Welcome to our shop, based in Kanazawa, Japan — a city renowned for its traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
We specialize in vintage Nagoya Suzuki violins, sourced and carefully selected in Japan. Suzuki Violin Co., Ltd. has been crafting fine instruments in Nagoya since 1887, and their vintage pieces from the 1970s and 1980s are increasingly sought after by players and collectors worldwide.
Before each instrument ships, a professional violin craftsman carries out a full pre-shipment setup: peg lubrication and fit adjustment, bridge inspection, sound post check, and thorough cleaning and polishing. Your violin arrives ready to play.
We pack with great care to ensure safe international delivery via Japan Post EMS with full tracking.
Questions are always welcome — please feel free to message us.
