| It is for this reason that, in the early Showa period, the uta-yo (lit. for songs) shinobue was developed by improving the layout and size of the finger holes, making it easy to play along to songs (folk songs and nagauta) of traditional Japanese music. |
そこで昭和初期に、指孔の位置と大きさを工夫し、邦楽（伝統音楽）の唄物（民謡、長唄等）に合わせやすい「唄用」篠笛が開発された。 |
