Japanese Shinobue Bamboo Flute – Kunpu (薫風) | 10-Hon Choshi (D Key) | Traditional Festival Fue | P-B-K10-1

$11300

Features of the Shinobue – 10-Hon Choshi 

10-Hon Choshi shinobue has a higher pitch range than the 8-Hon Choshi.
It produces a brilliant, light tone that is well suited for delicate and airy musical expression.

Its higher register provides excellent projection that carries clearly over distance, allowing melodies to stand out even within an ensemble.

The shorter body also makes breath control easier and supports quick phrases and ornamentation. It works especially well in festival music, stage performance, and contemporary compositions where a bright presence is desired.

A great choice for players seeking a clear, elevated sound with expressive character.

 

 

Although bamboo is naturally prone to cracking, this shinobue is specially reinforced using vacuum resin impregnation technology, significantly improving durability and resistance to drying and cracking.

From careful bamboo selection and drying to finger hole drilling and precise tuning, every step of the manufacturing process is performed by hand by skilled craftsmen.

 

 

Creator

 

Kaoru Shimura

Lives and works in Kanagawa Prefecture.
At the age of 30, Kaoru Shimura started playing the shinobue because he likes mountain climbing and wanted to have a hobby that he could do even at the top of a mountain. Bamboo is a material that  tends to crack when it dries out, but he decided that he wanted to play it anytime, anywhere, which led him to research and develop the reinforced flute. He plays shinobue as a member of a local musical instrument preservation society.

 

What is "Vacuum Resin Impregnation Technology"?

The shinobue is placed entirely immersed in the resin tank in a vacuum chamber, and the air is rapidly removed with a vacuum pump and left in place for approximately 8 hours. It is then removed from the chamber and the resin is cured.
