- Here's a video tutorial on how to make a polypipe Duduk (designed by Linsey Pollak). The body of the instrument is from 12mm ID (16mm OD) polypipe and the reed is made from 13mm ID (14.5mm OD) garden irrigation polypipe. The reed is like a cane duduk reed but in polypipe. The idea came from Xavier Lozano Palay:
• The hidden secrets of ...
thanks Xavi! This video takes you through the process of making the instrument and the reed and demonstrates the sound (which is halfway between the sound of a duduk and a clarinet).

You sir, are a freaking genius.
I must admit, I thought I would sound rubbish, but I was astounded how good that sounded. Lol. Really great job. Thanks for sharing. You made me smile today 😆
absolutely unreal!!!!! WOW
No wo der he is called the whistling buddha in my uni
Thats because the material doesnt really affect the sound.
This is the best diy duduk I have seen ..... thanks for showing us the making of it . Sound exactly like the duduk .
Perfect idea for staying inside! Learn a new instrument that produces a very soothing sound.
My thoughts at this very moment lol. I shall go get started
My God! God bless you my bhother. I love the sound of Duduk but, i don´t have money to buy. I´m brasilian. I'll try to do, thank you brother and congratulations.
SO MANY THANKS! For years I've searched for measurements and instructions on how to make a duduk. Thanks for sharing! As with many things in life, player is the most important aspect on getting a good result, and you're an incredible player that makes it look too easy!
Many thanks for the detailed plans - that'll be very helpful.
I actually have a traditional duduk, but I can't get replacement reeds without paying about as much as a whole new instrument. I've just checked the measurements, and I should be able to adapt this polypipe reed to fit (inside) my duduk. Problem solved!
Here's a little tip to save you some irritation: attach that anvil to a piece of plywood with some bolts (countersunk type, pointing upward so the underside is smooth). To the underside of the plywood, attach a piece of ordinary 2x lumber so it makes a "T" in cross section. When you want to use the anvil, tighten the lower 2x piece in the vise so it doesn't squirm around the bench.
I wasn’t planning on actually making it till you mentioned the exact pipe to get from Bunnings 😭 Thanks
Duduk is Indonesian for "sit". I wouldn't want to sit on this but it makes you sit and listen
Duduk in the language I just made up means "this was a great youtube video, very informative", so this really ended up working out as a great coincidence
You're the best Linsey! Can't wait to try!
I have always wanted a duduk to play that one lullaby from Narnia, thank you for helping me do so!
You, sir, are a genius! Loved your work for a long time.
Im 366th person to like this video. Til the moment, no dislikes. This gentleman is amazing. Thank you so much!!!!!
A beautiful mellow sound. Well done!
Great Duduk hack & beautiful playing. Thank you!
Truly an inspiration. This is bafflingly simple!
This is great, but I think your copper duduk (from another video) sounds even better.
thank you Linsey! I have made my own experiments after finding the original idea video, but now I am inspired to try again.. you did add some things.. I then tried to make reeds for duduks I have from georgia and armenia, but didnt quite get them good enough, though they where playable.. ma by with more hammering experiments I could get them better.. have also tried to make the original reed version, a georgian builder once showed me the whole process.. fascinating! but they are v e r y tricky to get them working well..
WOW I did not expect it to sound that good!
Amazing instrument and beautifully played.
thank you so much ! perfect idea the double reed with the tube !
you're the only one to purpose this !!
This is a must do project. I already tried to do a duduk, always in the wrong way. Its xmas. Im excited!!!
OMG I think this is my dreamed instrument🤤😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks a lot for sharing this video and the instrument that makes our inner voices be heard🤤🤤🤤🤤🙌🖤 Greetings from Costa Rica
Thank You for this beautyfull gift.
I have GOT to make me one of those!
Fantastic work!
Very nice vibrato - well played mate!
Great !!! Thank you so much, Linsey, you made my dream come true !
you are very welcome JeanPaul
Gracias desde Salamanca Mexico
I'll love to make this. Excellent as a project during COVID lockdown.
