iDuduk made available for purchase
Apple has added new feature to i-Phone music collection. Welcome
iDuduk App familiarizing customers with one of the oldest and most
popular ethnic woodwind instruments of all time.
The Duduk, an Armenian woodwind instrument, has been revolutionizing
the music industry for film, television, and the world music scene in
general, thanks to artists such as Peter Gabriel, Michael Brook, and
others.
Here are some facts as followed. It is believed that no other musical
instrument is able to convey the emotions of the Armenian people so
honestly and eloquently as the Duduk, for it is purely Armenian, born
in the early eons of Armenian history. Because of its evocative and
colorful timbre and warm sound, the Duduk has become part of everyday
life in Armenia. Today, no festive occasion, wedding reception or
family feast is complete without a Dudukist (a Duduk-player).
The Duduk is a cylindrical wooden flute with thousands-year history
behind it. A form of oboe hand-made almost always of apricot wood, the
Duduk is strictly Armenian. Traveling Armenians have taken it to
Persia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, the Middle East, and as far as the
Balkans, where derivatives are played.
Key Features of iDuduk?¢ LT are listed below:
¢In the Blow Mode, blow into your microphone to play music
¢In the Press Mode option, simply play by pressing down the holes (for

¢The Press Mode includes 8 notes D-Dorian
¢In the Duet Mode, use the `Dum (Drone) slider to choose a pitch to
