Known as the Armenian national instrument, the cylindrical double-reed instrument is usually turned from apricot wood. The duduk is usually played in pairs. One instrument holds a long tone, the so-called drone duduk dam, while the other is used as a melody instrument. The player of the dam, known as the damkash, maintains this drone through circular breathing.
