I've had my C YS dizi a couple of days now and I promised a review. I don't understand terms such as temperament or intonation and so won't be using them; and as such this is a layman's review.
The dizi looked different from the photo in the listing, until I angled it as how the photo was taken. It's more yellow and the wood grain is quite prominent.
The first impressions were positive, good tone, easy to play and the highest notes a sinch.
As usual I got my teacher to check it, knowing as a rule he prefers bamboo to wood. It sounded great in his hands. He didn't have any bad things to say about it (which in his eyes mean quite good!) but admonished me gently for buying yet another instrument (he doesn't know I'm also learning the liuqin/zhongruan).
We on this forum seem to view DXH as to which all dizis measure to. Not having a C DXH I can't compare the two. All I can say is if you want another dizi (perhaps in a different key to what you already have) and want to try wood you could do alot worse than mine.
As I said I have yet to come across a really poor sounding dizi and love even my cheapo Carrot C.
I'll definately be using this for my performance in July.
