I know of quite a few dealers who are Alvarez only. I'm looking to spend some time trying out Yairi's. I'm near Houston, but Austin or San Antonio would be...
House of Guitars on N. Hwy 6 used to carry Alvarez-Yairi, but I don't think they do anymore. Give them a call, anyway, they might have some used A-Y's you can...
Follow this link: http://www.alvarezgtr.com/productpage.htm?CatID=35 and enter zip. This "should" give you a list of A-Y dealers. Thanks, Bryan Mickie / Dan...
Dan, All of the addresses have phone numbers, so call to see. Also, if they just carry Alvarez, it probably means that they don't have the business to carry...
I tried the zip code thingy too last weekend and ended up driving 50 miles around town to dealers that didn't have one, "not one", yairi in stock. Without...
Yeah - I saw the same list and I did call a few, but most didn't have any Yairi's in stock. So - that's why I thought I'd go through this group and just see if...
I found my WY-1K on eBay...bought it without playing one 3 years ago...it's still the best-looking, best-playing, best-sounding electric-acoustic I've ever...
In a message dated 3/3/2006 5:29:44 PM Central Standard Time, ... There is one at the String Connection in Arlington Texas. [Non-text portions of this message...
Hey folks, Yes...we went over these a couple of years back when I was going to put a p/u in my DY76 12-string. I'm planning (again!) on doing it and wanted to...
Hey! YouBettcha my 1984 DY76 is sitting in the living room right now. I've got a Baggs I-Beam Active in mine. I mounted it myself, which I DON'T recommend....
In 1970 I bought my guitar, new, at a music store in Hollywood CA. It is a flamenco model with tuning pegs,not machine heads. The label inside says: Alvarez,...
Good for you! I just started playing again after a 15 year hiatus myself and I'm 56. I can't be of any help on the guitar, but you inspired me to write...
New to this forum, but I really enjoy reading discussions about Yairi guitars here! I have a 1970 K. Yairi 5033 classical guitar which looks identical to CY140...
Does anyone know anything about this model. We just got one for my daughter and don't know anything about it, except that it looks to be from the late '60s or...
1976 DY85 - jacaranda; 1984 "unplayed" DY45N mint condition, and a near mint Pre-Yairi Alvarez (1970-72?)signed by K. Yairi, model 5065 (D28 copy), beautifully...

I have created a photo album with the name "1970 K. Yairi 5033 Classical." I only took 4 pictures this time. Maybe I will take more detailed pictures later....
Ching, You appear to have a treasure. This is the predicessor to the cy130 conquistador model, but it appears to be solid brazillian rosewood rather than...
Thank you for the valuable information. The back and sides do look like solid Brazilian rosewood, but at first I just could not believe it! Yes, the guitar has...
The way to tell if the sides are solid is to look at the inside of the upper bout. Solid wood classical guitars tend to have a small brace that runs from top...
I recently found this group and in my pursuit to find out more information on my 1973 5070, I joined. I would like to know basically what I have here. Is this...
Thanks a lot for the tips to tell whether a guitar has solid sides. According it, this Yairi 5033 may not have solid sides because there is not small brace on...
Bobby: Welcome to the group. I also have a Model 5070 (there are pix in the photo section) but mine appears to be a few years older as it has the older...
Well I have owned at least a half dozen different 70's era Alvarez and Alvarez-Yairi guitars: Alvarez 5053, AY DY74, AY DY90, AY CY140, AY DY96 and a 1991 AY...
Just ran across this group last night. Wow, what a wealth of information! I own an '81 dy-55 that I bought new in '81 and just acquired an '82 dy-77 on Ebay....
Hi Paul: First some info on Yairi flamenco guitars. The Yairi 5017 Flamenco sold for $250 in 1971. K. Yairi had a number of flamenco models in the 1970s....
Hi Ching: Just to echo Mark's remarks regarding the "solidity" of your guitar ... sides have additional bracing or reinforcement on the sides/ribs. I was...
