This is a multi-level, air conditioned music and demo store. All the staff are pretty helpful and caring. One lady made sure we got onto the elevator to the correct floor. She even pushed the button.

I also got introduced to many fine Japanese pianists here. The scores selection here are amazing too. I know nothing about Japanese, but I still bought many books on music scores published in Japan. Because the scores very affordable and again, wide selection. I usually buy my scores online or order at a local store which takes at least three weeks. This one stop resolve everything. The classical music scene here is definitely happening and blooming in Tokyo. I...
