Duduk on muinainen armenialainen puupuhallinsoitin, jota on kuvattu "sielun ääneksi" sen syvän emotionaalisen ja melankolisen soundin vuoksi. Sen yli 1 500 vuotta ulottuva historia ja perinteisesti aprikoosipuusta valmistettu runko sekä suuri kaksoisruoko luovat sen tunnelmallisen äänen. Duduk on keskeinen osa armenialaista kansanmusiikkia ja vahva ääni kansainvälisissä elokuvamusiikeissa. Unesco lisäsi duduk-musiikin aineettoman kulttuuriperinnön luetteloon vuonna 2005.

The duduk is an ancient Armenian woodwind instrument, famously described as the "voice of the soul" for its deeply emotional and melancholic sound. With a history dating back over 1,500 years, it is traditionally made from apricot wood and features a large double reed. Its haunting tone has made it a cornerstone of Armenian folk music and a powerful voice in international film scores. In 2005, its music was proclaimed an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
