ordered an A and G duduk to start learning! But I would say most likely that this is very influenced by the reverb and delay effect, to make it sound as if it's being played in a space like a cathedral. A normal woodwind instrument would sound pretty flat and not carry in a normal living room or office like he is playing in. I'm not diminishing his playing--his tone and playing is incredibly beautiful, but if there were no effect applied in the room he's in, it would have basically no reverb is what I would say just from a lot of experience playing the saxophone.

[@Zizie_sc]

@@i_n_c_r_y_p_t_oI disagree… part of what makes the Duduk so beautiful, is that harsh and yet hollow “human” tones they provide Amazing instrument

[@i_n_c_r_y_p_t_o]

@@Zizie_sc Yes I agree but no woodwind (or any) instrument has that much reverb in a standard living room or room such as this, coming from personal experience.

[@carmeloprincipato7809]

IL duduk suona in chiave di. G con un ottima amplificazione e con degli effetti standard e possibile ottenere questi risultati , la differenza la fa il musicista usando un ancia media giocando di maestria sui cromatismi sui legati e sullo staccato puntato.

[@TjMoon91]

Your comment was a year ago, so hopefully you ended up buying one. But if you haven’t, the reverb/delay obviously helps with the ‘epic-ness’ of the sound, but the core tone is what you hear in this video. It’s not like the actual tone has been drastically altered with fx.

[@Kymmrodri12]

It’s so haunting and beautifully

[@thoushant]

With love from Armenia. you did well sir

[@mtchampion1831]

Beautiful performance. Very moved.

[@cuneytsahin404]

The sound is hauntingly beautiful. Stumbled on a meditation video of dudúk music. Your playing is wonderful.

[@calvinstulip]

Beautiful. Thank you for the upload.

[@spencerkieft6021]

I am no expert on the duduk but your tone is amazing. It's like a near east version of an English horn.

The Duduk is such a beautiful instrument!

[@jolynecuster3381]

I recently discovered the Duduk. I came across this video and felt peaceful, yet solemn. I want to weep both out of joy and despair. What a brilliant piece you have played. Excellent work!!

[@dariokonstantin]

I have no words for how beautiful this is. Thank you so much!

[@ОльгаМасюкова-б3т]

😻😻😻❤🤗😇🤗🥰 What a clear, thrilling sound! Thanks 😍😍😍

[@wilhelmmatthies5921]

Superb! Timing and tone coordinated with the reverb...

[@brandonmack111]

Wow, beautiful!

[@andrewfortmusic]

This is the voice of the wind, perhaps mourning the loss of her child, or crying from loneliness. Excellent performance, Canberk! You are a masterful dudukahar; I could listen to you all day! Do you think that perhaps the English Horn solo in Ravel's Adagio Assai (from his piano concerto in G) would fit within the range of duduk? Would the key signature be difficult to maneuver? And, if you think it is possible, could you please play it?

[@kevindewinter8235]

pure beauty

Wonderful! and mind boggling. Wish you the best.
