◇About the Artisan◇
We sell handmade shinobue flutes made by a father and daughter. The father has been a shinobue instructor in Shimane Prefecture for approximately 25 years and is also a flute craftsman. We craft shinobue and kagurabue flutes from female bamboo (shin bamboo) harvested from the Shizuma River (formerly Ginzan River), dried for over 3 years.

◇Shipping Method◇
We ship within 1-3 days using Mercari's anonymous shipping service with eco-friendly packaging. If you need it urgently, please leave a comment.

[Purchase Bonus: Original Beginner's Guide]
For those who wish, we will include an original beginner's guide (finger chart and practice guide).
While it is created for the 8-hole tuning scale, the fingerings are universal, so you can use it to practice with flutes of other tunings as well.
This is also recommended for those who don't know where to start.
If you would like the guide, please let us know by sending a message through the transaction details after your purchase, stating Beginner's Guide Request.

◇Description◇
The 11-hole tuning has finger holes spaced approximately 5mm closer together than the 8-hole tuning, making them easier to cover and more manageable for those with smaller hands.
It can be used for uta (vocal) style playing as well as for daily practice.
