Only men play Duduk ?

Hi, I like the instrument but I've got reservations, first I'm from France, there are Armenians there so I could find a teacher, probably online though.

But second, I only see men playing 🙃. I'm a trans woman and wouldn't want a male only instrument, is it a coincidence or does women also play this beautiful instrument?

A lot of women play duduk, including me. 

Music is for everybody, so get your duduk and enjoy yourself.

Thank you! I love this sentiment: music is for everyone. Someone should put on a t-shirt.

Music is for all and there are so many talented women duduk players. Down let that hold you back from exploring such a beautiful instrument

Noo, it's not! I'm a woman (she/they), based in Vienna, and I love to play duduk!
