Musical Instruments Shops in Ochanomizu

I took these photos at kanda-surugadai in ochanomizu.
There are so many musical instruments shops there.
I don't know certainly why those musical instruments shops gather in this neighborhood.
But I suppose the reason is that the neighborhood is students town.
