These Chinese xiao flutes are made with
queens tears bamboo (Xiang Fei) found in Hunan, China. Xiao maker Fan
Di Zhi makes top quality flutes with beautifully mottled bamboo. Queens'
Tears Bamboo flutes have solid tones and smoother strength controls, and
are easier to play. Queens' Tears Bamboo flutes are not susceptible to
humidity change and cracking is less likely to happen. In fact in Fan's
experience cracking never happens. Queens' Tears Bamboo over 3 years of
age is having higher density than other bamboo types of the same age.
It is very sturdy, so the xiao and dizi made with Queens' Tears Bamboo
have better resonance and higher sensitivity. The tones are deeper and
stronger.
