Dizi Flute Bamboo Chinese Tuned in A C D E F G

Dizi Made of bamboo also called " Chinese Bamboo flute".  They are blown across the hole. Often they are played with diverse techniques, e.g.circular breathing, overtones, "flying-finger" trill, phlyphony, flattering and double tongue.  Additional to the blow hole and the six finger holes the dizi has another hole, the mokong.  Over the hole a very thin bamboo or rice paper membrane is fixed by a little bit of spit.  This makes a nasal buzzing sound that's resposible for the really unique timbre of a dizi.
