Hi @cryptonight1234 - you’re very welcome, thank you for writing. I’m using hard strength reeds in this video. If you consider yourself a beginner with reed playing, I would suggest soft reeds, or order an extra medium to compare and contrast. I typically order 3 reeds at a time and have found Vamelo Duduk reeds to be very consistent.

@@akruziki Thanks. I use medium and thinking of getting some Vamelo reeds. in the video some of the notes where buzzing that's usually characteristic of soft reeds that's why I asked but I guess in this case it's was a matter playing style (load notes along side softer notes)

@@Cryptonight1234 absolutely, it’s definitely a buzzy range in the high range of the horn. It’s definitely something I personally work on with any reed, regardless of strength or maker. The good news is the low register of these reeds is smooth like velvet, so depending on the approach / style, you’ll be able to control the buzz factor quite well.

@@akruziki Thanks that helps a lot 🙏

Hello! Yes I highly recommend the A Professional Duduk by Vamelo. I own other duduks by other makers, and the real trick is finding a reed that works well with the horn. Vamelo makes their own reeds and after ordering subsequent reeds, have been very satisfied with the quality and consistency. A duduk is also what most first duduk players start on, eventually graduating to other keys. I personally own A, C and Bass duduk by Vamelo, and they all play very consistently. reverb.com/item/29476064-duduk-professional-vamelo

Thank you so much! I’m at the beginning of my shakuhachi journey and am very excited to grow day by day.

Thanks for checking out the videos🙏🏼

Thank you so much ❤️‍🔥🙏🏼

Merci🙏🏼🪈❤️‍🔥

Thank you so much! It was a joy being in the mountains of Montana, making music.

I appreciate your words and look forward to getting better, day by day🪈🎹

​@akruziki innovation is done by trying what hasn't been done before. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Eventually, you'll find some which will work. I dont think the piano and Japanese flute work well together. However, that is my opinion and like most opinions, not substantial. Maybe a different temperament? Micro tonal piano? I dunno

Agreed, we do and stumble and do again, and maybe stumble again, until things seem to iron themselves out. I think you’re onto something @missionsilo - and opinions, agreed. Here’s a trio record that works quite well with shakuhachi, piano, and percussion, if you’re so inclined… matchlessrecordings.com/music/issue-hand

I can't say anything for this, but I can offer another piece of advice: look for saxophone duets. They have very similar ranges/behaviours to oboes, so anything for two Altos works quite nicely for two Oboes/EHs, and anything for Alto/Tenor works quite nicely for Oboe/EH

@@TheodoreBrown314 touche! I love using the Bugs Bower bob duets for some fun reading

Hi @jackiebrot959 I love the Bugs Bower duets for the saxophone and oboe family. Works great for pairs of instruments!! qpress.ca/product/bop-duets-bugs-bower-pdf-download/

@@akruziki thank you so much!!! i will definitely be purchasing and trying these out :)

@@UUpianoman I agree 100% - thank you UUpianoman!

@@saxophonistscorner thank you so much!

Thank you! 😊

You’re so welcome. I miss Chuck everyday🙏🏼

Hey Geoff, nice to hear from you! It’s been awhile since I’ve hopped back on UA-cam. Appreciate your kind words. Are you still in MI? Feel free to send me an email direct, would love to hear from you: akruziki@gmail.com

Thank you Nessa Ray! Music has amazing powers🙏🏼😻❤️‍🔥

Hahaha thanks Andy! This was an attempt at fixing the my take, after I had realized that the bass was out of tune by aboutna quarter step. Lesson learned, don't assume to trust ears when we have a tuner at our disposal. In post I tried to fix both the bass and my vocals. I guess it's still audible hahaha. Here's to getting better at music production.

I dig it! Now hire me. Damnit!
