Thank you for your interest in our items.
Our store is proud to present a carefully selected selection of instruments from the 1900's that are the crystallization of Japanese craftsmanship.
Japan has the largest population of mandolin players in the world, and especially from the 1960s to the 1990s, the mandolin culture in Japan flourished.
SUZUKI is the manufacturer that produced the largest number of mandolins during that period.
SUZUKI mandolins are highly regarded for their bright and stable sound with little individual variation, as well as for their robustness over the years.
Our store mainly handles SUZUKI mandolins, which are individually and properly maintained before being listed on the website.
We provide a specific, honest, and easy-to-understand overview of our products so that from beginners to advanced players can purchase with confidence.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
