Armenian duduk has truly become a part of daily life in Armenia. 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".
