[QUOTE="Axl, post: 3248630, member: 128386"] There are quite a few variations in Chinese flutes... is it end blown or it transverse? Do you blow down the end or do your hold across the lips and blow? Do you know what key it's in? And if it's end blown does it have a reed? One of the big differences with Chinese flutes is that they will have a membrane over a special hole. This provides the signature buzz in Chinese flute playing. But then again Chinese flute playing has a lot of variations.
