ABOUT PYGMALIUS TOKYO
Pygmalius is owned by Bunkyo Gakki of Japan (a highly regarded dealer in rare/antique violins that ventured into - and succeeeded greatly - in fine instrument making). Pygmalius specializes in fine stringed instruments, predominantly violins. Pygmalius may not be widely known in the United States but is considered one of the top brands in Japan and is highly regarded and popular. Bunkyo Gakki is also famous for its other subsidiary, Archet a Tokyo, which makes excellent - and equally expensive - bows. For perspective, the least expensive violin outfit in Pygmalius' current line-up, the Standard, has retailed in Japan for approximately $1,500.
