My grandmother bought me an Alvarez Yairi when I graduated from college. On it is an engraved plaque that says, “You can do whatever you want to.” She used to tell me that when I’d get so discouraged that I felt like quitting. To this day whenever I play my guitar I feel connected to her and the strength she gave me through her words.

最後、検査担当の職人さんが普通に演奏しだすのがカッコよかったです。職人であり、アーティストでもあるのですね。

子供の頃クラシックギターやってたけど、ヤイリのギター使ってました！ 材木商だった祖父がかつてヤイリに木材を卸してたのですが、世界中のアーティストに祖父の選んだ木が使われていると思うと、嬉しく思いますね。

アメリカ在住です。 最近　ギターを始めたので、よくギター屋さんに足を運ぶのですが、私が住んでいる街のいいギターだけを揃えている老舗のギター屋さんにはYAIRIのギターのバックの模型が飾ってあります。YAIRIのギターは置いてないんですが…(昔はあったそうですが、今は入ってこないと仰ってました。) YAIRIのギターの作り方が素晴らしいから　置いてあるんだなとは思っていましたが、さすが日本製は細部まで丁寧に作っていますね。いつか日本製のギターが欲しいなと思っています。

I just like watching Japanese people build things. They are totally NO BS. Their shops, their tools, their jigs, it's all zero BS, just whatever works to get it done. Very dedicated folks. I have the utmost respect for their works.

約50年前の高校生の時に、ヤイリギターを買いました。当時はフォーク全盛時で拓郎や陽水のコピーを毎日してました。まだ家にあります。懐かしいなぁ！

躊躇なく鎚で叩いたり、穴を開けたりするところが、使い手としてはなんだか新鮮でした ギターというものにも一本一本つくり手がいるのだなと感じられました

I have a YW600G..It is old but beautifully made. Workmanship is outstanding and it sounds amazing. It stacks up against many many high end models. Thankyou

This is why I admire the Japanese the most out of all cultures! QUALITY 🇯🇵🇺🇸

I'm sure Mr. Yairi loved his profession. This kind of wood craft is one of the highest arts.

very interesting and a lot of hands-on I thougth it was a good video

реально КЛАССНЫЙ звук ! ВОЛШЕБСТВО ! Ничто и никогда не сможет заменить такие "живые" инструменты ! надеюсь Yairi никогда не прекратит делать такие удивительные гитары !

職人仕事は見ていて気持ちがいいです

I used to work at a guitar manufacturing factory, so I remember the manufacturing process nostalgic.☺️

大変多くの過程があるのですね！　塗装後に部品を取り付けるときに、塗装をはがすところは神経を使います。製造を担当する皆様の作業はとても美しいと思いました。

ヤイリのギターは憧れだったなあ。だから、娘に買ってあげた。

I'm from India and I loved your efforts so much. Really appreciable work.

使い込まれたまんりき、接着剤の容器の焼酎の缶、そして職人さんの佇まい。すでにここ自体が吉田拓郎の世界観のようでかっこいいです。 とても丁寧に作られているのがわかり、感動しました。 手作業でモノを作れる仕事は減ってきていると思いますので、 誇りをもっていいものを世の中に送り出してくれることを楽しみにしています。 そして僕もヤイリギターを買いたいと思います。 いい動画をありがとうございました！

Bagus buatnya dan lengkap alatnya semua tersedia salam dari kami 🇮🇩

Simplesmente maravilhoso!! Parabéns por tanta eficiência!!

Not only the greatest respect to the artists, that build these wonderful guitars, but also to the people, that sharpen their tools. Even the sharpening of tools to that perfection is an art by itsself!

憧れのギターです。全て手作業とは知っていましたが、ここまでとは思いませんでした。

Amazing craftsmanship

I have my Yairi for all my adulthood, almost 40 years. Love the sound of it and it is my partner for the rest of my life as well. ❤

今の世の中ほとんどが全自動の中、手作業で一つ一つ組み立てていくのは凄く素晴らしい、最後に音確認でギターを弾く所が最高にカッコいいｗ

K.yairi ユーザーです、自分のギターがこうやって製造されたのかと思うととても感懐深いです。コレからも大事に使います

My favorite you guys always the best

Very beautiful guitars!

