When purchasing a flute, we will always encounter various questions, what tune to choose? How should I choose? Next, let's take a look at the considerations when choosing a flute.

1. Which tune is better for the flute?

Dizi commonly used tones are C, D, E, F, G. In terms of appearance, they become smaller and thinner in turn. Because flutes of different tones have different characteristics, they are suitable for different groups of people to choose.

1. Young children or beginners with small fingers are generally recommended to use F and G flutes. This type of flute has a short body and relatively close spacing between the holes, which is convenient for pressing the holes.

2. Slightly older beginners can choose D and E to tune the flute. The length of the D and E flutes is short and the distance between the holes is suitable. There are many songs for practice. The timbre is close to the human voice and it is widely used. Among them, the body of the D-tuned flute is relatively long, and the distance between the holes is relatively long, which is more suitable for people over 20 years old to learn the flute.

3. Beginners are generally not recommended to use C flute. Because the C tone has the largest internal space, it can store the most breath. If the breath played is not enough to come out through the sound hole, then there is no sound.

4. C, D, and E tunes are qudi, which are longer and thicker, and require more breath to play; F and G are bangdi, whose body is shorter and thinner, which is easy to blow.

2.  The purchase skills of the flute

1. Look at the quality of bamboo. The flute pipe requires solid bamboo (old bamboo pattern) with fine bamboo patterns; the pipe body is straight and round, the thickness is moderate, the head is slightly thicker than the tail, but the difference should not be too large; the inner wall of the flute pipe is smooth and smooth; the whole body is free from moths and cracks etc. phenomenon. When choosing the appearance, although it cannot be judged by the appearance of the flute, a flute with charm is definitely a kind of enjoyment when performing on stage.

2. Listen to the tone. Listen to whether the treble is clear, whether the bass is strong, whether the midrange is gorgeous, and whether the gas is better. The general requirements for the sound of the flute are loose, thick, round and bright, which are not only determined by the quality of the flute itself, but also closely related to the film technology and performance skills.

3. Listen to the pitch. Generally, it can be tested according to the standard flute or tune instrument (such as Sheng, accordion, organ, etc.), and each overtone can also be played to see whether it is easy to sound and whether the sound is clean.

4. Listen to the speed of sound. Generally speaking, it is better to have the breath to the sound, and the pronunciation not to be sluggish.

3. Introduction to Dizi

1. First close the lips naturally, hold both ends of the flute with both hands, hold the head of the flute with the left hand and the tail with the right hand, then place the blow hole on the lower edge of the lips, and then align the blow hole to blow air.

2. When the breath is rushing out, just let the breath pass through a little space, let it become a bundle of air column, and blow it out diagonally below the blow hole. This principle is the same as blowing the pen cover.

3. In order to avoid opening the lips when the breath rushes out, so as to dissipate the breath, the muscles of the cheeks need to be worked hard, and the outlet of the breath should be kept small.

4. When playing the flute, avoid the inclusion of air sounds, so as to maintain the purity of the sound.

5. Practice more with the mirror every day, and realize how to align the air holes to make the pronunciation position accurate, and finally turn all the breath into flute sounds.
