The Di Zhao DZW model wood flute has a smooth key action, fast response, and excellent resonance. The grenadilla wood has been carefully selected, treated, and seasoned to resist changes in temperature and humidity. Di Zhao head joints are all hand carved with overcuts and undercuts to give a full and beautiful sound. All pads are partially shimmed, a process that is employed only for professional flutes. Each flute is semi-handmade in that each key is individually hand fitted for a precise fit without the side to side play found in machine made flute mechanisms. Master flute maker, Di Zhao tests and adjusts each instrument in the same manner that the top professional flutes in the U.S. are tested. I personally own one of these wood flutes and love it!
