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.

@MusicalMollyKhan 3 года назад

Yes, definitely very challenging! I'll go check it out 😊

@DeadReas0n 2 года назад

Amazing. Love the smile and very informative.

@starman2671 Год назад

Nice Video, Everything you need to know about this instrument is on the DanTang channel. There are all kinds of tutorials, practice lessons, sheet music in western and Chinese etc. I am waiting to receive the dizi I ordered, I'm looking forward to learning.

@DianaMingJeong Год назад

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. ❤

@jofftalbot1348 3 года назад

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

Can you please re share the buying link, it is not showing the page right now

@antoniosdsouza 3 года назад

Hi, could you please explain or share a link that illustrates which hole emits what note. How do I play a D major & D minor scale with it

@Nyckelharpabuilder 3 года назад

Just google Dizi + finger chart, but please mind that the Dizi is not a chromatical instrument.

@mattnobrega6621 Год назад

The positioning reminds me of a fife with a membrane over an extra hole

@Iceland874 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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 😊

@chefryanj2012 Месяц назад

Is the Dizi in the key of D closest to the concert flute key of C?

@hongfei_zhou 3 года назад

The tassel should be tie to the holes at the bottom side (if the finger holes face up side).

@MusicalMollyKhan 3 года назад

Thank you! 😊

@MrHangman56 3 года назад

i got this exact one, but in g cus it's a bit smaller. i haven't really been able to produce a good sound with it. but that's a me not knowing how to breath in it properly than anything

@MusicalMollyKhan 3 года назад

The smaller instruments are a little more difficult to produce a sound on! You'll get it 😊

@paulchubbuck 2 года назад

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_ Год назад

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.

@m2mike38 2 года назад

You really can make some one to laugh even if he or she isn't ready to do so. I don't know if I am wrong to say, "you are notty. I have a exactly same flute I received today from AliExpress. So, I am so desperate of coming to how to play it.

@evanbrencer3374 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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.

@evanbrencer3374 3 года назад

@@Nyckelharpabuilder i knew about that already, it still hard to blow and i still feel awkward holding it.

@Nyckelharpabuilder 3 года назад

@@evanbrencer3374 I am sorry to hear. Are you able to upload a video of you trying to play your Dizi? This can help me to see what is going wrong.

@SharonCullenArt 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

Thank you so much! It is hard to get it exactly right watching videos, I appreciate the feedback! 😊

@Nyckelharpabuilder 3 года назад

@@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
