Bagpipe (unknown type)

Identical types: 100

According to Marcuse the name of a Dagestani bagpipe, oddly referring to Dyudyuk in the »International catalogue of published records of folk music« (1960), edited by Klaus P. Wachsmann; Not encountered in other sources; Probably a misinterpretation of the Caucasian shawm, Duduk (Russian spelling: Дудук), also known as Balaban [Балабан] or Balaman [Баламан]; Podnos, who fails to reveal his source, oddly (i.e. utterly erroneously) considers Dagestan as a part of Georgia, thus complicating things unnecessarily by suggesting that the term is Georgian as well, which it actually is, though (again) not used for a bagpipe!
