Welcome to Chords Canada. Chords is the only stocking distributor specializing in traditional Japanese musical instruments and accessories outside of Japan. We carry a varied selection of products. Most items are in stock in our warehouse in Toronto, and others are available by special order. If you don't see what you're looking for in our online catalogue, just ask us and we'll be happy to try to source it for you. Our staff will be pleased to answer your phone calls, faxes and emails in English, French, or Japanese.

We ship globally and will be happy to ship to street addresses in most countries. Shipping to post office boxes is not available.

Chords does not offer e-commerce or online shopping. We prefer the old-fashioned way of doing business, namely two-way communication with our customers. So if you're interested in any of our products, let us know what you're looking for and we'll be happy to give you pricing by phone, fax or email. For your convenience, we accept payment by Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, bank draft, bank wire, money order, cheque (drawn on Canadian or US banks only) and cash.

Chords' website is intended to serve both novice and expert musicians. We hope you'll find some interesting items here to add to your own Japanese music collection. We look forward to hearing from you. Until then, if you'd like to see and hear various traditional Japanese instruments in actual performances, please visit Chords Canada's YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/chordscanada and click on the Playlists link at the top of the page. You'll find a collection of some of the more interesting and instructive videos available on YouTube, sorted by instrument or topic. Enjoy!
