Review: An exceptional musical instrument. - I bought a similar bamboo flute many years ago and have played it live and in the studio. People have remarked how beautiful it sounds. I was a bit skeptical about this bamboo purchase. But the actual product is better than my older one. It has a clear bright crisp tone. An amazing bargain!!
Review: Amazing flute for the money - This is so fun! I’ve never tried playing flute before so I’m essentially a beginner to blowhole instruments. This is a perfect instrument for the cost. And it is a low cost! I only just started yesterday so I’m sure with more practice it could sound better. I try to do 2 octaves in the video. The dimo makes all the difference. It sounds better and is easier to produce a tone. The design quality looks like a high quality hand made instrument. The carvings are laser etched then painted. It’s coated in a clear coat and the ends are acrylic or something.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A playable wall-hanger : )
*by W***R on October 27, 2023*

I admit I bought this primarily as a wall-hanging decoration because of its very low price and attractive appearance-- and in this I am not disappointed. I ordered the 'C' flute, which measures 25 1/4 inches long and and 1 1/16 inch outer diameter... 2 inches longer than the advertised size. It comes with ALL the trimmings: two-part jointed (tunable, I highly recommend a light coating of mineral oil on the joint), a very nice looking red knot-tassel decoration, dimo membrane with glue and a vinyl aperture guard. I ignored the membrane and used clear tape over the dimo hole (for beginners: that hole must be covered for the flute to be playable). I put all the extras in a drawer and set the flute on my flute collection display (I own a few flutes, as I build them by hand as a hobby). It has attractive Chinese lettering on the front-- which I have no idea what it says (probably something like: This American bought this flute and doesn't even know what this says). ;D This isn't your typical tiny 'piccolo' Dizi. It is a significantly large flute-- which being a Dizi is still an octave higher compared to Celtic flutes of this size (Dizi's are by nature higher-pitched due to their smaller inner diameter). As a display piece, it's gorgeous and well worth the price on that alone. (To be honest, any more expensive and I probably wouldn't have bought it. The price of 18 bucks hooked me.) I did drop it a star for NO INSTRUCTIONS. A Dizi pretty much requires instructions if one is a beginner. My suggested instruction: feel free to use clear tape instead of the membrane; a lot of people do on inexpensive flutes for simple convenience. We're not playing in a concert hall. To the manufacturer: include instructions! It's one sheet of paper. ;D PLAYING: I was expecting it to be 'reasonably' playable... and it is. It took me very little time to adjust to the aperture and finger spacing, after which I was pleased to produce reasonable sound all the way up and down the scale. Of course this isn't professional flute, and doesn't have the vibrant, reverberating tone and ease of play one would find in a $300 Dizi... nor should it be expected to. I had to work to reach some of the notes but still got decent tone out of each note. No note failed... which at this price range is saying something. A flute like this can be both good and bad for beginners. Good because it gives a starting point at a cheap price... and if they learn to play this then they'll do great on a quality flute. Bad because it's admittedly more difficult to play than a quality flute. Still, it played to my personal satisfaction (since I build flutes, I tend to be critical when it comes to tone and playability). So it passes my 'acceptable' test... by a nose. Summary: I'm pleased with the purchase. I don't know how it will hold up over time, if the bamboo will crack (I won't know about that for a year or three from now. It is air-dried rather than time-dried, so we will see)... but the artificial horn ends are very nice looking, the bamboo is a pleasant color, the joint fits perfectly (again, use a little mineral oil), and it is pretty pretty pretty. The fact that it actually plays is icing on the cake. ;D
