Virtual dizi
Tap a note, or play it on your keyboard, and hold it as long as you like. The picture shows which holes to cover for each note. Where your device can show it, it's a virtual 3D player: two hands play every note, so you see each fingering and how to hold the instrument.

On a computer, play with your keyboard: each note shows its key. The letters are the notes' names (C plays C); hold Shift for the higher ones, and the numbers play the sharps and flats.
The sound is made in your browser: close to the real instrument, not the same.

StartHow to hold your dizi, in 3D
- Hold it to your right, the mouth hole at your lips: your left hand, nearest the mouth, covers the first three finger holes, your right hand the next three.
- Cover the holes with the flat pads of your fingers, relaxed; your thumbs rest underneath and, with your chin, keep the flute steady.
- Between the mouth hole and your fingers is the membrane hole, covered with a thin film: it buzzes as you play, and that bright sound is the dizi's own. Keep your fingers off it.
Turn the 3D hands with the round buttons: from the front, from the back (where the thumbs are), from above and from below.
