Yu Xunfa – Master of Chinese Traditional Music

“The dizi (Chinese: 笛子; Hanyu Pinyin: dízi), is a Chinese transverse flute. It is also sometimes known as the di (笛) or hengdi (橫笛), and has varieties including the qudi (曲笛) and bangdi (梆笛). These names are likely to have multiple spellings, too, depending on the transliteration used to convert from Chinese names.

Nonetheless, dizi seems to be the most common name (and written form) used in the West. The dizi is a major Chinese musical instrument, popular not only in Chinese folk music, Chinese operas, and Chinese orchestras, but also used in music exported to the west. The dizi has a deep, rich history, and a lasting appeal. Traditionally, the dizi has also been popular among the Chinese common people, since it is simple to make, easy to carry, and beautiful when played. Dizi bamboo membraneMost dizi are made of bamboo, which explains why dizi are sometimes known by simple names such as “Chinese bamboo flute”. However, “bamboo” is perhaps more of a Chinese instrument classification like “woodwind” in the West. Although bamboo is the common material for the dizi, it is also possible to find dizi made from other kinds of kinds of wood, or even from stone. Jade dizi (or yudi, 玉笛) are popular among both collectors interested in the almost magical beauty of jade dizi, and among professional players who seek an instrument with look that matches the quality of their renditions. But jade may not be the best material for dizi as, like with metal, jade may not be so respondant to tone quality, unlike bamboo which is more resonant.” – Wikipedia
