Second-hand violin Tokyo

Hey everyone,

I’m currently studying in Tokyo for a year and looking to buy a second-hand violin. I found places like 2nd Street, Hard-Off and Book-Off which offer a pretty good range of used instruments. Some people also mentioned that it might be cheaper or easier to get one from Amazon or Mercari.

For those who’ve purchased instruments here in Tokyo before what’s been your experience and what do you recommend?
Thank you!
