It almost sounds like a samurai soundtrack. I imagine large bamboo trees all around, cicadas chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling, and you and me, walking towards each other with paintball guns :P good playing mate!
Thank you for the guide. i want to learn how to play dizi. I've been thrilled at soundtracks played in some Wuxia dramas. It followed that I am curious as to what kind of flute they used for those soundtracks and I did some research. Thanks again for the tips.
Thank you for this video! I live in the U.S. and I didn't know whether to buy bamboo or buy wood. I bought wood, but wasn't sure if I should've. I'm glad you mentioned the difference in climate and why wood is more suitable for this area. And thank you for the guidance! :) I can't wait to get started!
I'm working on Irish flute at the moment, and I just wanted to thank you because watching how you hold your left hand helped me figure out a better hand placement on my flute. 😊
Thank you for your help about putting the tape on! Wow! What a difference..It sounds amazing! I thought it was just me and I wasn’t playing that well but now I know how beautiful I can make my flute sound now! 😮 Since you have told us all that message about the tape, I always tune into your podcasts!..They are amazing and so informative! Thank you so much for your time!..It means so much to all of us!😊
Thanks for the breathing tip- I forgot about breathing from my nose instead of mouth. It really helps. You play beautifully. How do you get that reverb- is there a microphone out of our view?
amazing man! by the way u so right im saying that also to everybody it doesnt matter if its an professial or not u have to know the tecnique and learn how to play whatever instrument it is.
Hi i lover your Videos and i love this Relaxing Music but where do you have These notes from like i want to Play this too so do you have any Website where i can learn these cool tones ? :)
Aye my dog dubbed over him playing with audio from an actually player. Lmao. Still love this guy and respect his play!! Will continue to learn from him. That room ain’t big enough for no eco like that though. 🤣🤪
Hi there! I'm living in Taiwan and I got to a music shop,having Soo much choice of flutes and being me at that time still unable to blow more than some improvised note I bought an f key flute wiCH looks great for bringing around everyday to play outside Well that said, Id like to say that I enjoy the spirit u put in this videos very much and apreciate the unformal tips too Do you think an f key was that bad of a choice? I like it pretty much but I must say I find myself dizzy very fast trying to do the higher pitch notes Thanks for ur attention and ur help!! Cheers
What if the dizi is plastic. And why did you start playing the dizi? Also your extremely good at playing it. I'm quitting beri-sax, the supplies was for it was EXPENSIVE, to play a dizi so hopefully I'm good at it.
hey man first i love your videos. and there is a dizi solo in one of the couching tiger hidden dragon soundtracks, i believe it was "to the south". what type of dizi was that?
If you're stuck on using tape, but want good demo-like sound out of it, you can try using kapton tape. It's for soldering and whatnot, but it's got a similar effect to the demo.
Hey there, I am really enjoying all your video's. I just bought my first Dizi and you really give the best info about the Dizi. I have a question: I hear in this video you use a reverb sound effect with your Dizi, what recorder did you use? What program did you use to make that reverb effect? Also, what does a plugable Dizi means?
Vortrex99999 um.. the recorder or device I use is a fancy one, but you can record with other stuff and do the same thing .. what you need is adobe soundbooth, and I am using the CS5 version, you can get that reverb done very easily, but the program is VERY pricy pluggable dizi are the sectioned dizi, those you can pull apart into 2 parts or even 3
Chiinnature Thanks, I have another question. I have many chinese (studio) songs with lots of Dizi solo's in it. But sometimes I hear a very awesome technique/sound coming from the dizi. So I looked up and find out it was called flutter-tonguing. Well that's how western flute people call it. Here is an example: youtu. be / 0NrVkl9_B6w?t=1m53s (remove the spaces) Listen until exactly 2:16, then you hear that sound. It really resembles a pack of birds like the ancient Dizi was meant to sound. So I was wondering, because nobody does this in live music with the Dizi; do you know someone who can do it? Or a live video from someone who does that sound?
I got a black dizi from a nice guy's business in china and I put clear tape on it, but mine does not sound like yours naturally. I might have issues with air, but it just does not make that instant melow soft tone that you make? what do you think? :(
Wow :O I though that dimo is necessary for producing sound. Getting a pack of membranes is quite tricky in my region (well, paying shipment which is actually nearly more than three times as expensive as a single pack is the only way how to get it), so I hesitate about getting dizi and learning to play it. If it is really possible to produce a good sound with just a regular sticky tape, I would say my dizi is on the way :3 Thank you for your videos, the are really helpfull. And one more thing, could somebody give me a better tip about that tape? Like if it should be strechy, or not, thin, or something more like an electrical wiring tape... :D
+Tomáš Kučera use a normal tape and cover that hole, it works and will produce a very nice sound too, the kind of tape you need is the normal cheap tape and not the fancy thick ones or anything like scotch tape.. keep it cheap!
I just got a dizi yesterday in the mail and I tried setting it up as soon as I could. I think I've managed to set up the dimo correctly because I can make good sounds. I've already managed to figure out how to play the higher notes and now I can carry basic tunes. I don't actually know if I'm doing it right, but I've managed to make good (?) sounds, so I think it's okay?
I bought a wooden flute (dizi) . The 3rd finger hole is spaced further from 2nd hole . Hole 1, 2, 4, 5 , 6 are spaced closer together. Is the 3rd hole supposed to be like that ?
hi bro .. I just listened to this like 10 plus times ... I will be needing your advice which one to offer and if you recommend me a dizi and also which note dizi are you playing in this video ?? thanks
Hi sir. I just bought my first dizi and played it for a month. Then i've noticed that its a little bit curve its like a parentesis ( but not too much. Does it affect the sound of my dizi?.
I am very keen to finish listen to your video till the end, but I switched away one-third of the way after hearing you clearing your throat many times into my ears... sorry !!! ... 😆😆😆
It almost sounds like a samurai soundtrack. I imagine large bamboo trees all around, cicadas chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling, and you and me, walking towards each other with paintball guns :P good playing mate!
Airgun n00b LOL!! Thanks man! Paintball gun and SUMMARIEsi.. lol..!

