Make your own polypipe Duduk

[@amarildooliveira8440]

My God! God bless you my bhother. I love the sound of Duduk but, i don´t have money to buy. I´m brasilian. I'll try to do, thank you brother and congratulations.

[@AChi__]

You sir, are a freaking genius.

[@leon3783]

This is the best diy duduk I have seen ..... thanks for showing us the making of it . Sound exactly like the duduk .

[@closedaccount9844]

I must admit, I thought I would sound rubbish, but I was astounded how good that sounded. Lol. Really great job. Thanks for sharing. You made me smile today 😆

[@karlhaese7183]

absolutely unreal!!!!! WOW

[@Vidhata786]

No wo der he is called the whistling buddha in my uni

[@EustahijeMihajlović]

Thats because the material doesnt really affect the sound.

[@andrewatarantino]

You dont know what you talking about​@@EustahijeMihajlović

[@nebbyking7187]

I think you are a magician. You make it looks so easy. I've tried and tried to make the rred, and cant get a sound out of it. And mine looks so misshapen despite my best efforts. This tells me how good you actually are! And what great playing!

[@ShardsOfObsidian]

Perfect idea for staying inside! Learn a new instrument that produces a very soothing sound.

[@Zizie_sc]

My thoughts at this very moment lol. I shall go get started

[@Ingeniero_En_Casa]

SO MANY THANKS! For years I've searched for measurements and instructions on how to make a duduk. Thanks for sharing! As with many things in life, player is the most important aspect on getting a good result, and you're an incredible player that makes it look too easy!

[@patheddles4004]

Many thanks for the detailed plans - that'll be very helpful. I actually have a traditional duduk, but I can't get replacement reeds without paying about as much as a whole new instrument. I've just checked the measurements, and I should be able to adapt this polypipe reed to fit (inside) my duduk. Problem solved!

[@Suth1172]

I wasn’t planning on actually making it till you mentioned the exact pipe to get from Bunnings 😭 Thanks

[@nino96able]

God bless you in the name of Jesus. You're a wonderful soul.

[@silva69ers]

Duduk is Indonesian for "sit". I wouldn't want to sit on this but it makes you sit and listen

[@dobrovik]

Duduk in the language I just made up means "this was a great youtube video, very informative", so this really ended up working out as a great coincidence

[@highintlowwis6580]

I have always wanted a duduk to play that one lullaby from Narnia, thank you for helping me do so!

[@jjohnston94]

Here's a little tip to save you some irritation: attach that anvil to a piece of plywood with some bolts (countersunk type, pointing upward so the underside is smooth). To the underside of the plywood, attach a piece of ordinary 2x lumber so it makes a "T" in cross section. When you want to use the anvil, tighten the lower 2x piece in the vise so it doesn't squirm around the bench.

[@kritzoventer6611]

Very nice vibrato - well played mate!

[@bobsmith3838]

This is great, but I think your copper duduk (from another video) sounds even better.

[@LexiandAimee123]

Your knowledge is so refreshing! Thanks. Close up on parts and list of hole bore size measurements would be helpful.

[@yorganyog]

This is a must do project. I already tried to do a duduk, always in the wrong way. Its xmas. Im excited!!!

[@michb7414]

ThankU I love the dound. Yani's Orchestra has a Musician who plays a 3000 year old Duduk. I'm looking at purchasing my daughter an Armenian professional Duduk. She plays the Flute x 18 years

[@nelsongonzalez450]

Pedro Eustache, from Venezuela, is that duduk player

[@multiphony]

thank you Linsey! I have made my own experiments after finding the original idea video, but now I am inspired to try again.. you did add some things.. I then tried to make reeds for duduks I have from georgia and armenia, but didnt quite get them good enough, though they where playable.. ma by with more hammering experiments I could get them better.. have also tried to make the original reed version, a georgian builder once showed me the whole process.. fascinating! but they are v e r y tricky to get them working well..

[@NicolasBras]

You're the best Linsey! Can't wait to try!

