ARMENIAN DUDUK
Duduk is a traditional Armenian woodwind instrument that appeared in the fifth century.
The sound of the duduk, if not the instrument itself, has become widely known for its use in popular film soundtracks. Beginning with Peter Gabriel’s score to Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ, the sound of the duduk has been used in various genres to portray archaic and mournful moods. Jivan Gasparyan played the duduk in the soundtracks for the films “Gladiator”, “Siriana”, “Blood Diamond” and other films. It was similarly used in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
CHINESE BAWU
Bavu is a Chinese wind instrument. Although shaped like a flute, it is actually a free-reed instrument with a single metal reed. It is played in a transverse (horizontal) manner. He has a clear clarinet timbre, and his playing technique includes the use of a lot of embellishment, especially tonal bends. The bawu probably originated in the Yunnan province of southwestern China. It has become a standard instrument throughout China, used in contemporary Chinese compositions for ensembles of traditional instruments.
Although the bavu is still predominantly performed in China, it has been adopted by European composers and performers in recent years. Rohan Leach from England, Rafael De Kock from Belgium and Hermann Witkam from the Netherlands took the instrument in new directions. Musician Guo Yue, who now resides in England, has long promoted the instrument and plays it on all of his recordings.
CHINESE HULUSI
Hulusi, or gourd flute, is a wind instrument from China. It is held
upright and has three bamboo tubes that run through a gourd windbox;
the center tube has finger holes, while the outer two are usually drone tubes. This
it’s not uncommon for hulusi to only have one drone tube and the second one is external
the pipe is just decorative. The drone tube has a finger hole, which allows
has stopped. Extended configurations have keyed finger holes similar to a clarinet or
an oboe that can greatly extend the range of the hulusi to several octaves.
Hulusi was originally used primarily in Yunnan by the Dai, along with other southern Chinese ethnic groups who referred to it as “bilangdao”. Since then, it has gained nationwide popularity as a harmonica in the West. “Improved” versions were produced outside of native properties. Like the related reed pipe called bavu, the hulusi has a very clear clarinet-like sound.
Although hulusi is still predominantly performed in China, more recently
years was adopted by European composers and performers. Rohan Lich of
England, Rafael De Kock from Belgium and Hermann Witkam from the Netherlands
all took the tool in new directions.

IRISH LOW WHISTLE
Our library is a new generation of Irish Low Whistle with incredible playability and realism. Low Whistle was created using the legato technique. The low whistle, or concert whistle, is a variation of the traditional pewter whistle/penny whistle, featuring a lower pitch and larger size. This is increasingly perceived as a feature of Irish traditional music. In both types of music, low whistling is often used to play arias and slow melodies due to its haunting sound. However, it is also increasingly being played on Irish jigs, drums and hornpipes, as it is easier to apply some decoration on the whistle due to the size of the finger holes. The most common low whistle is “Low D”.
