moroccan duduk as in austrian bagpipe.
Oddly enough this is actually quite a bad comparison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bock_(bagpipe)
Basically all of Europe (and a fair few places outside of it) has at some point decided that it'd be cool if there was some way to play a woodwind instrument without having to pause for breath. The Scottish ones are just the best known ones, and even then those Great Highland pipes are only one of four types of Scottish bagpipes
As an Armenian, while I enjoy hearing this instrument for things quite different, from deserts to space travel, it's becoming damn irritating that the main Western association with it has shifted to something kinda Arabic.
