Is it an Alvarez Yairi or a Yairi? I'm not aware of a 1989 Alvarez Yairi model DY 156. Maybe it is a custom shop guitar. Tell us more about it. Jim ... ...
Mike, My advice is to keep the cy95 for about 10 years and play it daily if possible. It will deepen and sweeten in tone to the point where you won't want to ...

Dave Thanks for posting that! From what I can tell, its the absolute top- of-the-line Yairi steel-string. If there is a higher priced one in the Yairi line,...
In 1989 Alvarez Yairi made a DY87 Express and DY88 Express Pro. Both had a 2 1/2" body depth. The DY87 had a sound hole and the DY88 had no sound hole and had...

I have posted some pictures of my DY 156. It is, as you can see, not an Alvarez - it resides in Denmark and has probably never seen US. What a great thing to...

I know this is vague, but I got a whole set of new tuning keys for my DY-79 right from St. Louis Music. They had the AY logo on them. I am frantically...

I got my set of tuners through St. Louis music (and my AY pick guard). E-mail Tom Kruska. He'll steer you to go through your local Yairi dealer. Just tell...
Mike, Thanks for that info - that jars the ol' memory banks loose a little bit. We lived in the middle of nowhere (Yairi dealer-wise) and that is why they...
