John, I traded a Gold Tone Whyte Ladye open back banjo to a friend for a DY-58. That was worth about $500. Love the DY-58 & probably won't ever part with it....
Hey Guys, I've been in love with Japanese made guitars and I really hope to get an Alvarez K Yairi acoustic steel string guitar. I'm open to any DY or DYM...
Hello, I've had Yari steel strings and it is obvious he's a great maker. I see one on EBAY, and am concerned that it has a narrow body, made with I think a...
You are probably looking at a cy127 great guitar but sounds best plugged in. If you are not going to plug it in I would suggest a cy128. It has a deeper body....
Hey there, Sorry but there is a sale pending on the guitar (I'm awaiting payment). In the best possible world, I would keep this guitar and add a mahogany...

I've had some pictures taken of my Yairi - wondering what year it was made and if I was to put it for sale, how much should I ask. Thanks. The message is...

Hi, I'm not an expert on Yari guitars, but each I've played was very nice. I'm interested in a deep bodied cutaway classical with all solid woods if someone...

Last Tuesday (5/5) on "The Mentalist" there was a cutaway Yairi on a guitar stand, strings all askew, but in nice shape. I'm not that familiar with the new...
It is with great joy that I announce my purchase of a new/old toy, a K Yairi YW1000 (1974). She is an oldie but a goodie. Brazilian Rosewood (Jacaranda) back...
I've been looking at the Alvarez MD 60c, MD 70c, and MD 350c; as well as the DY84c and DY40c. I've played all of the MD series mentioned, but not the DY yet....
I just purchased an Alvarez CM1000 and have been very impressed. ... From: axd81 <axd81@...> Subject: [yairiguitars] Comparing Alvarez MD to Yairi DY ...
Is it true that if the guitar is made by Mr K Yairi himself then he signs the end on the neck. If so, how would you know if the signature was genuine....
I have an '89 FY65 with what looks like a signed, ie. "woodburned" signature on the lower bout on the outside of the guitar. Any one know about this ? Al ... ...
I think those are considered 'signature' models. I have one of those on my DY62c along with a "K.Yairi" stamped on the inside end of the neck. Tony M. ... ...
How do you find the date the guitar was made? My serial # is 52544 and the stamp on the inside headstock is 0805 090. Thanks [Non-text portions of this...
Hi, I recently purchased a DYM95, and I would like some advice. I can't say I'm completely thrilled with it (I know, sounds picky but I paid a lot so whatever)...
I guess I'm dense but didn't you notice any of this stuff before you bought the guitar. Did you play the thing before buying it. I have heard nothing but good...
... I recently changed strings for the first time on an "82 DY54 that I purchased used about 9 months ago and experienced a loss of volume/projection and...
Hi Al, You might try replacing the saddle with bone or tusq. That might improve the sustain. I put a tusq saddle on a plain mid 70's Alvarez (not Yairi) and...
Rick, Thanks for the tips. How do you know what type of saddle your yairi has? Is it possible that my dym95 already has a saddle made of bone? Then it would...
Thanks Al, I wish I knew what strings you used. That would put my mind at ease to think that all I need to do is swap out the strings. But I will give that a...
Dave, Well, it's pretty much impossible to try out Yairi's around where I live. They just don't carry any of these fantastic gits locally. I based my purchase...
Whoops! Sorry Joe, not Al Good point. I think there are several types of bone used to make saddles and I'm not really sure which is better than the other....
