	Duduk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The duduk (pronounced /doodook/) is a traditional woodwind instrument from the Caucasus region.
		This English word is often used generically for a family of ethnic instruments including the doudouk in Armenia, the Kurdish duduk in Turkey, the duduki in Georgia, the duduka in Russia and Ukraine, and the daduk in Bulgaria.
		The Armenian duduk as a "Masterpiece of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity" from the UNESCO's 2005 proclamation.

		From the informative folder we learn that the duduk's body must be carved from the root of the apricot tree, while the reed -- called "ramish" or "yegheg" -- is ideally cut from canes growing along the banks of the Arax river.
		Consequently the duduk was used for representations of Middle Eastern love poems called "ashugh." Two of the CD's tracks are taken from the legacy of Sayat Nova (1717-1795), a prominent composer of ashugh from the Armenian community in Aleppo (Northern Syria).
		Another motif is the "Makam," a term derived from the Arabic "maqama." This form of narrative verse was developed by Arabic and Persian-writing poets as early as the 10th century and soon it became considered as the epitome of lyrical prose.

		The duduk is an eight-holed (plus thumb hole) flute made of apricot wood with a cane reed.
		Ironically, within the Armenian music culture, the sound of the duduk is not considered "sad." Thanks in large part to Gasparyan, the duduk has achieved status as an important classical instrument in Armenian music culture.
		On this latest Network release, Gasparyan appears with a conservatory-trained ensemble consisting of four duduks, kamantcha (fiddle), tar (long-neck lute), kanon (zither), oud, kamani (described as a cross between a kamantcha and a cello) and dhol (drum).
