Background
Japanese musical instruments, of which we are proud to be a part of the world, are currently lying unused and unused. We see many such instruments in our business of purchasing used musical instruments. We buy them at a reasonable price, repair them carefully, and deliver to the world the instruments made in Japan that the world wants. The reverse is also true. The instruments that we have worked on will play new music and bring music to the world.
At UNISOUND, GRACE's musical instrument business, we want to convey the joy and wonder of musical instruments through the sale and purchase of used instruments. We want to make music more accessible! We want to make music more accessible!
We will find new market values and expand our business to many countries in the future, not only domestically, but also exporting to Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia."
