Product Description
The xiao, or Chinese shakuhachi, is made of bamboo and originated over 2000 years ago. It was some time during the Tang and Sung Dynasty when the vertically-played instruments were categorized as xiao and those horizontally-played as dizi. Good for playing lyrical melodies. (synonyms: Dung xiao)

I bought this item as an entroductory instrument for meditation music. The condition of the instrument for the price is good except the notes are off. It takes a little bit of practice to play it and is very sensetive to movement, which changes the sound. All in all it is not bad for the price

Okay, it came in a very long box, good condition, surprised it was pure polished bamboo, and when i opened it up, i tried playing it and it produced no sound so i freaked out of course. but after an hour or so of tinkering with it, i finally got it to make a noise. just look up how to play it on google, it really helps. when you do finally get it to produce the harmonic sound its meant to, keep practicing to keep it there. it makes a beautiful melody, and when you master it you can do some great solos. very hard though to learn though, but don't give up!! notes are VERY low though, so if you want something more cheerful get the dizi. playing a happy tune with this can be quite challenging.
