Xindi (instrument)

The xindi (Chinese: 新笛; pinyin: xīndí; lit. 'new flute') is a Chinese musical instrument. A 20th-century derivative of the ancient dizi (bamboo transverse flute), the xindi is western influenced, fully chromatic, and usually lacks the dizi's distinctive di mo, or buzzing membrane. The xindi is also known as the 11-hole di (十一孔笛).
