I was curious about the first two characters in 洞庭秋思 that translate to Dongting and the last two to autumn reflections or melancholy. Turns out 洞庭 is the name of the lake in question, that is to say lake Dongting located in northeast Hunan province. 非常好听
Hi Dennis, Thanks for playing. It's great play, I feel so peaceful with this wonderful music. I am a beginner Xiao player from Singapore, is this Widesound xiao good for beginner? Or I shall get a traditional bamboo xiao? Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your kind words. The Widesound xiaos have their benefits, and they also have a beginner range. But I would advise starting with a traditional bamboo xiao and get comfortable with it as much as possible first. Bamboo is still an unbeatable material for xiao for many reasons.
Thanks Florin! I’m using a non-traditional modified xiao flute here. It is made by the company Widesound (wsound.cc) and is a recent model from their ’Kui’ series, which I found surprisingly easy to play.

曲幽声远
天高云淡
秋日洞庭
何人哀然
Very well played Dennis. Autumn is a magical season. Your music reflects that.
Thanks Azalea 😊
深夜听之，心旷神怡.

Wonderful.

Where can one get an instrument like that?

@@dktlxiao Thank you for the reply, I will have a look!
WOW, this is so good. By the way, may I ask who the maker of your xiao is?
I found it in your reply to other comments! Thanks anyway.
非常喜欢您的演奏。请问您的箫是什么牌子的?
感谢您的赞赏John！这个视频里用的是个改良金属箫，是泛响的《夔》系列(www.wsound.cc/productinfo/1857984.html)。我是特地想尝试下金属箫能不能有效地体现这首古意浓秋曲子。
What kind of xiao is it?
