The partnership between Nate Tabor and Kaishu Satou began in 2002 in Vienna as a friendship between a rare instrument collector, and a composer of film music seeking new tools to produce sound. In the early 1990s, Mr Satou was one of the first to promote authentic performance of Baroque music in Taiwan, organizing concerts using Baroque instruments at a time when this was quite uncommon. This undertaking was difficult however, given that Baroque reproductions were at the time scarce on this continent. The donation by Nate Tabor of a viola pomposa to Mr. Satou, began a lively collaboration and exchange of instruments, including the commissioning of numerous concerts, often of music that had never been performed before within the host cities. Happily, the Eastern world has experienced a renaissance in performing music as it was originally heard during the time it was composed.

We are interested in creating relationships with artists, and helping them find the ideal instrument to express themselves. While we happily supply instruments worldwide, our focus from the beginning has been to provide Baroque reproductions to Asian markets at reasonable, artist-friendly prices.

We are also interested in purchasing instruments in every price level. Please contact us for free consultations and appraisals. natetabor@yahoo.com

Nate Tabor studied Filmmaking in the United States, and Musical Composition in Berlin, Germany for several years until finally settling in Milan, Italy. A passion for collecting, as well as performing, and the thrill of attending fine instrument auctions, has long benefited the wonderful relationship that is possible between artist and dealer. In addition to composing music for Harpsichord and Clavichord, he finds great pleasure in providing rare instruments to musicians and artists worldwide. Kaishu Satou is a renowned instrument restorer and collector in Tokyo Japan. With his expertise and passion for discovering rare finds, we have been thrilled to supply Asia with Baroque instruments and reproductions, thus filling the growing demand for authentic performance on several continents
