Building a business and running it successfully for a hundred years is a remarkable achievement.For over 25 years now, I have valued my collaboration with Mr.Okada as a reliable and esteemed business partner. In September of this year, I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr.Okada again, together with his son Koki Okada, at Mondo Musica in Cremona.I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the many years of trusting cooperation and wish Tatsunoya Co. Ltd. continued success and all the best – for the next 100 years and beyond!
With best regards.

Josef P. Gabriel, geboren 1960 in Erlangen, hat nach der Schule erst eine Ausbildung zum Energiegeräteelektroniker bei Siemens absolviert. Nach dem Abschluss der Lehre begann er 1982 bei Alfons Riedel in Bubenreuth seine Ausbildung zum Bogenmacher und blieb auch während der Gesellenzeit in dessen Werkstatt.
1987 legte er die Meisterprüfung zum Bogenmacher ab und eröffnete im gleichen Jahr seine eigene Werkstatt im elterlichen Haus in Erlangen. Da die Räumlichkeiten dort sehr beengt waren, ist er 2001 mit seiner Werkstatt nach Erlangen Kosbach umgezogen.
