Why not work at TC-TUNE?

TCGAKKIThis job involves repairs and adjustments as part of Advance Guitars' dedicated repair team.

Even if you're told you're a "repair specialist at a secondhand/vintage goods store," you probably can't really imagine what the job entails.
Some people might feel uneasy about being assigned to a repair position, only to find themselves doing half the work as a salesperson or being asked to handle both roles.
However, the job description for "TC-TUNE" is,TCGAKKIIt's about "making products."
TCGAKKIAll instruments sold here are repaired, adjusted, and checked by TC-TUNE. Although they are in charge of repairs, they do more than just fix instruments.
This is a specialized department that ensures items are in a condition suitable for sale in a secondhand/vintage store.
of course,TCGAKKIWe also repair instruments belonging to our customers. Because we have the skills to create instruments for sale in specialty shops, we can repair and adjust our customers' instruments to a high standard.
TC-TUNE's high-quality repair and adjustment services allow our sales staff to confidently recommend instruments to customers. Furthermore, when purchasing instruments from customers, TC-TUNE's presence allows our staff to confidently offer high purchase prices. We believe that providing peace of mind to both customers and staff is the most rewarding aspect of working with TC-TUNE.
A used and vintage goods specialty store with over 2,500 transactions per yearTCGAKKIThis is an experience only "TC-TUNE," the repair specialist at "Advance Guitars," can provide.
You'll gain experience that you wouldn't get working as a sales and repair staff member at a major musical instrument store or as a staff member at a small, independent workshop.

I want to work in a field related to my favorite musical instrument! But have you ever heard that "if you make a living doing what you love, the pay will be low"?
In the musical instrument industry, you often see job postings that say things like, "Turn your passion into your job," or "Make a living doing what you love." However, you might feel a little uneasy about making a living solely by doing what you love.
At TC-TUNE, we believe that "making your passion your job is a fundamental principle, and that you should be able to make a living from it." If you think, "It's okay to be unstable because I'm doing what I love for a living," then you have to endure hardship to do what you love. In that case, you might eventually come to hate what you love. That would be very sad.
I myself am able to make a living through my repair work, get married, and have a family. Because I don't have to make sacrifices in my life, I've been able to be proactive in gaining various efforts and experiences, and I've been able to do a lot more at work.
　TCGAKKIOverall, a business model that prioritizes "doing what you love for a living" is unsustainable. It becomes difficult to attract talented individuals, and the company's growth becomes stagnant.
We strive for continuous growth as a company and pursue sustainable profits so that it becomes possible for people to "make a living doing what they love."
If you're looking to make a living doing what you love as a repair technician, please contact us. The easiest way to get in touch is through our official LINE account or the chat function in the bottom right corner of our website. We look forward to your application.

Don't you have the impression that working at a musical instrument store involves few days off and a lot of overtime?
I heard from a friend who works at a major musical instrument store that they have few days off, a lot of overtime, and sometimes even have to work from New Year's Day.
However, TC-TUNE is different. Its philosophy is fundamentally different. "The most important thing in work is 'planning'." Finishing work within the allotted time is what earns you the title of the most capable worker.
Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of "spending the last 30 minutes of the workday thinking about the next day." This, too, is preparation for the next day. Rather than continuing to work aimlessly, we focus and do good work in a well-organized manner. And when it's time to rest, we rest properly. This is the TC-TUNE way.
My actual working hours end at 8:20 PM, so if I'm lucky, I can catch a train from Shin-Okubo Station and head home by 8:30 PM. I can make it to the supermarket in front of the station before it closes, which makes cooking for myself much easier.
moreover,TCGAKKIThe company as a whole is closed for the New Year holidays from December 31st to January 3rd. Employees can also fully utilize their paid leave. The company as a whole has a culture where "those who finish their work on time are valued." This might be an unusual company culture in the musical instrument industry.
