  • Showing you the difference between dizi and xiao (Chinese flutes). Both of them can be made of wood, bamboo and other materials, but the way how they work is what make them different. Dizi and Xiao are both fun musical instruments to play with, but if you are just starting to learn these things, you might have a hard time blowing the first note!

    Can i play the same music with both? For example if i wanted to play a song like "Wizard of Oz" by Chen Yue which was played with a Xiao, can i also play it with a Dizi?

    • @Dyasaraujo
      @Dyasaraujo Před 7 lety +2

      I know i'm too late but, he says in the video that the fingering is the same so it wouldn't be much different

    • @ben_patel
      @ben_patel Před 6 lety +2

      Sorry for replying too late too. But, it's wrong, the fingering is totally different. A xiao requires 6, 7, 8 or 9 fingers to play (usually ppl play the 8-hole ones, the Vietnamese ppl even create the 10-hole xiao, the 11-hole xiao and the 12-hole xiao which are much more difficult to play). A dizi requires only 6 or 10 fingers.
      Here are some pictures to demonstrate my point:
      +) 8-hole xiao: kenhtieusao.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/he-bam-thang-am-tieu-bat-khong.jpg

    I have a Chinese flute bamboo but my mouth piece is very different then yours. Can you help me identify it? It is 3 different pieces. The blow hole is in a metal section and the hole is more of a slit and not a hole. On the other piece there is a fancy chunk that I think is what causes the sound.

    What is the difference between the 8 hole XIAO and the Recorder.

    • @BiologicalClock
      @BiologicalClock Před 3 lety

      The recorder has a mouthpiece that is placed inside of the lips and is very easy to get a sound out of. The Siu/Xiao has a slotted opening that requires air flow to hit the opening at a specific angle in order to create sound.
