Hi, I think it is a different model. It is 87cm long, in A (the lowest note is E). I have an another xiao which is in F (lowest note is C), 80cm. Both have 6 finger holes.

Very nice!

I just bought a Xiao flute but I can't get a sound out of it :S

is there a trick?

[nurlanbek225]

It takes some practice. Don't give up! Touch the top of the flute below the lower lip. Form the smallest possible circular opening with your lips and inhale deeply. Relax. Blow gently, aiming a thin stream of air directly at the edge of the sound notch opposite where the tube touches your lower lip. Make sure the lowest three sound holes are unobstructed. The thumb and top two sound holes should be securely covered, but don't pinch or apply pressure.

To make a first sound, you may need to experiment with the direction of blowing. Try moving the air stream down deeper into the flute, or out away from it more. Move slowly, small changes make a big difference. With a little experimentation, you'll find a spot where the flute makes a clear pretty tone. Listen carefully to the sound you are making and try to focus it. Do not blow harder until the note sounds pure.

wow man the flute is so so long

[skooterkid]

The actual flute isn't that long. It looks crazy long because of its extended foot joint, the extra length of bamboo at the end. The actual flute ends just below his fingers. :)
