Dizi's Dimo (Chinese Bamboo Flute's membrane pasting) with Tim Liu
Dimo selection, pasting, and adjusting is a vital part of Dizi's tone quality, yet lots of beginner Dizi players cover the MoKong (Membrane hole) with all kinds of paper, then wonder "Why does my Dizi sound funny?".

This video is boiled down from over 25 years of Dimo pasting experience. In 35 minutes Tim Liu will show and tell you all you need to know about the Dizi's Dimo. For example, did you know that you are supposed to give Dimo a massage before pasting it on? Or that it is necessary to make some wrinkles when pasting the Dimo? This video (available in VHS or DVD) is now ready to ship. For more information or to order, Contact Us and specify VHS or DVD.

Your choice of DVD or VHS.
