Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • Parkapzuk

    Recently I ordered an armenian bagpipe -parkapzuk- to www.duduk.com, they are in the United States. This instrument has a single chanter, like a pku (pzuk) attached to the bag. I knew that the traditional parkapzuk has a double chanter, similar to georgian chiboni or turkish tulum.

    What I would like to know is if the parkapzuk that I bought is also a traditional kind in Armenia. Also I would like to know where can I find and order a double chanter parkapzuk.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Joan J. Silvestre.

      NB: "tulum in Turkey" would be more accurate than saying "Turkish tulum".

        The "Armenian" bagpipes here have a single chanter, and a drone.
        I've a feeling they are not a traditional design - the tulum in Turkey doesn't have a drone, and neither do all those in old photos of Caucasian pagpipes that I have seen.
        Does your one have a drone?

          Many thanks for the pics, bell-the-cat. I didn't know any of them (in despite of I have searched the net many many times).

          Yes, you're right. Tulum is not a turkish instrument, in the sense that they didn't develope it. Maybe many turks play it in Turkey and Adzerbaijan today, but it is older in origin, played by Pontus greeks, lazuri, abjazian, adzharian, armenian, assyrian... original peoples of Anatolia and Caucasus.

          I see that your pic of the armenian player is of a double chanter (tulum like) bagpipe. Do you know something about my single chanter (pku-like) bagpipe? I find it beautiful with its sound and aspect. I suspect that it is not a traditional form of armenian bagpipe, but really I don't mind. Now I would like to get a double chanter one, armenian of course. I build my own instruments and I have got drawings of tulum with measurements, but I like to collect original ones.

          Thanks a lot,
          Joan.

            I did know this last pic. It is supposed that shows people from Arzakh (Nag-khabg.) in an armenian stamp.

            It is hard to me to believe that the true bagpipe has a drone like that in such position, but really I don't know. My bagpipe has only one chanter and no drone. The chanter and the blow pipe are in both forelegs of the goatskin. In the head position there is a wooden disk.

              I have it as a postcard, without the stamp, but on the back it says "Armenian national costume of Javakhk". Javakhk is the mostly Armenian-populated region in south-western Georgia, north of Armenia's Shirak region.

                Sorry, I don't know anything about the single-chanter ones.

                I've just remembered that last year I saw some bagpipes in a museum in Naxchivan, but I can't remember if they were single or double chanter ones.

                Hemshinli double-chanter bagpipe player:

                The Tulum bagpipes seem to come in two sizes, this is a small one.

                I have got other pictures, but my scanner has not been working properly for the past few months and have not yet got round to buying a new one. So I can't post them.

                  That's funny then. Here is the stamp. It seems that these people live in different regions at the same time!

                    Another postcard, which I have an actual copy of.
                    But because of the scanner problem this is the only picture I can post at the moment.
