Hello bert, masami and all. I hope this is not a private thread. We all have friends that can read japanese, They are the faithful japanese yairi staff,...
I believe the 710 is a steel string dreadnought style guitar, it could be one of the three piece back type designs, it has nothing to do with the 8900...
... dy57 ... Hey Dave.....My name is Dave too. I am a professional entertainer who usually puts on at least two music shows a day. Now until Christmas Eve, I...
well, Dave, now you have me sobbing on the floor! I played a dy55 about 2 years ago for about 10 minutes and have been looking for one ever since. my...
Hi Dave. I saw your earlier posts looking for a Yairi. Sorry, I'm not selling any of mine, but I did want to encourage you to keep looking. I have two DY85's...
I bought a classical guitar from my music teacher when I was 12 or so. This was in 1972 or 73! I just pulled it out of its case and it says, "Yairi and Son,...
thanks Rickj! Hmmm, a dy85? I guess i'll have to look into one of those. My dy52 which I got on ebay is really great sounding but the playing is a little...
Hey Dave, Just wanted to add that the DY85 has some very pretty abalone trim that makes the guitar look very nice. It is tastefully done, though, and not too...
Hey, Rick . . . very good advice. Since I own most of the Yairi's you mention, I will tell you from my experience, the dy85 and dy77 have a lot going for them...
I have kept the last two of my Yairi's. They both have great harmonics and ring forever. I don't see too much written about either. The 66 is the signature...
I have an Aria steel string that is essentially a copy of a Martin D18, spruce top, mahogany sides and back. The label inside states "ARIA by Sada Yairi". The...
Hello,Bert I have never seen YC-70 on Yairi Catalog. I think that Yairi used the same model numbers in Japan and Europe. I don't know the model numbers of...
Paid a visit to the local music store that had that lovely handmade S Yairi, I believe it was, that I posted about some time ago. Played a pair of beautiful...
Whoops. "Aged on the wayy" should have read "aged on the wall". :D The shop owner said they had improved as they aged, just like our experience with vintage...
Between the models: 5034 and 5014. I am going to buy one of these guitars ( as a entry level Alvarez ) but I'm not going to be able to play eithter. Anybody...
Humm . . . If you are not going to be able to play either model, then why are you going to get one or the other at all? What would you do with it after you...
I have a 1978, built in april to be exact and built in Japan, according to the guy from alvarez, model 5059 inspected by a S. Yamada. How can I look it up to...
It will say on the label. Alvarez by K Yairi if it is a Yairi. I believe that this is a Alvarez copy of a Martin D18. Even if it is not a Yairi the Japan built...
I met to say a D28 ... believe that this is a Alvarez copy of a Martin D18. Even if it is not a Yairi the Japan built alvarez� are very good guitars. ... kind...
I have just posted some photos of my S Yairi 710. I can't find any info on these guitars anywhere so I think it must be quite rare. This one was made in March...
Any interest from this group on my 1979 DY58 before I list on Ebay this weekend? This 9 string is in very good condition but I honestly prefer another make of...
Howdy; I am a builder and repair guy. I just got what looks to be a Yairi parlor in and I'm trying to find out more about it for the owner. He bought it used...
