Key(A,C,D,F,G) five professional reeds for Armenian duduk

The Armenian historian of the 5th century Movses Khorenatsi also mentioned the
duduk.
The duduk instrument and duduk music are an integral part of the cultural life
and public
identity of the Armenian people. For many centuries, she accompanied all the
important
social events in the life of Armenians: folk celebrations, celebrations, songs
and dances,
wedding and funeral ceremonies, and more.
According to the study of ethnomusicologist Dr. Jonathan McCollum, the duduk
is depicted
on numerous Armenian manuscripts of the Middle Ages, symbolizing the Armenian
national
identity. As McColman notes, the most important quality of the duduk is its
ability to
express the dialectic and mood of the Armenian language.

In 2005, the music of the Armenian duduk was recognized as a masterpiece of
UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage.
