K Yairi FY84 OM size Acoustic guitar

K.Yairi acoustic guitars are our favourite acoustic brand. We are always blown away by them, and play and own them ourselves. Chris & Dan both have an FY84.

These beautiful instruments are literally hand made, with no machine tools used, and built by a team of 30 master craftemen led by Mr Yairi himself. All woods are air dried for 15 years plus, and they only make 4,000 a year world-wide.

They ooze quality, and sound so alive and balanced.

The skills of the luthiers, the calm atmosphere of the surroundings,
and Mr.Yairi's attention to making the best guitars possible, are all reflected in each and every individual instrument. When they are finished, music is played to the guitars to begin the process of bringing them to life. We love this idea! Anything from hard rock to Classical, kind of a motivational speech before they go out to the world!

K Yairi FY84 OM size Acoustic guitar

This guitar, as pictured, has an Adirondac Spruce top with Rosewood back and sides and Ebony fretboard. The wide grain Adirondac Spruce gives a lovely resonance and projection, and the guitar is not only a thing of great beauty, it is responsive and very well balanced. And less than half the price of an equivalent US built guitar. Stunning!
