hi, I know this might be unrelated to the dizi, but i'm a flute player who has both a western concert flute and a dizi. haven't been playing the dizi much but i have a problem 3rd octave A and Bb keys. It could be my lipping or something, but i've yet to figure it out. Is there a way you could help?

Question. Upon applying the Dimo and trying to get my G (Small Dizi) to sound, I am not getting anything of a sound similar to yours or others I have heard or tried to learn from in programs. The Dizi sounds... Choppy or even Airey.. Do I need to practice more on blowing and gettting the proper sound, or maybe my lips are not as they should be.. It's hard for me to determine.

Thanks for the tutorial, you're a good teacher...for this old soldier.

could you do a video on Scarborough Fair? i was watching a man play an Erhu and he was playing it, so i though it would sound good on the Dizi.

and thanks for the videos!!.

Hello, I wanna know if you can recognize the type of Dizi played in the Okami soundtrack (A game for PS2 and Wii). There are a couple of songs I would like you to check please, depending on this I would buy a Dizi flute for sure, I've got one already but it's in A key and doesn't sound any similar with these songs, These are the names:

Looking up at the Starry Sky

Ushiwaka's Appearance

I wanted to put the links but doesn't work, would you check those songs for me on youtube please? Thank you.
