Need Advice: Synth/keyboard shopping in Tokyo

12 Aug 2005, 09:41

I am travelling to Tokyo for a week in September.

I want to visit stores with keyboards

Anyone know Tokyo from here ? I figure there are a few travellers around.

I have googled ' sushi synths ' and
'shakuhachi sweetwater ' and I am not finding anything

Why not browse the local yellow pages? Fill in "Musical Instruments' in category and "Tokyo" in region and you'll get 40+ results.

hey greg...I don't think people usually go all the way to Japan to buy a keyboard.

Such a smart ass reply for someone with such a dumb question.

czar, there are keyboard stores in Tokyo that carry more esoteric keyboards and synths. Gear you will nver see in the US.

It isn't like going to Guitar Center of Tokyo

Ive been to tokyo, but never had any time to track down any synth stores.

You might find some cool stuff in Akhibara (the electronics district).

Can you take pics of any interesting and rare stuff you find? That would be sweet!!!
