Duduk is another fine representation of the people. This single or double reed wind instrument made of the wood of the apricot tree was unknown to the world until the recent times, yet it has become quite popular during the last decade. You can hear the sounds of duduk in a number of European and
Hollywood movies even though this instrument has truly Armenian origin. Duduk has a warm, soft, slightly nasal timbre. Its sound is poignant and heartrending. It conveys the pain and suffering that befell on
Armenia and its people throughout its entire history.
