If you have no experience to play the flute, you may think that it's difficult to play the shinobue, too. This article helps the beginners to get a good shinobue embouchure and understand a good finger placement. It's important to relax while you play the shinobue. So, take it easy.

Pay attention to stomach and blow slowly and long.
Make the center of the blow hole in the center of the face.
Cover one third of the blow hole with the lower lip.
Keep embouchure and hit the air to the edge of the blow hole.
Find the best place to hit the air by turning shinobue outwards or inwards.
Do not close the finger holes with the fingertips.
Close the holes with the pads of the fingers (left hand) and with the middle part of the first joint and second joint of the fingers (right hand).

I find it a lot easier to play with the bue on my left. This means my right hand covers the top three holes and my left hand on the bottom four. Is this wrong and will it cause problems as I learn? Thanks.
