◇About the Creator◇
We sell handmade shinobue flutes made by a father and daughter. The father has been a shinobue instructor in Shimane Prefecture for about 25 years and is also a flute maker. We craft shinobue and kagurabue flutes from female bamboo (shinodake) that grows along the Shizuma River (formerly Ginzan River), which has been dried for over 3 years.

◇Description◇
The 3-hon-joshi (key of G) is a flute whose length is just enough for an average person's fingers to reach. It produces a resonant low tone and a unique, breathy high tone, making it a flute that any shinobue player would want to try.

A weight of approximately 20g is inserted into the head of the flute to ensure stability when playing.
The reflector in the embouchure has been reinforced with putty to prevent melting even in the summer heat.
The binding thread has been coated with transparent lacquer for a beautiful and long-lasting finish.
The flute is tuned to produce tones from Ro-on (1st octave) to Ko-on (2nd octave) and even Dai-ko-on (up to the 4th octave) by adjusting breath strength.
The tuning is set to the Western scale of G major (which corresponds to the shinobue's 3-hon-joshi) and tuned to Ko-on (2nd octave) with a tuner at 440Hz, allowing for ensemble playing and performance with other instruments.
