Chinese flute or bamboo flute is a wonderful sounding device. In order to maintain a good state and enjoy it for many years to come, there are 12 things you need to know to take care of and maintain the flute.
1. from
The flute is made of bamboo, so it is more fragile than the western flute.
2. from
When the flute is exposed to very cold weather and then the temperature is set warmer, the bamboo may swell and crack.
3. from
However, usually better Dizis are those that are easy to crack because the bamboo is older and drier. The longer Dizis are, the more likely they are to crack.
4. from
If the flute breaks, rub the crack line with super glue. Dry the dry glue with fine sandpaper.
5. from
If the crack is large and deep, use a combination of shavings and glue to fill the crack. Otherwise, send Dizi to a professional for repair.
6. from
Dizi can still play and may even sound better, even if it has been cracked and fixed before.
7. from
However, if the crack is located at the film hole, it may be more difficult to fix because the unique "dimo" sound may be affected due to the unevenness of the crack line.
8. from
If your flute has a copper adjustment joint, be careful when dividing the flute into 2 parts to store the flute. This exposes the copper tuned connector to possible damage, so Dizi may not work properly.
9. from
Use 'E Jiao' [skin] and water to paste the flute film. Do not use saliva.
10. from
Do not rinse the flute with water as the water may seep into the bamboo and affect the tone of the instrument. After use, wipe off the excess saliva with a cloth and put the flute into the bag.
11. from
To keep the flute dry and clean, put a bag of silicone in your flute bag. If you want your flute to smell good, you can also try putting a bag of tea into your Dizi bag.
12. from
Most importantly, in order to keep the flute clean and personal hygiene, please use it alone.
