The duduk ( ; ) or tsiranapogh (), which means “apricot-made wind instrument”, is an ancient Armenian double reed woodwind instrument made of apricot wood. It is indigenous to Armenia. Variations of the Armenian duduk are found in other regions of the Caucasus and the Middle East, including Present Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, Present Turkey, and Iran. It is commonly played in pairs: while the first player plays the melody, the second plays a steady drone called "dum", and the sound of the two instruments together creates a richer, more haunting sound.
