The shinobue (kanji: 篠笛; also called takebue (kanji: 竹笛) in the context of Japanese traditional arts) is a Japanese transverse flute or fue that has a high-pitched sound[citation needed]. It is found in hayashi and nagauta ensembles, and plays important roles in noh and kabuki theatre music.[citation needed] It is heard in Shinto music such as kagura-den and in traditional Japanese folk songs.[citation needed] There are three styles: uta (song), hayashi (festival), and doremi. The uta is tuned to a Japanese variant of the shi'er lü scale, while the temperament of the hayashi vary across regions. The doremi is tuned to the western scale; hence the name.[citation needed]
