What Is Dizi?
The dizi (Chinese: 笛子; pinyin: dízi), is a Chinese flute, a wind instrument dating back to 7000 BC. The Dizi as we know it today was revolutionised during the Tang Dynasty, the Dizi is made of a thin hollowed bamboo with holes cut into it. The Dizi unlike other flutes, has a thin membrane pasted over one of its sound holes so as to enhance the instrument vibrations and harmonic range. This gives the Dizi its characteristic sound that we all so love.
