The restoration of an old rare duduk of master Karlen.
Oh yeah… It has seen its days.
Initially it had an incomprehensible tuning, somewhere between B flat and A. Former owners tried to pick and poke into it… They tried to really pick into it, and have done some damage there…
Eventually, I have completely re-tuned all the holes there and corrected the inner channel.
All in all, that duduk came out great. The perfect B flat, and perfect A for the reed.
I love it when the elderlies regain their youth and the second breath again.
I love my work.

The repair of duduk. That duduk was acquired who knows where…
A nameless baby… The problem was that it had the tuning which I could not even understand.
I had to completely re-tune it.
What was important is that its' wood material is very good. That duduk will live for a long time.
