A Komabue fue

The komabue (高麗笛) ("Korean flute") is a transverse fue that is used in traditional Japanese court music.

Construction

The komabue is typically constructed from bamboo. It is a transverse flute with six finger-holes. It is 36 cm, shorter than the ryuteki flute.[1]

The komabue is used in both Gagaku and Komagaku. Historically the Oga family of musicians in Japan specialized in the komabue.[2]
