Default Bamboo Pruning

I have a Fargesia Murieliae "Willow" which is well-behaved, and
has been in position for about 9 years. I would now like to
thin out the clump a little.

I have read suggestions that it can be pruned in spring, but one
problem I have is that, peering into the clump, I can't readily
distinguish what I should be cutting. Apart from some very thin
and short old dry stems, consistent with its size when first
planted, everything else appears much the same, with stems green,
and about as thick as a pencil.

What should I be cutting out?