[@captebbtide]

I have GOT to make me one of those!

[@saundrasaumay9767]

Great Duduk hack & beautiful playing. Thank you!

[@sandysingssongs]

Amazing instrument and beautifully played.

[@kobaltocr6927]

OMG I think this is my dreamed instrument🤤😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks a lot for sharing this video and the instrument that makes our inner voices be heard🤤🤤🤤🤤🙌🖤 Greetings from Costa Rica

[@malopelli]

thank you so much ! perfect idea the double reed with the tube ! you're the only one to purpose this !!

[@swefnsedge]

Brilliant video thank you! Duduk is one of my favourite instruments, i’m definitely giving this a go. Lovely playing too! Do you do any remote session work?! :)

[@SquealyD]

sorry, no remote sessions

[@swefnsedge]

Linsey Pollak that’s a shame! I will follow with interest!

[@AdamFBuchanan]

this is incredible. and your in Australia?? awesome!!

[@FrodeP]

You, sir, are a genius! Loved your work for a long time.

[@mxjxn-art]

WOW I did not expect it to sound that good!

[@vickgevorgyan7650]

Hello, very nice and amazing sound, innovative and genius, when you listen to the the real sound of authentic Armenian duduk made out of aged Apricot and made by experienced master, in real nothing can imitate the sound of real duduk. Greetings from heart of Armenia, sound was closed enough !

[@Jared_De_Leon]

Interesting, I’ve tried making a reed from the handle of a milk jug but never went anywhere with it. Now I’m tempted to make a keyed version of this!

[@jandavis1523]

A beautiful mellow sound. Well done!

[@SalomonYes]

My friend, thank you so much! i'm going to create a duduk from viraró wood taking your meassurements. Greetings from Argentina 🙌🏾💙

[@byroncrump4390]

Heard you on the melb radio yesterday and very much enjoyed it. Did realise you were in Tanzes Fancy a very inspirational group 4 me. This video is excellent many thanks

[@leitoruido]

Usted es un verdadero maestro, muchas gracias por el material que comparte. Abrazos desde un rincón entre el océano y la cordillera 🙌🏽✨🤗

[@cutechiangels]

Wow, Lindsey, that's some interesting duduk!! Thanks! As I don't have the tools to make one, would it be possible to ship one to me? Awesome jobs you do! And your playing is fab! 👍🎶

[@Konskie_Zacisze]

Thank You for this beautyfull gift.

[@2ears1mouth786]

CAN'T BELIEVE HOW EASY TO IS TO MAKE THIS THING!

[@rontan8433]

I'll love to make this. Excellent as a project during COVID lockdown.

[@hoasenfreak]

Thx for that detailed Instruktion. I just ordered a real duduk but will build one just for comparison purpose. Do you think a poly Reed will work (if it fits) in a proper duduk?

[@jean-paulrostain527]

Great !!! Thank you so much, Linsey, you made my dream come true !

[@SquealyD]

you are very welcome JeanPaul

[@allegoricalstatue]

Awesome. Okay I got a challenge for you: PVC Aulos/Auloi would be badass.

[@Hamporkchop]

Truly an inspiration. This is bafflingly simple!

[@kyariscar]

you sound beautiful! thank you for sharing

[@JNaysh]

Fantastic instrument, although I must ask... what is that at the back right edge of your table at 5:26 ?? lol

[@OrdinaryLatvian]

The Dildophone Mk 69.

[@DANIEL1991zxcvbnm]

thanks, I will try again ... already the past years I had purchased some black tube (curved though) and I tried to do it, with little success ... now I could try again, just in these days I tried to make the mouth thinner, and a trumpet-like sound comes out ... but not as beautiful and melodious as yours ... but I guess it is very much a question of ability to play instruments ... however I am going to buy one from Armenia with ebay. ..

[@damiandziaczynski-pracowni4481]

Fantastic work!

