repair maintenance
At Ikegaku, we provide services ranging from string replacement to repairs and maintenance for mandolins and classical guitars. |
I don't know how to change strings.
→ Our staff will explain the replacement method in detail. We also offer string replacement for a fee. (1,650 yen handling fee + actual cost of strings)
"The strings are hard to press and there is noise when I play."
→ We will diagnose and provide you with a quote on the spot.
"I just don't know what to do!"
→We will give you a lecture on how to use and manage the product.
"Can I still use the mandolin that's been lying around in the closet?"
→We will look at it in any condition, so please bring it in!
The tone and volume of an instrument can change significantly depending on how it is cared for, so after-sales care and maintenance is very important.
Wooden instruments in particular are extremely delicate, and the wood can change depending on factors such as temperature and humidity as well as external impacts, making repairs and maintenance necessary.
At Ikegaku , our mandolin repair staff have undergone training at the Ochiai Mandolin manufacturer to provide the best possible maintenance. By diagnosing and maintaining the instrument, we can find problems that go unnoticed during daily use and provide advice on how to maintain it.
Instrument diagnosis and repair estimates are free !
The manufacturer of the instrument does not matter.
If you send us an instrument, you will be responsible for the shipping costs.
For consultation, please contact us here...

Every week is a maintenance day at Ikegaku! |
We will inform you of the schedule for in-store maintenance by our specialized mandolin technical staff.
★We accept requests for inspection, string replacement, bridge position adjustment, etc. every day, even on days when technical staff are not present.
*This may be subject to change due to business trips, repair work, and other schedules.
*If you would like maintenance outside of the schedule below, please contact us via phone or email.
What is bridge alignment? |
|
The bridge of a mandolin is not glued to the instrument, but is held in place only by the pressure of the strings. Even with normal use, the position can shift little by little, and the bridge must be adjusted periodically. Also, the correct position of the bridge varies slightly depending on the type and condition of the strings. This is why the bridge may be misaligned from where it was before after it has been adjusted. The sound of the instrument (pitch, volume, resonance, etc.) can change dramatically depending on the position of the bridge. Adjusting the bridge position is free of charge , so if you feel that the bridge has shifted, please feel free to bring it to Ikegaku. - At times like this, things may be out of sync - ●The pitch is not right Noise occurs The sound is not clear |

Mandolin Reuse
|
Ikegaku's thoughts on reuse
Due to rising raw material costs, a new mandolin currently costs about twice as much as it did 20 years ago.
At Ikegaku, we work every day with the desire to help as many current club members as possible, people who are thinking of taking up the mandolin, and people who were members of the mandolin club during their student days and would like to take up the mandolin again, to experience the joy of owning their own instrument and to enjoy life with the mandolin to the fullest.
"Is there any way to provide good quality instruments at the lowest possible cost in order to preserve and develop mandolin culture?"
With this idea in mind, we started the mandolin reuse service.
If you have an instrument that is just sitting around, please help us advance mandolin culture!
With your help, could you help share the joy of owning your own instrument that every mandolin owner feels with active mandolin players?
We are particularly looking for instruments priced between 50,000 and 100,000 yen!
Any manufacturer or era is fine!
* The minimum order price is 50,000 yen ( excluding tax ) .

For customers who are thinking of storing their musical instruments
Features of Ikegakureuse
Ikegaku will handle all of the troublesome financial transactions and instrument maintenance on your behalf. |
"I donated my instrument, but I haven't received any payment yet. But since it's the same organization, it's difficult to ask for payment..."
"The instrument that was given to me is not working properly. But since it was given to me, it's hard to tell the person that."
There's no need to worry about that! It's a simple sales method, just leave it with Ikegaku.
Would you like to sell your musical instruments stress-free?
The sales price is determined by the customer. |
As a general rule, we sell at the price you request.
"I want to use it as a down payment for a new instrument."
"It's an instrument I was going to throw away, so I don't care how much it costs."
"We want students to experience the joy of owning their own instrument, so we made it affordable for students."
The way the amount is determined varies from customer to customer.
Of course, for customers who have no idea how much they can sell for, we are happy to discuss the approximate selling price of the instrument you bring in.
Please feel free to contact us.
Once the sale is complete, we will refund 70% of the sales price (excluding tax)
|
For example, if we sell the instrument you have left for reuse for 100,000 yen (excluding tax), we will pay you 70,000 yen.
If you have an unused mandolin at home, please feel free to contact us.
If you keep it at home it will cost you 0 yen, but if you sell it you could get it for around 70,000 yen !
For customers who want to own a reused item
Features of Ikegakureuse
The opportunity to start a new hobby called "music"
|
I want to start playing music, especially the mandolin, but new ones are expensive...
We accept reused mandolins with a minimum price of 50,000 yen.
There is a very good chance that you can get a handmade mandolin at a low cost.
Why not get your own instrument and enjoy a more fulfilling musical life?
Because it is an instrument that has been played extensively, you can get an instrument that resonates immediately. |
Most of the mandolins have been well played and are ready to play right from the start.
"I want an instrument that resonates from the very beginning." "I don't have the confidence to improve a brand new instrument."
For such customers, we highly recommend reused items!
Please check the actual instrument by playing it.
|
At Ikegaku, we offer reuse services so that you can try out the actual items, with the aim of ensuring that you are satisfied with the products and can use them for a long time.
Even though they are reused items, we feel that purchasing an instrument is a very big event for our customers.
Why not try out some "fail-proof shopping" at Ikegaku?
We also offer after-sales service consultations after your purchase.
|
At Ikegaku, we believe that the true relationship begins after you purchase an instrument.
We deliver with the hope of maintaining a "lifelong" relationship with our customers for as long as the instrument exists.
We have a repair system in place for reused items so that you can use them with peace of mind as long as the instrument exists. Please enjoy playing your instrument with peace of mind even after purchasing it!

