HISTORY<br />
As a versatile professional musician and solo<br />
flutist in various orchestras, Mr. <strong>Di</strong> <strong>Zhao</strong> was<br />
keen to build outstanding student flutes in<br />
his workshop, which he founded in Boston<br />
in 2006. <strong>Di</strong> <strong>Zhao</strong> himself has mastered every<br />
aspect of flute making and has worked with<br />
many renowned instrument makers.<br />
His profound knowledge of music and craftsmanship<br />
helped to shape the development of<br />
the models. The headjoints, made in Boston,<br />
contribute significantly to the special sound<br />
and the excellent acoustic properties, from<br />
high-quality flutes for beginners to alto, bass<br />
and handmade concert flutes in all price<br />
categories: <strong>Di</strong> <strong>Zhao</strong> is a manufacturer with an<br />
excellent selection for every musical taste!<br />
All <strong>Di</strong> <strong>Zhao</strong> flutes (except Junior) are equipped<br />
as standard with Pisoni deluxe pads, E-mechanism,<br />
offset G and are delivered including<br />
swab, wooden case and case cover.
