Parkapzuk
The parkapzuk (Armenian: Պարկապզուկ) is a droneless, horn-belled bagpipe played in Armenia. The double-chanters each have five [1] or six finger-holes, but the chanters are tuned slightly apart, giving a "beat" as the soundwaves of each interfere, resulting in a penetrating tone. Researchers in 1996 and 1997 noted they recorded one of the last active pipers of that time.[2]
Some sources indicate that the parkapzuk is single chantered, while others indicate it is double-chantered like the tulum.
