Suzuki Violins, the pioneer of Japanese violins, was a favorite of Einstein. At the height of the Meiji Era, the company manufactured 100,000 violins a year. It was internationally acclaimed and won awards at the Paris World Exposition and other international competitions.
After visiting the workshop, where you can see a letter handwritten by Einstein, you will experience varnishing violin parts called “pieces,” which will be made into straps for you to take home.
