As the opportunity to play the shino-bue together with western musical instruments increases, 'improved versions of the shino-bue' with a musical score that is closer to the meantone temperament, such as the 'do re mi-like shino-bue' and the 'misato-bue flute' (trademark), have been developed.
西洋楽器との合奏が増えるにつれ、これを更に平均律に近付けた「ドレミ調」篠笛、「みさと笛」（商標）等の「改良型篠笛」も開発されている。
