Playing sharps and flats on Dizi

[dizi001]

I have a C key Dizi. I was wondering how I can play sharp and flat notes? I know that on some other bamboo flutes this can be accomplished by half covering holes is it the same for Dizi flute?

Yes, you can use half-hole techniques, fork-fingerings or a combination to get the chromatic pitches on a dizi or xiao.
