[RoomTroll]

[tera1320]

EXQUISITE, I'm so glad that this is on Youtube, so sayeth Te' Ra1320 Cyberpunk  Extrodinaire !!!!!

[Niwles]

@tera1320 that's an "extrodinaire" way to spell extraordinary..

i guess this just makes you that more ordinary

[foxtailhxc]

wish i was in china now, and they have the prettiest women!

[jantjesjantje]

I am so proud to be European. Oh my God, what a terrible noise.

Should that sound like a bird?

[UnclePutte]

Heh. What a playful performance.

[flutist4440]

Not so good, i've never heard a bird song that is as good as Peter and the Wolf

[TheStonedSlackerNZ]

look at that comb over

[rlfischbeck]

certainly posted by some one with hair; just you wait ; )

[TheStonedSlackerNZ]

Wait for what? my mother doesn't have any hairloss on either of her X chromosomes where the baldness gene is located.. not even slightly receding hairlines.

I can even add you to facebook and show you the proof if u want me to.

So I won't have to wait...

[linminghui]

[composerrlee]

Thank you for sharing. It's great.

[horrorflesh]

He blows...into the flute..and the flute kinda blows back... 2:06

[Gam3rGirlie]

Anyone know where i can get that style of flute lol? really does sound like a bird XD

[Dragoonat]

its a g key dizi, google eason enterprises , i order off him a lot , so far, hulusi, erhu, and dizi he is helpful and really cheap

[xoMistyheartxo]

China duh XD...

Its really hard to play, especially those high notes. It can plays like up to 5+ octaves.

so far, i can only play 3 on mine T.T

[Gam3rGirlie]

i play piccolo as well, think thatd help? how much they tend to run anyway?

[xoMistyheartxo]

I have had other wind instrument playing experiences. that does help.

by run you mean like cost?

a good one about 500 yuan. ie. 70 or so US dollars

an average one about 100 yuan. 15 US dollars i think? T.T im bad with math.

run as in octaves?

I really dont know. tried google?

[TheTimelessRain]

I don't know how to play piccolo, but dizi music usually not in staff. It's written with numbers (1-6, then 1 with a dot on top, for lower octaves there are dots on the bottom) and with lines under each note to indicate quarter notes, eighth notes, etc. You change the notes by placing your fingers over six holes, three for each hand. There are a lot of trills and grace notes. Experience with wind instruments will probably help you a lot.

[xiaojay888]

@xoMistyheartxo i remember that dizi can at most reach three octaves, and it's not that hard to play

[Tyannalyn]

Sounds heavonly!

[rotkrox1521]

omgosh, i'm so inspired to pick up my dizi's again! i started learning this piece when my teacher gave it to me, but i never got very far in it...

[sarahamew]

I am sooo proud of being a Chinese.

If I have chance i must learn this!! =)

[raachel24biilson]

@sarahamew so you think you're better than everybody else, huh?

[bflattrumpeter]

HOLY CRAP! My sister has one of those, but she's nowhere like that.

[Sinancan93]

oô omg xD

[FreedomSpiral]

Im learning to play one of those =D beautiful instrument

[WangDianshi]

I love Chinese hardcore metal-thrash, and I love this kind of Chinese music too!

[tcrflute1994]

haha, i found that so cool!!

[KELLYTRAM]

Wao, it's amazing. I don't know about flute. I can't clearly tell the sounds are really "bird" or not, but I'm sure only Pros are able to have such a performance.

[futurecullen123]

that's amazing!

[ying4yang225]

well skip u then

[fdfederation]

Lol, imagine raising domesticated song birds over several generations to create an all bird musical band.

[Urdunchimeg]

he is truly wonderous! fantastic technique!

[Dante121892]

I love the sound of bamboo flutes! this music is great!

[stefanvanettinger]

1:55 to 2:20 owned

[jretro71]

My goodness a fantastic birdsong

[erictjie]

[68est]

A divine language? No, a chinese master...

[aaron56333452]

its culture

[leolee2k]

great

[DigitalCyanide]

Watching this video makes me miss living in China. I had a much larger chinese flute made out of bamboo, and it was so hard to play at the age of 11.

