Tüýdük

The tüýdük is an open end-blown flute, usually made of reed and sometimes of wood, with several varieties differing in length and number of finger holes.

Players combine the breath tone with a hum from the throat, so its sound evokes the wind, the desert and a shepherd's solitude.

Historically linked to epic tunes, it is played today in folk ensembles alongside the dutar and gyjak.
