Very nice, Duduk is the spirit, the voice of the soul ✨

Ah I have a duduk but I hadn't been puffing out my cheeks, excited to get home and try it

A guy is incredible, it seems like he has one reed to all kinds of duduk tunings from D to F - dudkist joke.

Lya-duduk is supposed to be la, as in the note. Great playing, very interesting.