All of the Chinese Instruments are beautiful.

[KillerXoX]

dam right bro !

[Dante121892]

RageIncorpoated is half a demon and Adolf Hitler!!!!

[mariannegoesasia]

[chaynamseng]

[Enjoy9R]

That put a smile on my face, very cheerful and childish.

Thanks.

[chrisfam7788]

[animaephan1]

OMG. I need to get my Chinese flute teacher to teach me this...

[maria137b]

[HarajukuGirl4Ever]

Why don't you go choke on a hot dog stupid ass.

[68est]

Read the Bible and the Kama-Sutras, then find a good analyst.

[N0321]

This is more impressive than a Western flute could do! I really desire to learn about traditional Chinese instruments!

[GoolInTheCellar]

Yes NO321, traditional Chinese instruments are very amazing. Such as the Yangqin, Erhu, Dizi... they require a lot of skill to play. That is typical of East Asian instruments.

[KhmerSerey1]

This is soo fucking beautiful man !!

[gariadara]

wow really sounds like birds chirping. awesome virtuoso playing!

[karaann123]

that is the MOST amazing thing i have ever heard played on any kind flute. bravo

[tarzanboy2]

Very cool!!!! Too bad I don't know how to play the Chinese flute. It sounds very peaceful and relaxing.

[animaephan1]

Wow! I happen to play chinese flute too! this is really hard and advanced. this is cool!

[nornornor333333]

cool!

[attaccasubito]

I see. A person has a cat. The cat seems being confused as he hears a birdsong. Then, the person is a dumb. Brilliant! Have you tried the CIA? I mean, if you want to do something interesting with your life, instead pushing down a button at a screen...

[achmedtofly]

So harmonic

[AngelXlovesXfire]

wooooow thats so cool!!!

xDD

[attaccasubito]

Yes, it`s a hard song! I play flute and I have here a chinese flute, it´s really difficult. Not easy. Not at all.

[attaccasubito]

I have a cat here, and when I was listening the music the cat appeared, I think he was confused because he looked like he was hunting or something. Really astonishing. He thought it was a real bird...

[PaperSoapy]

I think you might have achieved the dumbest comment on youtube. Congratulations.

[attaccasubito]

Really? Thank you very much! So kind from you. Although I think you have surpassed me. Don´t be modest, the price is yours.

[jaiind]

what about the mouse u were using? did the cat go for that as well?

[tanhide]

It's.....very....ahahah!!

[kazuratenjo]

its not exactly a hard song...quite fun to play too :P

[buddiha]

[redsoxrrule670]

[seblor]

[jackcsk]

The Birds In The Wood Shadow

[gobbledygookie]

Wow...this music is so...Chinese.

[Statement45]

.........i really get the impression that if i learn how to play like that, that birds will really come flying to me XDDDDD stupid..but SO COOL!!!

[ShellMysters]

Haha I'm just learning chinese flute!

[luci225]

Que liindo!!!Maravilhoso!!!

[kiweefizz]

Omg...I know this song...I tried playing but I take the tempo so much slower than this...yes, I play the chinese flute too.

[oceanparadise]

I love Chinese flute! Sounds sooooo beautiful and pleasant to the ears! As a whole, I love flute! It is just so breath-taking!

[nuannuan1984]

what he timbre is "the birds in the trees"

[Bilacha]

this is such nice presentation which is nostalgic for me way back in late 90s when i was accepted in our local gue-kun (chinese music school) through my godfather. the chinese flute we called tong-shao (i believe it is fookien and not mandarin term) does have a sip sound if you play long enough and in between breaths wouldn't control your saliva from dripping in along with the music.hehe.(in reply to desiderium's comment)

[cacalacapoo]

well the 'zip' sound is produced by tongue and not by saliva..it that happened, a player won't have enough saliva for a concerto!

[desiderium]

there's this funny....zip sound, if you know what i'm talking. it kinda bothers me haha. but i really like it. dont get me wrong i like that sip sound it's just uncomfortable for me to hear. lol

[PicturelyYours]

great timbre, and performance, thanks

[ZhengZheng]

Wow!! So nice!! I really want to learn!!
