Okubo GakkiAbout our business
We are a music store specializing in used instruments. We primarily operate as a specialist shop for wind instruments such as trumpets and saxophones, offering sales, repairs, and buyback services to support our customers' musical lives in every way. We also sell some traditional Japanese instruments such as shakuhachi and shamisen, as well as violins.
Recently, our staff have been proactively finding excellent products from overseas, expanding our business as an import agent and authorized retailer.
Our business activities can be broadly divided into three categories: sales, repairs, and purchases.
Sales staff primarily assist customers with instrument testing and helping them choose the right instrument.
We strive to understand the needs and concerns of a wide range of customers, from those who want to start playing an instrument to students and veteran players, and offer suggestions that best meet their requirements.
Characteristics of used musical instruments include:NewUnlike other instruments, the condition of each instrument upon arrival varies.NewThe condition of instruments varies greatly depending on their usage, such as those that have been stored away and hardly used for a long time.NewRepair and adjustment are essential to ensure that all models are available under the same conditions.
The second main service we offer is repair work. More than half of our staff are also responsible for repairing their respective instruments. Basically, this involves tasks such as cleaning, polishing, and adjusting the instruments in our inventory to make them ready for sale. One of the unique attractions of a used instrument shop is the opportunity to work with a variety of historically significant instruments, including rare vintage instruments that are no longer manufactured. (It's irresistible for instrument lovers!)
In addition, we receive many requests for regular maintenance (adjustments under warranty), replacement of consumables on customers' instruments, and consultations regarding customization.
Another distinctive feature is that there is no barrier between the sales area and the repair area on the floor. Repair work is not something you do silently behind the scenes, but rather something you do while communicating with customers, which makes it very rewarding.
Thirdly, we offer trade-in services for instruments being bought or replaced, as well as purchasing instruments that are no longer in use. We accurately assess the history, manufacturing background, and current condition of each instrument to determine its value and provide initial support to ensure it finds a new owner.
Our store has a veteran manager with over 30 years of experience in the industry, having seen countless musical instruments, and enjoys the deep trust of our customers.
Other job duties include updating the website, taking photos of musical instruments to be listed on the online store, and
There are also light tasks such as operating the cash register, stocking small items, and creating POP displays.
As we are a small shop, each staff member is the face of the store. Would you like to work with us in an environment surrounded by musical instruments, where you can utilize your individuality? Please feel free to contact us even if you just want to visit the store. We look forward to your application.
About Advance Guitars' business activities
We primarily deal in acoustic guitars.
⚪For sale
We have over 500 items in stock, one of the largest inventories in the world.
And about half of them are vintage guitars, which sometimes even captivate top musicians.
Our 35 years of experience as a "used instrument shop" has allowed us to offer a wide selection of used guitars.
This is a place that anyone who loves acoustic guitars will surely enjoy.
We leverage our connections both domestically and internationally to assemble such a wide selection of guitars, all in order to fulfill our customers' "dreams."
⚪Buy/Sellconsignment
We will also fulfill our mission of passing on these precious guitars, including the feelings our customers have invested in them, to the next generation.
We handle top-of-the-line pre-war guitars costing tens of millions of yen, as well as one-of-a-kind guitars. Our experienced staff prioritizes friendliness and provides the best possible support.
⚪︎Repair/Adjustment
We know that a guitar whose potential is fully realized produces a vibrant, superb tone.
We believe that exceptional used vintage guitars are created through the collaboration of craftsmen, players, and repair technicians. We don't simply aim for "instruments without problems," but instead set them up to be easy to play and, at times, even to enhance their sound. Not only do we handle guitars at customer request, but all guitars we stock are inspected, repaired, and adjusted by craftsmen highly knowledgeable in acoustic guitars. We want you to experience "even greater joy" by actually playing the guitar.
⚪Writing
We recently published our own collection of documents, including the pre-war SJ-200, which is difficult to obtain these days.
Focusing on the history of the acoustic guitar,
My aim is to widely share the joy of learning and to pass on the appeal of these wonderful guitars to future generations.
In addition to our printed publications, we also have information about musical instruments available on our website, so please take a look.
