After visiting our shop or consulting our blog dedicated to the Duduk, you will become aware of the existence of variants of this instrument, distinguished by their tonality, craftsmanship, and appearance.
La Maison Duduk provides a guide to help you choose a Duduk that suits your needs and preferences.
For beginners/first users
- If you are new to acquiring a Duduk and are considering getting one for the first time, it is highly recommended to opt for a Duduk in A (La), offering the most authentic sound and likely matching the sound effect you are seeking. La Maison du Duduk offers three ranges of Duduks in A (La), differentiated by the reputation and expertise of their respective craftsmen.
- If your intention is simply to satisfy your curiosity by discovering how the instrument works, we recommend starting with a first-range Duduk by Misha Sadoev, with which you will be able to play your first pieces with authentic sound quality, all at an affordable price.
- However, if your goal is to play this instrument seriously and to benefit from superior sound quality guaranteeing an authentic musical experience for several years, we strongly advise you to opt for the intermediate range "GGA | Atelier Galstyan" or the "MKS | Karen Mukayelyan", unanimously recognized for their quality and excellent acoustics.
- Regarding aesthetics, the color or wooden ornaments do not influence the sound emitted by the Duduk. Therefore, you can confidently choose the instrument that visually appeals to you without worrying about its impact on sound quality.
