Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog! :)
Today, I would like to introduce my Shinobue (篠笛).
Brand: Miyako (京師）
Brand: Miyako (京師）
Miyako's hogaku-cho/uta-yo Shinobue is also tuned in 日本十二律 (Twelve-tone Japanese scale). It is adjusted to play various types of traditional Japanese music.
Miyako's uta-yo Shinobue has high-pitched, elegant and powerful sounds. I can always feel fresh in "her" variety and rich expression.
Hope to see you soon!

Today, I would like to introduce my Shinobue (篠笛).
Brand: Miyako (京師）
Type: koten-cho (古典調）
Choshi: 6-hon (六本調子）
Miyako's koten-cho Shinobue is basically tuned in 日本十二律 (Twelve-tone Japanese scale*) and fine adjustments are made to close its scales to the scales of flutes for Gagaku (雅楽: Ancient Japanese imperial court music ) such as Ryuteki (龍笛) and Kagurabue (神楽笛).
*Regarding the translation for 日本十二律, I tentatively described it as above. Currently, there is no appropriate translation for it on websites or books.
I use this for playing Ohayashi (お囃子), Japanese festival music.
It is most suitable for playing alongside Taiko (太鼓), Japanese drums as you can create very dynamic sounds with them.

Brand: Miyako (京師）
Type: hogaku-cho (邦楽調)/uta-yo(唄用)
Choshi: (from the top) 6-hon, 7-hon, 8-hon (六本調子、七本調子、八本調子）
Miyako's hogaku-cho/uta-yo Shinobue is also tuned in 日本十二律 (Twelve-tone Japanese scale). It is adjusted to play various types of traditional Japanese music.
I use these hogaku-cho (uta-yo) Shinobue for playing traditional Japanese songs such as "Sakura", "Hotaru Koi" & "Edo no Komori Uta", and Japanese Min'yo songs with Shamisen (三味線).
Hogaku-cho (uta-yo) Shinobue originated from Shamisen music represented by Nagauta (長唄) .
Miyako's uta-yo Shinobue has high-pitched, elegant and powerful sounds. I can always feel fresh in "her" variety and rich expression.

| Koten 6-hon, Hogaku(Uta) 6-hon, 7-hon and 8-hon My 8-hon Uta-yo Shinobue has no number of Choshi. hehehe :) |
 |
| Koten 6-hon Hogaku (Uta) 6-hon, 7-hon and 8-hon |
 |
| "京師" is branded on the bottom of Shinobue 京師 (Miyako)'s Shinobue is made in Kyoto |
I have been playing Miyako's Shinobue for 3 years.
Actually, I didn't know that it was doremi fue as it was being sold as "uta-yo Shinobue". Yes, as I explained above, uta-yo (唄用) Shinobue is not doremi (ドレミ) fue at all. They are tuned in different ways!
It's quite confusing to Shinobue lovers, right?
This is a big problem these days in Japan. :(
Other than these Shinobue, I also have a Shishida (獅子田) koten 6-hon choshi, a Rodo (朗童) koten 6-hon and a Hibari (雲雀) hogaku-cho 8-hon.
What types of Shinobue do you have???
Thank you for reading my blog.
When I just started practicing Shinobue, I used to use some other brands' Shinobue tuned in Western 12 equal temperament（西洋12平均律）, which is called "doremi"(ドレミ) fue.
