Music stores galore

Found this strip in Tokyo with the best set of musical instrument shops EVER! You name it - wind shops; strings shops; early misic instrument shops, guitar shops: jazz specialist shops - you name it - it's there.

I bought a yamaha sopranino recorder and I think i might but a tenor recorder before I come home.

I bought two miniature study scores of Shostakovich string quartets. I already have two in rhe same series (they're the only ones available anway and they are publishes in Japan) for abour 1/3 what I paid in Australia.

Japan is not expensive for Australian travellers at the moment.
