Sada Yairi 730

Dette er min første Sada Yairi guitar og det er bestemt ikke en dårlig oplevelse. Vi kender jo kvaliteten på de ældre K.Yairi guitarer og selv om fætteren Sada Yairi ikke er helt så kendt i Danmark, er kvaliteten på hans guitarer fuldt ud på samme niveau. Desværre er det en del år siden Sada holdt op med at bygge guitarer. Han døde en gang i firserne. Min S. Yairi er håndbygget i 1974, på et tidspunkt hvor han endnu ikke havde bygget 5000 instrumenter totalt. Den er bygget smukt også helt ned i detaljen. Ikke noget med kunststofstol eller -saddel. Her er det ben. Forbilledet er en Martin model.
Der er ikke monteret pickupsystem i guitaren.

"Sada Yairi was a Japanese master luthier and all of his guitars were handmade, he made guitars fom ca. 1965-1980s. They were imported to the USA by The Philadelphia Music Company of Limerick, Pennsylvania. He made both classical nylon string guitars and steel string folk guitars. Steel string jumbos and dreadnoughts have the S Yairi logo on the headstock, and the nylon classical models have no logo."

"I have two highly prized Sada Yairi steel string guitars. A 1973 Model 9100 which looks very much like a Martin New Yorker and a 1976 model 730 which is a classic Dreadnought.
Both guitars are amongst the best I have ever owned or played over 30 years as a professional musician. I bought the 9100 new at the age of 16 (a lucky chance) and the 730 2nd hand some years later while playing in Australia. If you ever see one of these guitars buy it, they have a loud full sound with crystal clear tops and a warm full bass. The man who made them could obviously play well himself, you can just feel it in the shape of the neck and the balance when playing. As with all quality guitars the older they get the better they sound and play. These babys Rock! Cheers, Simon B.

"I had the same question and found that Sada was either the Brother or Cousin of Kazuo who worked in the family trade for a time. I read that it was Sada who brought fame to the Yairi name."

"these guitars are better than martins from the same time (1974). They come up on ebay and sell for a bargain. S. Yairi has relaunched under the son of Sada but I don't think the instruments can be compared. I have the matching 12 string and it is equally fantastic. If you see one grab it"

"Sada Yairi D-18 copy: I don't know why this guitar sounds as good as it does. It's a fact that it does though. Possibly due to years of playing ?
I've owned Morgan, Martin, Larivee, Guild, Taylor, Gibson, and National acoustic guitars. Played for 35 years and now make my living performing and recording.
I don't want to suggest that every S Yairi guitar is this good, but don't let one get away without a close inspection."
