Hi everyone, I want to import a Dizi to my country but I can't choose one, my purpose is just learn to play a chinese song called "扬鞭催马" or Video, and this song is commonly played in a kind of dizi called Bang Di, The Jianpu of this song has a 1=D If 扬鞭催马 song Jianpu has a 1=D, I should choose a D Key Dizi , I am Right? With that in mind, I have 2 possible sellers: RedMusic and Eason, but the first seller just offer a dizi with the key that I want, how can I know if that dizi is a BangDi? Could be a Xiaodi or a Qudi too. Please Help  Regards. |

Normally the D dizi is a qudi size. The xiaodi size plays very high, and will be a challenge to play. I don't recommend it for beginners. The qudi D is very useful, and relatively easy to manage for a new dizi player. Since D is such a common key for dizi, I would expect that the normal size will be qudi unless otherwise specified. If the size of the D dizi is much less than 60 cm, it is likely to be a xiaodi. When shopping, the noted length will help you to confirm the actual pitch of the dizi.
I will check this evening to see the key of the tune in the video you want to play. If it is actually in D, then you will need a D dizi to play along with the video. Otherwise, you can get whatever dizi key you want and play the tune in the key of the dizi. That is the handy thing about jianpu notation.
Best wishes,
David

Best wishes, David I will wait your answer, thanks in advance P.d: The dizi that I want is a Bang Di, the same like in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QcJiBlaq2U (In this video, the first song is 扬鞭催马) , however Bang Di usually comes in A, G and F Key, I suppose that I need to ajust the jianpu to these keys. |

I had a look at the YT video; the beauty of that tune requires tongue fluttering. As regards the above vendors, both are good and will do any dizi in whatever key you wish.

The dizi in the Eason Youtube video is in A. That is definitely a bangdi size. You shouldn't need to adjust the jianpu. Just play the tune as 1 = A, covering the three left hand holes, and you will be fine.
That is a pretty high dizi. I have a bangdi G, and would not want to go higher. The high keys require an experienced embouchure. I also recommend wearing hearing protection. That goes with any dizi though. If your ears ring after practice, get some musician's ear plugs.
Best wishes,
David
