The Chinese bamboo flute, or dizi has a history of over 2000 years. It is a small, commodious pipe that is played horizontally and gives rise to a resonant and clear sound. Dimo or flute membrane is stuck over the dimo hole on the instrument for it to create it is unique, penetrating tone. When played, the sound from the instrument is produced by the vibration of air columns within the bamboo flute.

Below is an introduction of the anatomy of the dizi.

- There are when it comes to 10 holes on a normal C Key Chinese bamboo flute, dizi.

- The 1st hole on the far left of the flute which is a distance away from the rest of the hole, is called the ‘mouth hole’.

- You place your lower lip at the edge of the mouth hole, versus the dizi.

- Air is blown directly all over the hole.

- The hole next to the ‘mouth hole’ is called the ‘membrane hole’, or the ‘mo kong’.

- This is where you stick the flute membrane called ‘dimo’ over the hole to construct it is bright and discerned timbre.

- Some Chinese bamboo flutes may have copper joints in amidst the ‘mouth hole’ and ‘membrane hole’.

- When you twist the copper joint of the dizi outwards, the pitch becomes flat.

- On the other hand, when you twist the copper tuning inwards, the pitch becomes sharp.

- Twist the dizi isolated rather of pulling as you may harm the copper joint.

- After the ‘membrane hole’ comes 6 other holes which are the finger holes.

- The last 2 holes at the end of the dizi act as air vents. They affect the overall pitching of the Dizi but you may leave them alone.

- If the dizi is in the key of C, covering 3 holes will give you the C note while covering all holes will give you the G note.

Infinity Flute – Reliving my youth!
By Ingrid Bruns
I purchased this flute for myself. It is beautiful! I am 40-something and have a family. My children play the violin and I have been wanting to play music with them. I played the flute from 4th grade through high school, but foolishly sold my flute when I graduated. This beautiful and high-quality sounding flute has enabled me to relive my youth and to make gorgeous music with my children.

Good Music for the Money
By M. A. Bradac
I’ve owned this flute for over a year, now, and have been perpetually impressed with it is tone, workmanship, and appearance. The cork stops tend to come off a little too easily, but alternate cork bits are included. This is an splendid starter or exercise instrument, particularly for it is price. Highly recommended.

Lovely Flute
By A. Burstall
I purchased it for my daughter who started in the Jr High band, thinking it was a low-cost way to judge if she were fascinated in continuing or not. Despite the low price tag, it has a lovely tone, makes a perfective starter flute and my daughter loves it. It was for less to order this flute, which she may have forever, than to rent one from the school for the year.
