He has, like many of his counterparts, reeds and body. The tone is often described as rich and warm and has a solemn associated with the Oboe family. Like some of the similar tools, it has eight fingers and thumb. But do not confuse it with Duduk West Bulgaria, who is a six -hole member of the Flute family rather than oboe.