+Chiinnature thank you very much

I was kind of loosing motivation but this song gave me hope
hi Mr. Mak, do you have any recommended music pieces for beginners? Thx!!!
republic0316 beginners - don't play by a script, play be your mood, play as you listen and music is there for you.
Yeah, that's what dizi is all about, thank you!
Wow :O I though that dimo is necessary for producing sound.

+Chiinnature OK, thank you ;)
Hello! I have a dizi thats slightly out of tune. Ia there a way of tuning it?
what kind of oil can i use for the inside of the flute? links will be usefull, thanks buddy.
+Yang Xiong mineral oil or linseed oil is fine~ (boiled linseed) you can buy them from hardware store
+Chiinnature awesome ty!!
I have a question about the oil
Can I use Wood Furniture Polish for the inside of the dizi?
I just got a dizi yesterday in the mail and I tried setting it up as soon as I could. I think I've managed to set up the dimo correctly because I can make good sounds. I've already managed to figure out how to play the higher notes and now I can carry basic tunes. I don't actually know if I'm doing it right, but I've managed to make good (?) sounds, so I think it's okay?
you may check the sound is correct or not.
Very nice flute, how can I buy a flute like that.
www.amazon.com/Beginners-Membrane-Protector-Traditional-Instrument/dp/B07DC4Z7XR/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?keywords=redwood+dizi+flute&qid=1581026708&sr=8-1-fkmr1
this is best, gives you most for the money and decently priced. you can get different keys as well with this company.
Which one is goog for beginners
How do you do the vibration when you blow in it
It's like natural vibrato like when you sing. Breathing control
I bought a wooden flute (dizi) . The 3rd finger hole is spaced further from 2nd hole . Hole 1, 2, 4, 5 , 6 are spaced closer together. Is the 3rd hole supposed to be like that ?
Can you share the Amazon link of this flute?
Also where I can find this flute ua-cam.com/video/sW8dvj-cn64/v-deo.html
hi bro .. I just listened to this like 10 plus times ... I will be needing your advice which one to offer and if you recommend me a dizi and also which note dizi are you playing in this video ?? thanks
Thanks for your kind reply
I will be buying one soon :) Or Two dizi one in D and Another in C note :) any recommendations for me ?
Where can one buy such flutes?
um.. there are many online stores that sell these, one place you might wanna try is redmusicshop.com :)
that was beautiful
is this key of C dizi?
yes
Also does it only has 6 holes but if the Dizi was in C key, playing no holes covered it would make a B note, right?
Hi sir. I just bought my first dizi and played it for a month. Then i've noticed that its a little bit curve its like a parentesis ( but not too much. Does it affect the sound of my dizi?.
great video! what key is your Dizi in this video?
thanks~ E key
I actually have the EXACT same flute as you except in a C key.
Hi ! Could you tell me where did you get it please ?
Hai, I just bought a Chinese Bamboo flute, just learn how to blow it properly. Need your assistance....
I dont intend to bash or anything but i just noticed. Is that a gun behind him? On the table. Anyways good tips on dizi
Sounds like a shakuhachi music
I am very keen to finish listen to your video till the end, but I switched away one-third of the way after hearing you clearing your throat many times into my ears... sorry !!! ... 😆😆😆
Wow I’m trying to learn and you curse!! Come on 2020