Yairi has always produced quality instruments. I hope they continue to do so for the next 55 years.

A delight to watch such craftsmen at work!

高級ブランド楽器メーカーでもちゃんと朝のラジオ体操するのがいかにも日本の会社らしい❤ しかもいまいち気合いの入らん体操なのがよく見る光景😊

Great Japanese works..i salute you❤

No one in this world can and will never be able to compete with Japanese quality! You are always 100 levels above everyone else...I adore you! You are an example of how to do things perfectly!

I love japanesse job philosophic, Japan factories and K. Yairy guitars. Very proud to own a guitar made in this factory.

Meraviglioso processo di costruzione che mostra amore e attenzione estrema ai dettagli ! Complimenti dal Paese dei Liutai 🇮🇹 🇯🇵

Everything in this video is beautiful. The video with no unnecessary music, the craftsmanship, and don’t forget the guitar too !

What beautiful and elegant acoustic guitars I want one for myself! 💯❤

These guitars are real gems ! これらのギターは本物の逸品です！ Ces guitares sont de vrais bijoux !

Как классно,мастера оттачивают свое ремесло из года в год,ручной труд,приятно смотреть.пустьбудет так всегда !

Well done for a beautiful instrument. Good tonality in sound. I'd play one in a heartbeat. Excellent job.

Linda arte, dedicação ao 'trabalho" e excelência na produção. Desejei ter um violão desses só em assistir o vídeo. Parabéns à todos que transformam o ofício em obra prima.

何本もお世話になりました…。 若気でヘッドマのマークに憧れて…。 そんなあの日のゆずっ子です😊

Thank you from Germany to make Guitars by hand ... the right way to build a peaceful friend 🌻☮️ I am constantly amazed how subtle and fine decorations along with the finish are adding such terrific dimensions to these instruments.

Приятно было посмотреть как рождается инструмент. Пусть это и фабрика, и все таки много ручной работы. 👍

Astonishing amount of hand craftsmanship! Very impressive workforce, take pride and pleasure making these beautiful ❤️ instruments.👍

Woodworking is a hobby of mine...the level of accuracy these craftspeople have with their handwork is really impressive

thanks for your sharing ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

年末に、購入しました。 大事に弾き込んでいこうと思います。 動画を見て愛着を、更に感じました🍀

My absolute favorite acoustic guitar maker. I’ve had a few and they’ve always become my main guitar. I had a 1978 dy-85 stolen In Nashville that had SKP on the front in big sparkle letters. I always thought I’d run across it again one day. Good guitars always find a good home.

keren bgt handmade rapih

The way he tunes it by ear... Incredible!

The Japanese soul is in the guitar. Great job.

This K yairi guitars, are the best guitars in the world. 😃

I have played many of the top acoustic guitars available, and I have found the AY to be one of the best line of guitars ever made. I have owned 7 of these fine instruments and have played over 50 years. This was an excellent video.

Wow! This is amazing factory. I love guitar 🎸 alot. God bless the workers.

I love my Yairi Thank you

Increíble el trabajo de estos artesanos y de cualquier producto manufacturado por los Japoneses.

Muito bom, gostei da fabricação do violão Legal Maravilha 👍👏

Приятно смотреть работу мастеров, иногда я доделываю за ними в точно и настроике

Hermoso trabajo 👏👏👏 felicitaciones 👏👏👏 Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴

Очень увлекательный процесс изготовления. Настоящие мастера своего дела.

I've been to Wayne Hendersons luthier shop, the famous Luthier who put Eric Clapton on a five year waiting list for a build. I watched him scallop the inside braces a certain way to get the max resonance from the box, and still be very light guitar.

I would be proud to own a guitar crafted by such skilled artisans. God bless ya.