[@elishamullinsmusic2558]

This is incredible, and it sounds beautiful! I'm wanting to make one of my own, but it's pretty difficult to find poly pipe in these dimensions here in the States, thanks to us still rejecting the metric system *facepalm* How would you recommend going about experimenting with hole placement and dimensions to find the right spots? The closest thing I can get my hands on to 12mm ID pipe will be 1/2 inch which is just a little too big, do you think I could work with that and these hole placements and still get somewhere close to decent intonation?

[@mechwarrior5727]

if youre still wondering, start with smaller holes, try about 4 mm or whatever is less than 7 but not absurdly small, then once the instrument is finished, try the low note and make sure its in tune, then then first hole, make that in tune, then the next and so on, getting each hole in tune before starting the next, to pick where to make a hole, try and scale it up with the tube

[@allegoricalstatue]

I read up on this a bit and the radius/diameter _do_ actually affect the pitch somewhat in real life: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_correction Since the frequency is determined from the effective length basically. For a closed pipe: DeltaL == 0.6 * r = 0.3 * D where DeltaL is the extra length added on from the physical length of the pipe. So in short for a wider tube you need to slightly shorten the distances by some calculable amount I suppose, and vice versa for a narrower one.

[@martinjosealvarez]

Gracias desde Salamanca Mexico

[@RamonZone]

If the reed and body were all made from one piece of pipe, construction would be simpler. However, how would it affect the sound?

[@David-bc4rh]

The instrument will warm up with breath and go flat due to material expansion, so it's practical to have it slide in and out to compensate.

[@13opacus]

Know what I'm doing this weekend. Thanks :)

[@cjhernandez1198]

I love this! would you be able to create a double reed aulos like from Greece?

[@nanosax66]

Thanks Linsey!

[@dejansmalcelj]

Amazing, thanx for this 😁

[@AtefWagih]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I bought all parts from Bunnings, but have been trying to make the reed for a couple of weeks now, with no luck :( no matter how I hammer, it will not produce sound. Any chance of another tutorial on what to do if the reed does not produce sound? cheers

[@NersralNitram]

Så many thanks for your genial idea🙂

[@Elasciapurgrattar]

This is b-r-i-l-l-i-a-n-t !!! you should sell them online :) I'd buy one right away

[@SquealyD]

I will make them for sale [e-mail]

[@titodejesus6238]

Nice sound , easy to do as explained in your video. I have been hitting the pipe to make the reed but I can not flat it enough. I have used a press to try an flat it, I even applied heat to it and can not make it flat so no sound comes out of it. Do you have any tip you can give to address this?

[@skraninger]

Very Nice! Living in the US the “normal” pipe we get here is .5 ID and .7 OD. Would you have a method to convert the measurements? They are pretty close. Thanks

[@SquealyD]

I don't have a method for conversion, but if the dimensions of the pipe are close then use my measurements and then adjust them on the 2nd attempt. ie: if the note is too sharp move the hole further down the tube, if it's too flat move it further up the tube

[@jjohnston94]

The reed pipe is ordinary 1/2" drip irrigation pipe; I don't know what the body pipe is. It looks like a double layer, with a translucent pipe inside the black one. We've got PEX in the US, so maybe that's all it is.

[@gustavoalbanviveros1757]

Su vídeo es genial ❤

[@ascarragadecorcel9566]

too cool. it sounds beautiful

[@joseesteban9730]

Tanks you so much, from colombia muchas gracias

[@AbuKhaled23]

Unfortunately the irrigation polypipe dose not flat in order to make the reed, any other material we can use

[@burnsalis3722]

Wow!! Amazing!!!❤❤❤

[@TheDrut666]

Brilliant, thanks for sharing

[@abelaguilera1212]

Thanks a lot for share it!! very nice work.

[@strummer43]

In the UK suppliers only seem to sell 15mm and 22mm pex piping. Any ideas on how this could be used or a work around? Great sound.

[@SquealyD]

look for thinner walled pipe than PEX tube (domestic garden irrigation pipe)

[@MrF3nox]

that look at the end haha u know im gonna make a few

[@christophhorth2813]

Great work! Any suggestions for sheet music suited for this limited octave range?

