Dizi (笛子 )
Not on view
In addition to the blow hole and finger holes, the dizi, also known as the di or ti, has an extra hole covered with a membrane or a tissue-thin piece of bamboo which produces a poignant buzzing tone. There may also be a number of vent holes at the end, from which tassels are frequently hung. Usually made of bamboo and closed at the upper end, this example is made from marble.
