DiZi have an very simple structure: 1 blowhole, 1 membrane hole, 6 finger holes, and two pairs of holes in the end to correct the pitch and hang decorative tassels.
History of Chinese Flute


This are over 9,000 year old chinese flutes, made from the wing bones of the red-crowned crane and carved with five to seven holes, were found at the village of Jiahu in the Yellow River Valley of China. The second flute from the bottom can still produce music without signs of strain.

A flute was found in a tomb of Eastern Han (206 BC - 9 AD) with an extra hole, perhaps for pasting a memberane
Two bamboo flutes (one long, one short) were found in a tomb of 168 BC,
Several 7,000 year old small bone flutes were found in Hemudu, Zhejiang province
More than thirty 9,000 year old flutes with five or seven holes were found in the village of Jiahu (Central Yellow River Valley of China).

My thought about chinese flute.
I first saw a chinese flute when i was in primary 3, when i had to chose my cca, the first time i heard the chinese flute sound i am in love with the flute . the sound was so nice and relaxing. That why i have chose chinese orchestra as my cca, and chose chinese flute as my instrument and started my life as an chinese flute player. At first was a tought life for me, because it was my first time playing music, as i do not have music background. The most toughtest thing was reading the music score, as there is flat and sharp in the music score.

My very own chinese flute (DiZi)

                                                          My first chinese flute (dizi)

         These two hole at the back of the chinese flute is use as decro to tie something or make it nice to see.

      The hole without tape on it, is the mouthpiece, the second hole with tape is called the membrane hole.

 This is the 6 finger hole, this hole are use to play different sound , you cover different it will produre different sound.

                          This two hole behind the chinese flute is use adjust different pitch, high or low.

This a chinese flute score.


Secondly i want to intro about my western flute


 Flutes are made of silver-plated metal such as yellow brass, which is 70% copper and 30% zinc. Silver-plating gives the flute a more mellow sound. Most professionals play on solid silver flutes (silver content 92.5%) although some, play on flutes made of other metals. Different type of flute have different , the most expensive type is the silver content.

The flute has three main parts:
Head Joint
On the head joint you will also find the tuning cork which you can move to adjust the intonation of the flute. The lip-plate, also called the embouchure plate, is likewise found on the head joint. The lip plate is where the musician rests his lower lip in order to play the flute. A curved lip-plate is easier to blow than a straight lip-plate. The blow hole, also known as the mouth hole, is likewise located on the head joint. The blow hole is where the musician blows air into in order to produce sound. A larger mouth hole favors low notes while a small mouth hole favors high notes.
Body Joint
This is the largest part of the flute and contains most of the keys. The body joint connects the head and foot joint. The keys are pressed in order to produce a certain pitch. It is important that the key pads and springs are in good condition to produce the proper quality of sound.
Foot Joint
This is the shortest part of the flute that contains a few keys. The foot joint has a rod and it is important for it to be aligned with the center of the keys in the body of the flute.


This is a flute tuner, it is use tune the flute. you can adjust your flute to flat tune or sharp tune. other instrument also can use this tuner to tune.



This is a metronomes, it is use to learn how to follow beats.

This is a group of my band mates, we perform for our school ignite concert. And this is the last time i had play the flute. It was the best concert that i had perform.
The first song was "Over The Rainbow","Hawaii Five-o".

I do not have a person western flute as it too expensive to buy one, this a flute that i own when i was in band.
