A nice xiao, comes with a detailed package. For someone who is interested in the Chinese engraved letters, it is "青山隐隐水迢迢，秋尽江南草未凋，二十四桥明月夜，玉人何处教吹箫。" Written by Mu Du, he is a famous poet from Tang dynasty.

Perfect Xiao for me as a beginner. It took me a while to blow sounds out of it. But the low sound “so” of with all holes covered is manageable after practice.

I have never played the flute before so this was a first try for me. After some fiddling it makes a nice sound and plays well. The sound is very airy and it responds well to overblowing. The only thing I do not like is that after a few minutes of playing, the flute starts to smell and taste like coffee. As a dizi beginner there were very little instructions with the flute, no fingering chart, nor any instructions for how to apply the dimu membrane. I decided to use a piece of tape instead which has worked well for learning.