Message from the President
President and CEO
Horinoe Futoshi
We believe that music, which provides healing, vitality and enrichment to the soul, is an essential part of life, regardless of the era.
The mandolin, which is our specialty, is one of the most accessible instruments for people of all ages.
There are many mandolin clubs in junior and senior high schools in Japan, and we feel that the mandolin is an instrument well suited to emotional education, based on the activities they carry out, the passion for music of their members, and their serious, diligent attitude toward life.
We believe that spreading mandolin culture will contribute to society. The mandolin originated in Italy, but as mentioned above, Japan has many mandolin clubs in junior and senior high schools, universities, and adult clubs, making it the world's largest mandolin country. It can now be said that mandolin culture is something that Japan can be proud of on the world stage.
We are proud to be involved in music culture, and would like to spread and develop this culture, and spread the wonders of the mandolin from Japan to the world.
We will continue this business with all our heart and soul so that as many people as possible can experience mandolins and guitars, and we aim to become a specialty store that will last for 100 or 200 years.
To that end, we have established a philosophy and are working to develop human resources that can be trusted by customers by holding in-house study sessions, external seminars, and joint study sessions with different industries. All staff members will continue to study hard to create a company that customers can trust and patronize.
<Management Philosophy>
Let's spread the smiles, happiness, and joy of playing to the world! Let's believe in the power of music! This is what we at IKEGAKU are all about.

At Ikegaku, we provide services ranging from string replacement to repairs and maintenance for mandolins and classical guitars. |
I don't know how to change strings.
→ Our staff will explain the replacement method in detail. We also offer string replacement for a fee. (1,100 yen handling fee + actual cost of strings)
"The strings are hard to press and there is noise when I play."
→ We will diagnose and provide you with a quote on the spot.
"I just don't know what to do!"
→We will give you a lecture on how to use and manage the product.
"Can I still use the mandolin that's been lying around in the closet?"
→We will look at it in any condition, so please bring it in!
The tone and volume of an instrument can change significantly depending on how it is cared for, so after-sales care and maintenance is very important.
Wooden instruments in particular are extremely delicate, and the wood can change depending on factors such as temperature and humidity as well as external impacts, making repairs and maintenance necessary.
At Ikegaku , we have specialized mandolin repair staff who have trained at the Ochiai Mandolin manufacturer to provide the best possible maintenance. By diagnosing and maintaining the instrument, we can find problems that go unnoticed during daily use and provide advice on how to maintain it.
Instrument diagnosis and repair estimates are free !
The manufacturer of the instrument does not matter.
If you send us an instrument, you will be responsible for the shipping costs.
For consultation, please contact us here...
TEL: 03(5952)1391
Email: info@ikegaku.co.jp
Every week is a maintenance day at Ikegaku! |
We will inform you of the schedule for in-store maintenance by our specialized mandolin technical staff.
★We accept requests for inspection, string replacement, bridge position adjustment, etc. every day, even on days when technical staff are not present.
*This may be subject to change due to business trips, repair work, and other schedules.
*If you would like maintenance outside of the schedule below, please contact us via phone or email.
What is bridge alignment? |
|
The bridge of a mandolin is not glued to the instrument, but is held in place only by the pressure of the strings. Even with normal use, the position can shift little by little, and the bridge must be adjusted periodically. Also, the correct position of the bridge varies slightly depending on the type and condition of the strings. This is why the bridge may be misaligned from where it was before after it has been adjusted. The sound of the instrument (pitch, volume, resonance, etc.) can change dramatically depending on the position of the bridge. Adjusting the bridge position is free of charge , so if you feel that the bridge has shifted, please feel free to bring it to Ikegaku. - At times like this, things may be out of sync - ●The pitch is not right Noise occurs The sound is not clear |