Brilliant, thanks for sharing
too cool. it sounds beautiful
you sound beautiful! thank you for sharing
Heard you on the melb radio yesterday and very much enjoyed it. Did realise you were in Tanzes Fancy a very inspirational group 4 me. This video is excellent many thanks
Su vídeo es genial ❤
Så many thanks for your genial idea🙂
eres un genio!!
CAN'T BELIEVE HOW EASY TO IS TO MAKE THIS THING!
My friend, thank you so much! i'm going to create a duduk from viraró wood taking your meassurements. Greetings from Argentina 🙌🏾💙
Hello, very nice and amazing sound, innovative and genius, when you listen to the the real sound of authentic Armenian duduk made out of aged Apricot and made by experienced master, in real nothing can imitate the sound of real duduk. Greetings from heart of Armenia, sound was closed enough !
Amazing, thanx for this 😁
Wow!! Amazing!!!❤❤❤
Fantastic video I can't wait to make one
Your knowledge is so refreshing! Thanks. Close up on parts and list of hole bore size measurements would be helpful.
Thanks Linsey!
Tanks you so much, from colombia muchas gracias
Wow! Thank you
Usted es un verdadero maestro, muchas gracias por el material que comparte. Abrazos desde un rincón entre el océano y la cordillera 🙌🏽✨🤗
Thanks a lot for share it!! very nice work.
I gotta do this! Thanks!
this is amazing!!!!
Amazing, great
thank you for sharing
Well done, and thank you so much🎼🎶🎵💙
Oh so beautiful!!
Know what I'm doing this weekend. Thanks :)
ThankU I love the dound. Yani's Orchestra has a Musician who plays a 3000 year old Duduk. I'm looking at purchasing my daughter an Armenian professional Duduk. She plays the Flute x 18 years
Pedro Eustache, from Venezuela, is that duduk player
Brilliant!
Brilliant video thank you! Duduk is one of my favourite instruments, i’m definitely giving this a go. Lovely playing too! Do you do any remote session work?! :)
sorry, no remote sessions
Linsey Pollak that’s a shame! I will follow with interest!
Interesting, I’ve tried making a reed from the handle of a milk jug but never went anywhere with it. Now I’m tempted to make a keyed version of this!
Wow, Lindsey, that's some interesting duduk!! Thanks!
As I don't have the tools to make one, would it be possible to ship one to me?
Awesome jobs you do! And your playing is fab! 👍🎶
this is incredible. and your in Australia?? awesome!!
thanks, I will try again ... already the past years I had purchased some black tube (curved though) and I tried to do it, with little success ... now I could try again, just in these days I tried to make the mouth thinner, and a trumpet-like sound comes out ... but not as beautiful and melodious as yours ... but I guess it is very much a question of ability to play instruments ... however I am going to buy one from Armenia with ebay. ..
Genius
This is incredible, and it sounds beautiful! I'm wanting to make one of my own, but it's pretty difficult to find poly pipe in these dimensions here in the States, thanks to us still rejecting the metric system *facepalm* How would you recommend going about experimenting with hole placement and dimensions to find the right spots? The closest thing I can get my hands on to 12mm ID pipe will be 1/2 inch which is just a little too big, do you think I could work with that and these hole placements and still get somewhere close to decent intonation?
if youre still wondering, start with smaller holes, try about 4 mm or whatever is less than 7 but not absurdly small, then once the instrument is finished, try the low note and make sure its in tune, then then first hole, make that in tune, then the next and so on, getting each hole in tune before starting the next, to pick where to make a hole, try and scale it up with the tube
I read up on this a bit and the radius/diameter _do_ actually affect the pitch somewhat in real life:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_correction
Since the frequency is determined from the effective length basically.
For a closed pipe:
DeltaL == 0.6 * r = 0.3 * D
where DeltaL is the extra length added on from the physical length of the pipe.
So in short for a wider tube you need to slightly shorten the distances by some calculable amount I suppose, and vice versa for a narrower one.
