The seventh tone hole is located under a key. Turned from apricot wood, the cylindrical double-reed instrument is characterised by a warm, soft and slightly nasal tone colour. At the request of Armenia in 2005, the duduk was added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity in 2008.
