Nice reverb too. Duduk is probably the single most overused instrument in any documentary or swordfighting movie that wants to signify "exotic and epic". Especially desert exotic, North Africa, Middle East, Silk Road, Roman empire, even the heathen Vikings, you name it, slap a duduk and reverb on there. It's beautiful, and wistful - that's why. And the reverb puts it over the top... it just sounds like a movie, already by that point.

I felt my soul leaving my body when you started to play

Thank you for representing my culture. For anyone interested, our talented duduk player Jivan Gasparyan even played for Hans Zimmer for soundtrack of The Gladiator movie. That was impressive too ❤❤❤ 🇦🇲

I recall that a digitally altered form of this instrument gave us the sound of the Tsungi horn from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Beautiful! It is a profound ancient sound@

The instrument closest to peace...that's why it corresponds to the soul, , , every soul suffers for peace...suffers for a lost paradise -but in the hope of returning to it. Praise be to GOD alone.

Love the duduk. Traditional armenian instrument used in soundtracks for exotic desert scenes

Gives me chills every time I hear it, and we can definitely thank Hans Zimmer for popularizing it.

It produces the sound of keeping a secret

I was only listening to this reel without watching, and you started to play the instrument I immediately remembered Sayat Nova

[te-bo]

When I watched narnia for the first time as a little kid I instantly fell in love with the duduk. A narnian lullaby is a short eventful but beautiful song played on duduk.

[Lilac]

That's one of the most beautiful sound my ears have ever heard😮💗💗

Duduk is the spirit, the voice of the soul ✨

[rodrigomunoz]

Duduk is the only thing I can listen to while at work ❤

[deutsche_lyrik]

*Djivan Gasparyan* is probably the most well-known duduk player😊 The Duduk is a very deep sensitive instrument 😌🙏🏻

I have discovered the name of this instrument a few days ago but I fell in love with its sounds years ago, while watching Gladiator.

goddamn man this sound is straight up godly, it's truly mesmerizing.

[mveletic]

I listen to duduk music for relaxation when I can't sleep. I didn't know how it looks like. Thanks.
