Some kinds of flutes

[mika]

Hey guys

There are 2 kinds of flutes that I saw and I really like the way it sounds so maybe you can tell me what are their names plus I'm thinking to buy an armenian duduk flute do you have any recommendation? I like the deep warm sounds

The first looks like a Bansuri. Not 100%sure.

The second looks like a fipple flute, but the bore to length ratio seems a bit different than a typical whistle. Almost like a 6 holed tabor pipe, but its pitch seems too low for that. Interesting.

The second one is a type of Ney, a rim-blown flute from Turkey and the Arabic countries.

That was my first thought, but I thought he was blowing that way to strait on to be rim blown. I'll have to re-watch the video.

Searching youtube for Ney shows people playing the same way. In the past, I have looked up Kaval videos where the instrument (in the videos I watched) is held at more of a 45 degree angle.

Hi Mika

the duduk is not a flute but a double reed wooden instrument.

However if you're looking for a good duduk I would suggest you to contact Mr. Arthur Grigoryan, he's making some of the best duduks, his instruments are played by some of the most notorious armenian and foreigners musicians.
Plus is a very nice and kind person to deal with.
His web is : http://www.armenianduduk.am/

Take care
