Dizi

A dizi is a traditional Chinese musical instrument, also known as a Chinese flute. It is typically made from bamboo and has a series of holes along its length that players cover and uncover to produce different notes. The dizi is played by blowing air across a special hole called the embouchure hole, creating sound through a vibrating membrane or directly through the opening. It produces a bright, expressive tone and is used in various Chinese music genres, from folk to classical. Its portability and distinctive sound make it a central instrument in Chinese musical culture.
