Among Japanese flutes, shinobue is the most popular and familiar to common people. Its traditionally been played in hayashi style ensembles at local festivals and in ensembles accompanying local theatre. The general public also used to sing folk songs with shinobue accompaniment before the arrival of western instruments. Recentry, this traditional Japanese instrument is experiencing a revival through taiko groups. In a taiko ensemble, its warm and nostalgic sound will add a beautiful melodic taste accompanying with the dynamic taiko beats. Let's try it now!! This is our original bamboo shinobue, Shinobue Furyu. It has been sold well since it was released. Furyu-8 is tuned in a diatonic C scale. Bamboo-made shinobue is easier to make sounds than plastic-made one. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness."Very nice traditional beginner bamboo Shinobue (Fue). Correct fingering holes for proper hand position while playing...."