Awesome stuff, missed opportunity by playing piano music in the background though. Acoustic/Classical guitar music would have been the way to go

영상을 보면 항상 느끼는 거지만 너무너무 깔끔하고 정리정돈이 잘되있어서 감탄합니다 오늘도 잘 보고갑니다~~~💗💗💗💗

herzlichen Dank, tolle Arbeit... thank you so much, beautiful Work...

Great! I really like the calmness that these men work! Seems to be enjoying that

عمل ممتاز و اتقان رائع تحياتنا من الجزائر

Wow ! This is a great manufacturing plant of an acoustic guitar, Yairi , love it ! Keep up your good works, guys !

Japanese technology is very great, I like it 👌.

I am very impressed by their use of hot hide glue for gluing the fingerboards. This makes a big difference in sound/vibration transference from the strings to the neck. These Japanese workers are true craftsman.

My favorite guitars out there.

La bellezza di un prodotto artigianale di grande qualità... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Que hermosura de guitarras, un arte súper hermoso, gracias por el video.

отличная работа . великолепный инструмент .

everyone knows how passionate the Japanese are🙏

i bought a SADA YAIRI dreadnought in Amsterdam at Dirk Witte guitarshop in 1972 and still play on it. It’s a beautiful guitar with a fantastic loud but warm sound and plays fantastic. As far as I know it is made by an uncle of the YAIRI’S of today.

I bought my K Yairi guitar in the 1980s. I spent many many hours playing it. I still have it. It’s still beautiful. Sadly I don’t play it often any more.

Muy buenas guitarras, gran sonido!

Brilliant. Awesome workmanship

Excelente trabalho perfeito sem dúvida...

It’s like the Toyota of guitar building. Gluing all the braces at once, gluing the linings before bending the sides and bending it all together at once, I never seen that. The soundboards look super thick. I like how they carve the necks though.

Nice work Nice guitars, i want one 😃

Desde ESPAÑA FELICITACIONES,un trabajo perfecto.

I have a maple jumbo. Just an incredible instrument. Not that expensive just solid and good

Incredible craftsmanship!

There's always been world craftsmanship around Nagoya, the famous Nagoya guitars, now Alvarez makers, I actually had an original Alvarez from the 60s and it played great and was loud.

Wow guitars are look soo good, also nice video from you againnn.

先日"50年以上続くK国のギター工場"の動画を見たばかりでしたので、あまりの違いに、流石は日本の工場と感度しました。 ギターショップでは、一見違いはないように見えるのでしょうが、品質は全く違う物と改めて思います。 これからも、素晴らしい商品を作り続けて頂きたいと思います。

Japanese craftsmanship is legendary, I would love to play and own one, I've had several Japanese guitars, and they're just as good quality as American ones (high end ones)

Gran tecnologia de confeccion japonesa

Fiquei impressionado com o acabamento dessa marca, recomendo muito. O modelo que testei foi o rf 65rb . Sensacional!

The machines and jigs are very clever.

Sehr schön 👍

I've been watching dozens of acoustic guitar reviews vids on Utube as I'm looking to buy my first acoustic guitar and not one has mentioned this brand! So I'm gonna have a look around more and see what people say as I was going with a Yamaha over fender, but Yairi looks interesting and love this vid....real skill and attention to detail, and beautiful craftsmanship! 🙏👏

Fantastic! Great work by everyone involved.

É por isso que eu admiro os produtos japoneses, são feitos com qualidade e excelência.

Impressive the heat the wood before gluing.

Manufatura artesanal uma arte onde todos os sentidos humanos atuam em sincronia.

Amazing! What I really loved was the calm meditative quiet atmosphere as these artisan craftspeople created beautiful instruments......After watching dozens of not hundreds of acoustic guitar videos on Utube and not being able to make up my mind which brand and make I should buy, I believe I am watching this wonderful video for a reason......that my first acoustic guitar should be a Yairi; that is just the Ying-Yang of it.....somethings we just cannot explain......it's the creativity of flow & glow. Thank you all for helping me find the path. This was a beautiful experience and will give me a deeper connection to my first acoustic guitar.👏🙏
