The duduk's warm sound connects with both enjoyment and deep meditation, making it integral to Armenian cultural events and international film soundtracks.

In fact, it would not be an overstatement to say that no wedding ceremony, festive occasion, or family gathering would be complete without a duduk player. The duduk has been used in many western-made films; particularly it has been used in film soundtracks for "The Last Temptation of Christ", "The Crow", “Gladiator”, “Titanic” and "Ronin".
