Wooden woodwind instrument finishing
Hi everybody here. I have make an apricot wood woodwind instrument called Duduk. Now i want to finish it but i don't know what is the best finishing for apricot wood. As an instrument it shouldn't wear out its color so early. Please tell me a finishing type that can give longevity to its natural look. Thanks in advance.

Apricot oil if you can find it, Almond oil if you cannot. Any pics of the duduk?

Very nice! I'll bet they are loud too! There are a lot of finger holes, are there thumb holes as well, and what is the fingering for your duduks?

Hello, burraboy. Duduk is one of the most famous woodwind instruments by nations. It is Armenian. You can listen to it in the following links:

Wow, the Duduk certainly has a great sound, thanks for posting the link Vardges, a beautiful piece of music.
I can't help with your finishing question but I hope you get it sorted out.

Nice piece of music, the dukuk and violin sound surreal together.

Hello Vardges
Almond Oil is the traditional finish for woodwind instruments.
