    Duduk

    Hi, i am looking for a MKS-A duduk. Does he still make duduks and what is the price of one of his? I have heard he is the greatest master.

    Duduk

    hi,MosJan. thanks a lot for the useful information. from what i get it was an A-duduk. what about holes-SAM says they should be 1 cm in diameter,but my C-duduk has 9mm ones & i think they are better for the sake of obertones /if you know what i mean/. how do you think ? take the clarinet for instance /1 cm holes,but its internal diameter is about 1,5-2,0 cm; the same is situation with kaval/. however, you say 11mm internal diameter & it varies,but did you mean 11mm basically,for mine is mainly 12mm & masterSAM says 12mm as well. i am asking this,because i paid attention to Djivan Gasparyan"s duduk & i think it was a bit thinner,which may mean it has a smaller diameter from inside also. but,you see,it is just what i thought. maybe,i did not see quite well. nevermind,this is another matter. bye now. hyesalute ! RESPECT ! maman

    Duduk

    hi,MosJan. i didnt get your question from 1 time. actually i have already tried with the C-duduk reed,but it is just 9 cm long & things are not good. i dont know if the other is an A-duduk /it is not marked/. it came with a 12 cm reed & play in Bb rather than A. in A it was not good- i mean my low A & G# were flat,while B & F# are ok,at the same time E & F#high are sharp,though i close all holes. however, its measures /before i gave them a hand up & down,now they are too wide & not quite circular/ were: 35,5 cm total length; 6 cm from top to thumb; 4,3 cm to#1 hole 3,4 cm 2 3,1 cm 3 3,1 cm 4 2,7 cm 5 3,0 cm 6 3,1 cm 7 2,8 cm 8 4,0 cm 9

    Duduk

    hi,MosJan. thanks for replying. i think that my C-duduk is not a souvenier,since it was bought on-line from www.duduk.com. i dont have a picture of it,but i can tell you its measures. 31 cm long,12 mm internal diameter,thumb hole is 5,0 cm from top, 3,2 cm from top to #1 hole 3,8 cm to #2 2,8 cm #3 2,7 cm #4 2,3 cm #5 2,7 cm #6 2,4 cm #7 2,4 cm #8 3,8 cm to bottom hole 2,2 cm outside diameter #6 to #7 hole inside diameter varies as for duduk instructions,i have read them a 1000 times,but you see nothing about measures there. & i just wanted to know sth. about A-duduk- length at least, & distance from top to last hole/not counting bottom hole/.

    How to make duduk reeds

    hello,petrossians student. if you are still interested in making duduk reeds i can tell you some things i have found out. i am not a master,but i am making my own ones & they play. if you have questions,you"re welcome.

    Duduk

    sorry,Domino,but i may have misundurstood your remark.my question was about measures, not about tones.you see,i have no problem with making out tones. actually i tried playing in Bb-key with a longer reed & C-duduk,but this is not quite right,is it. generally one needs the right duduk,then the right reed in order to try out sth. more.

    Duduk

    hi,hyeforum. can anybody help telling me measures for A-duduk or at least the length of it & the spread between holes.i have a C-duduk from master SAM & no problem with it.but my other duduk is from Armenia & is not marked.i do not know its key. it is 35 cm long, 21,4 cm #1 to #9 hole.is there any such duduk at all & what key is it? i met varpet gasparyan after a concert of his & asked him about my duduk,but we could not quite understand each other,because we talked russian.however, he tried it out with his reeds & assured me,this was " ne plohoi " instrument. but now it is not quite good,for i opened its holes "a little" trying to correct them.so i decided to built an A-duduk,because at present i cannot afford buying one.
