RE: dizi fingering chart

I haven't look into this forum for the past 3 weeks and sorry for the late reply.

It is difficult for me to teach a beginner to play dizi through a forum like this one. Personal lessons are necessary to explain in detail the embrochure and fingering technique. However I'm in Hong Kong and so it is not possible to do so. All the instruction books in dizi available are all in Chinese and I think I'll translate one of these when I have the time.

Thanks Anders, Melvin and Vivian in asking me questions.

Sorry Anders, I don't know a site with instruction in English.

Melvin, I've already post a dizi fingering chart on the
2nd thread of this topic, you may check it.

Vivian - a dizi can play half tones by cross fingerings. However,the half tones produced are either too flat or too sharp. Moreover, in Chinese Music, there is rarely a sharp or flat in most pieces. The player uses dizi in different keys to avoid playing those sharps and flats when transposing.

Hope this helps.
