That must account for the 'Chipmunk' facial expressions!

It probably does. Sounds great when the chipmunk behind it knows how to play well.

Kar, the Duduk has been charming me for years now and I've always wanted to own one. A friend of mine made one last year and it sounded fairly good and I gave it a try. The back pressure is tremendous so if you can keep from passing out and build up your lungs to meet the demand its a fabulous instrument. If you find a source for fine quality instruments please let me know.

Can I second the reccomendation to check out Djivan Gasparyan? All scoffers will be silenced!
