Keys Introduction

YPXD, also known as Yuping Xiao and Dizi (flute), was first created in 1573. Recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage, it served as a royal tribute during the Ming and Qing dynasties and is a representative brand in the Xiao and Dizi (flute) instrument industry. With over 400 years of vibrant history, YPXD has garnered international acclaim.

In 2006, Yuping Xiao and Dizi (flute) were included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.

It won the silver medal at the International Crafts Exhibition in London in 1913 and the gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, held to commemorate the opening of the Panama Canal.

In 2013, the Yuping Xiao and Dizi (flute) Museum, built on the 200-year-old Yinshan Academy, officially opened to the public.

Purchase Guide

YPXD (Yuping Xiaodi) is a trusted brand. When purchasing, it's important to carefully distinguish between a bamboo flute (dizi) and a xiao. The xiao is a vertically played instrument, while the flute (dizi) is played horizontally. They have different fingerings and timbres, making them two entirely distinct instruments. Be sure to choose the right one for your needs

1. Bamboo flutes (dizi) are available in various keys, including A, G, F, E, D, and C. In terms of sound quality, the ranking is A > G > F > E > D > C. Among these, F and E are the most versatile and commonly used for playing a wide range of songs, with G also being a popular choice. However, keys A and C are less frequently used, as fewer songs are suited for them. When selecting a bamboo flute, we highly recommend referring to the tone guide at the top of the content page, as choosing the right key is crucial for your musical needs.

2. Xiao and bamboo flute musical instruments are made from natural bamboo. The material, color, and pipe diameter of each instrument vary. We guarantee consistent quality for the same model. The product pictures on the page are taken from one instrument and are for reference only. There may be differences in the inner diameter and appearance color between the received instrument and the sample picture. These differences are not quality issues, and we do not accept returns based on these variations. We hope for your understanding.