Nice sound , easy to do as explained in your video. I have been hitting the pipe to make the reed but I can not flat it enough. I have used a press to try an flat it, I even applied heat to it and can not make it flat so no sound comes out of it. Do you have any tip you can give to address this?
Bravo 👏👏👏
GENIUOS
Great work! Any suggestions for sheet music suited for this limited octave range?
Armenian Duduk has a magical sound.
❤🙏
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I bought all parts from Bunnings, but have been trying to make the reed for a couple of weeks now, with no luck :( no matter how I hammer, it will not produce sound. Any chance of another tutorial on what to do if the reed does not produce sound? cheers
Awesome. Okay I got a challenge for you: PVC Aulos/Auloi would be badass.
I love this! would you be able to create a double reed aulos like from Greece?
Synthetic wood . Cool
This is b-r-i-l-l-i-a-n-t !!! you should sell them online :) I'd buy one right away
I will make them for sale linsey@spiderweb.com.au
that look at the end haha u know im gonna make a few
If the reed and body were all made from one piece of pipe, construction would be simpler. However, how would it affect the sound?
The instrument will warm up with breath and go flat due to material expansion, so it's practical to have it slide in and out to compensate.
Unfortunately the irrigation polypipe dose not flat in order to make the reed, any other material we can use
In the UK suppliers only seem to sell 15mm and 22mm pex piping. Any ideas on how this could be used or a work around? Great sound.
look for thinner walled pipe than PEX tube (domestic garden irrigation pipe)
May I ask with which formula u calculate the placers for the fingerholes?
How good it sounds better that mine wich I bought on ebay
Very Nice! Living in the US the “normal” pipe we get here is .5 ID and .7 OD. Would you have a method to convert the measurements? They are pretty close. Thanks
I don't have a method for conversion, but if the dimensions of the pipe are close then use my measurements and then adjust them on the 2nd attempt. ie: if the note is too sharp move the hole further down the tube, if it's too flat move it further up the tube
The reed pipe is ordinary 1/2" drip irrigation pipe; I don't know what the body pipe is. It looks like a double layer, with a translucent pipe inside the black one. We've got PEX in the US, so maybe that's all it is.
How long does this reed last? Before it wears out losing proper sound, needing to be replaced. Thank you!
no words
i love this so much, tried to do it at home but found getting the sound out of the reed was quite difficult - any tips?
maybe you need to flatten it even more.
I remember doing this but with drinking straws. you had to flatten them with your teeth a lot of time to get them to sound. this is basically the same but with a giant straw, so I imagine it will take more time to flatten the reed
Fantastic instrument, although I must ask... what is that at the back right edge of your table at 5:26 ?? lol
The Dildophone Mk 69.
How do you do vibrato ? Is it coming because of your air pressure ?
Can I use this poly pipe reed on my wooden duduk?....please answer🙏
By cylindrical tube the waves would be square, right, sir?
Would it be possible to make a bassoon in a similar way?
Is ‘polypipe’ the brand? I tried to look a translation for it up so I can know what to look for in the Netherlands, but all I got was a company.
Is polypipe the same as pex in the us? I tried this with pex scraps because I wanted to use the reed to make a hichikiri, but no dice. Even if I filed it or shaped it, no sound.
Yeah i have problems with the "reed" too
could I technically use this to make bagpipes?
Nice, but you could give us the length of the tube without the bit that makes the sound. I mean the length and locations of the holes in millimeters from top to bottom and also the back hole. And finally, the type of tube you used to make the playing piece I hope you answer and thank you
Come on! The video has all the data. Please watch it before posting
Anyone swedish who knows what kind of pipe the reed pipe would match? Have tried some options but so far everything is not formable enough or too rigid and cracks (even with heat)
Insta sub Waaaaaaaaaaaaauw, very nice!!!
I really want rto make this instrument but i live in belgium and nowone here knows what polypipe is. Anyboddy who knows an other name for or an online shop where i can buy it?
its on sale?
