    I see what you're saying about the kazoo-like buzz. It's very unique... and it sounds like you've confirmed what I've heard. It's a challenging instrument to play. BTW, I should have that tongue drum video (the one I told you about) posted within the next hour or two.

      A pleasure indeed. I bumped into your channel having bought a dizi (one that is too long a straight, another the same as your in this vid and another in transit - a rose wood for the flexible UK weather). It took an age getting a decent note but when I did I was off!! :)
      Your vids are great, your personality is grace in itself, a pleasure to watch and thank you for putting the work in. Personally, more on the dizi would be ace but hey, keep on keeping on - you're a blessing to Earth x

    Hi Molly! I play western flute and I have small fingers. I did not expect the hole spacing to be uneven on the dizi. Did you? Do you have any tips? Thank you for this demo! After 2 years I decided to Google how to set up and you inspired me. All set up but now I need to learn the fingering. I have a dizi in a key of c. ❤

    What brand of western flute do you have? Sounds lovely. Have you reviewed a shakuhachi? The dizi is nice but I like the Japanese flutes and Native American drone a little more.

    • @MusicalMollyKhan
      @MusicalMollyKhan  3 роки тому

      It is a Yamaha! It is also 25 years old from when I was in elementary school, so they may not sound quite like that anymore 😅
      I have not tried a shakuhachi but it's on my list! They are so beautiful 😊

    i just mail-ordered from China and received a dizi in D. I expected the lowest note to be a D, but instead it is an A. Why is that? Also, mine seems a little flat to yours. That's with the joint all the way in. Do you think I should complain to the company I got it from?

    • @Makenza_
      @Makenza_ Рік тому

      For Dizis the key it is in is the note that comes out when three fingers are down, so when you have a key of D Dizi, the third finger is a D.

    I have exactly same flute and key your holding. It's probably harder to play than western flute. Right now I'm still struggling to blow it.

    • @MusicalMollyKhan
      @MusicalMollyKhan  3 роки тому

      It definitely takes adjustment! I think western flute is also very difficult for beginners; it's all about taking the time to find the right embouchure. Good luck on your journey! 😊

    • @Nyckelharpabuilder
      @Nyckelharpabuilder 3 роки тому

      Hello Evan, if you are struggling with it I suggest that you put a thin quality clear cellotape on the Dimo hole for the time being. This will help you to get good tones out of your Dizi. Once this works out well for you, you can start to experiment with the Dimo membrane and you are more able to judge what is going wrong.

    I’m a musician...flutist and it does sound cool. What price point is it? Never mind I just looked. But I’m curious what key much of their music is played in because like the penny whistle you need another flute for each key. Did you try any music yet?

    • @MusicalMollyKhan
      @MusicalMollyKhan  3 роки тому

      I have tried some music, it's really not too hard! It is much like the whistle, certain keys are easier on the flute, but you can achieve any note with cross fingerings or half hole covering 😊

  • @Nyckelharpabuilder
    @Nyckelharpabuilder 3 роки тому +3

    Hello Molly, It's pronounced as "dee-zzzzuh"... and since I am nagging already; the set up of your Dimo is a wee bit too slack, making it sound too much like a kazoo :-)

      @@MusicalMollyKhan It's my pleasure Molly. Getting the Dimo right looks way easier as it is. It will help to use the ErJiao instead of garlic, since you can tweak your Dimo just by breathing on it. Anyway, allow it to dry propperly before starting to play. That's important. Keep up the good work! Love, Nikolaj
