Reliable inexpensive dizi for beginner's or more advanced

[dawei]

Since I was posting about flutes in Chinatown SF, I thought I would post since many members have been asking for reasonably priced working dizi for beginner's ( and quite good for more advanced too) are the flutes by

I have C and D key dizis, and want to try an inexpensive E key Dizi.

Is this Dizi good enough to play with it for a while ?

Can we produce reasonably good high octave sounds ?


It is mentioned “Key of F” in the title, and “ Key E” in item specifics of Ebay.

Do you know this is Key E or Key F ?


Thank you

I'm not sure if the other keys are quite as good.

These flutes come from a collective and are reasonably good for the modest price.

When you mention "reasonably good high octave sounds", do you mean the 2nd octave or the even higher 3rd register?

I means 2nd octave. I don’t think I will practice 3rd octave in near future.

I just had response from the seller. It was F-key. Therefore, I don’t need it.


Any way, thank you very much.

These should play the 2nd octave well enough.

Thank you, it is good to know it.



I can produce sounds, but can’t produce rich sounds at the higher part of the 2 nd octave yet with my professional grade Dizi.

Is it normal ?

Yes, it takes time to get a good tone on the higher notes. Make sure your dimo is well adjusted too, if it is too loose those notes are harder to hit. Of course the dimo is too tight, you don't get a good buzzy tone, and make sure you have the wrinkles in the membrane.

Playing long tones on the lower notes will strengthen your embouchure and improve the tone on the upper pitches too.

Thank you very much for the useful information.

I will practice it.
