We began collecting Apricot wood from 1998, since then over 4,500
blanks
for duduk have been stored and aged in a moisture controlled environment.
Instead of using the typical two step process throughout three years we have aged the wood for
5 years and used a 5 stage aging process. Using the knowledge and experience
passed to us from the masters of Armenian duduk we are adding our own research
and techniques to produce our own brand of instruments while maintaining its
traditional integrity of Armenian duduk.
By using a new technology and a five step aging process we
guarantee that the instrument will not require perpetual tuning and it will last
much longer than the others in most any environment.
The extra strength gained by our aging process also adds a unique sound
advantage.
Just like in the old saying, the harder/stronger the wood, the better the sound.
Our first duduk was made in our shop in 2003, Serial # of Duduk-A-00001,
it's in the hands of Albert Vardanyan who is also the reed maker for our
duduk's.
Ever since 2003 we have made over 700 duduk's that have been tested
and are in the hands of professionals who's opinion we trust, over the years we
have improved the quality of the instruments based on their feedback.
Each instrument manufactured in our facility carries a
duduk.com logo and a unique serial number.
