| | The Chinese membrane flute (dizi) |
 | | Traditional dizi music reflects a general aesthetic tendency in traditional Chinese music that a skillful musician should produce various timbres with a single instrument. | | | This is in a contrast to Western music, where a variety of musical textures and timbres is achieved through combinations of several instruments. | | | Because the membrane brings a bright timbre to the flute, it can be clearly heard by all performers and the audience, even when the singing and the percussion instruments are fairly loud. |

| | The di, a transverse bamboo flute of the Han Chinese, is one of the most popular wind instruments used in various Chinese music genres such as folk, traditional theater (xiqu), and modern orchestral music. | | | In the ensembles of traditional folk music and xiqu, the gongchepu (Chinese character notation) was the dominant notation system used by di performers, as well as other traditional instruments. | | | In the course of the twentieth century, the di was gradually elevated as a solo instrument in concert music compositions and began to play an important role in modern Chinese orchestras. |

| | The discovery of these flutes presents a remarkable and rare opportunity for anthropologists, musicians and the general public to hear musical sounds as they were produced nine millennia ago. | | | Tonal analysis of the flutes revealed that the seven holes correspond to a tone scale remarkably similar to the Western eight-note scale that begins "do, re, mi." This carefully-selected tone scale suggested to the researchers that the Neolithic musician of the seventh millennium BC could play not just single notes, but perhaps even music. | | | To hear an audio recording of the flute, go to http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/flutes.html on the World Wide Web. |

| | But the fact that the playable flute had a carefully selected tone scale indicates that the Neolithic musicians may have been able to play more than single notes, but actual music. | | | In order to better analyze the music of these bone flutes, Chinese scientists plan to create replicas of the instruments. | | | Last month and 9,000 years later, a musician picked up the same ancient instrument and played a Chinese folk song using that extra, pitch-correcting hole. |