[@chrisj496]

How long does this reed last? Before it wears out losing proper sound, needing to be replaced. Thank you!

[@minka866]

By cylindrical tube the waves would be square, right, sir?

Is ‘polypipe’ the brand? I tried to look a translation for it up so I can know what to look for in the Netherlands, but all I got was a company.

[@marcusthedreamer6490]

this is amazing!!!!

[@Palmanda89]

ooo, souds wonderful.

[@YahBoiCyril]

Is polypipe the same as pex in the us? I tried this with pex scraps because I wanted to use the reed to make a hichikiri, but no dice. Even if I filed it or shaped it, no sound.

[@mr.charles1753]

Yeah i have problems with the "reed" too

[@ASHORSHEMAYA]

Well done, and thank you so much🎼🎶🎵💙

[@mrbisse1]

Would it be possible to make a bassoon in a similar way?

[@Shuvah2Him]

I gotta do this! Thanks!

[@Spr7ritus]

Hi, I live in germany and want to do make a duduk. unfortunatly, I didnt find a shop, selling this materials, like that pex pipe. But I found one, what sell normal pvc pipes with 12mm ID and 16mm OD. Can I use any plastic pipe or does it need to be the original like in the video? I have issues finding a pipe, I can hammer to make the reed. What kind of material or what kind of pipe do I need. Iam not quite familiar with the term "garden irrigation" pipe, so I dont know, how to explain it to the hardware store in german language. Can you help me out please? I really want to have my own, selfmade duduk.

[@Ingeniero_En_Casa]

Hi. The kind of plastic hose needed is made from polyethylene, which is strong but flexible. PVC would break very easily and won't work at least for the reed, probably it will for the body. Rubber hoses neither are suitable as they wouldn't retain the reed shape. That's the brilliant idea of this duduk, using poly-pipe for the reed.

[@multiphony]

I am from germany.. you can find the right type: schwarz, aufgerollt, für bewässerung, in gartencenter oder baumarkt, aber nicht bei den anderen pvc rohren, sondern bei garten bewässerungs zubehör...

[@robabnawaz]

@@multiphony Hallo, ich war im Baumarkt (erfreulichweise wieder geöffnet). Weißt du, wie man dieses Rohr ganz genau bezeichnet? Due haben mich nur verständnislos angeschaut :-) . Danke.

[@multiphony]

@@robabnawaz das sind bewässerungsrohre, eventuel eher in der gartenabteilung, bei gartenbewässerung, und schwarz..

May I ask with which formula u calculate the placers for the fingerholes?

[@sensei.jeel.rajpara.07]

Can I use this poly pipe reed on my wooden duduk?....please answer🙏

[@stefchollet]

thank you for sharing

[@armanmartirosyan1520]

Armenian Duduk has a magical sound.

[@elgusster]

Amazing, great

[@paulminter3511]

How do you do vibrato ? Is it coming because of your air pressure ?

[@gehinkun]

Anyone swedish who knows what kind of pipe the reed pipe would match? Have tried some options but so far everything is not formable enough or too rigid and cracks (even with heat)

[@mikekruger7728]

I tried to make one, but mine just sounds off and im not sure why

[@TrevorDuran3390]

Brilliant!

[@feridazizov8950]

I followed the instructions. So, it actually works, but the sound is more like a crying duck rather than duduk :/ I still use it quite often because it's easier to practice on it since it requires much less air

[@richochetriver]

i love this so much, tried to do it at home but found getting the sound out of the reed was quite difficult - any tips?

[@malahamavet]

maybe you need to flatten it even more. I remember doing this but with drinking straws. you had to flatten them with your teeth a lot of time to get them to sound. this is basically the same but with a giant straw, so I imagine it will take more time to flatten the reed

[@GB-kd8xf]

Genius

[@aarontanghe3494]

I really want rto make this instrument but i live in belgium and nowone here knows what polypipe is. Anyboddy who knows an other name for or an online shop where i can buy it?
