Process of making Acoustic guitar. Japanese guitar factory that plays classical music to the guitar 

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.

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.

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。

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。

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！

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

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

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!

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

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. ❤

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。

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

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。

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.

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

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

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

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.

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。

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

I've been meaning to purchase this brand of guitar from a vintage guitar seller but decided on a Yamaha Nippon Gekki FG from the 70's, but this video made me want a Yairi. Wonderful craftsmanship, I am sure they sound superb.

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

職人仕事は見ていて気持ちがいいです

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

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 !

A delight to watch such craftsmen at work!

Japanese craftsmanship is top notch!! They take such care in their quality and their hand tool skills have always been extraordinary!! 非常によくやりました

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🍀

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.

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

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

Очень увлекательный процесс изготовления. Настоящие мастера своего дела.

En Definitiva, su Filosofía como Nación es PERFECCIONAR DÍA A DÍA TODO AQUELLO QUE YA PARECE PERFECTO. No cabe duda que Japón es un gran ejemplo de que la Calidad es 1000 veces mejor que la Cantidad. Saludos y excelente vídeo.

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！

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

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

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

ありがとうございます。畑違いですが、自称、職人として40年近く道具や作業工程管理に、こだわってきました。私は左利きなので、全行程の全てを「左利きの職人さん」に製作してほしい。　俗に言う「超スーパー特注品」。高すぎて買えないけど。　日本には左利き用の調理器具、電動工具が1部しかありません。　あっそ、ごめんチャイ。>_

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

Sじゃない方のヤイリギターですね。流石に値段帯が高いギターは職人による手工業的要素が高いですね。安い方のヤイリは中国人が工場で大量生産していますから。 ネックの微調整のシェイビングなんてする訳も無い。 やはり造りは売価コストによりますね。

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

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

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

Great Japanese works..i salute you❤

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。

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😊

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

Simplesmente maravilhoso!! Parabéns por tanta eficiência!!

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

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

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

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.👏🙏

I am continually amazed by a culture supports such quality and pride in everything they produce!!!

отличная работа . великолепный инструмент .

I always admire those who create such miracles! Dear masters, you make the world a better place!

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

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)

ギターは特に生ギターは制作も大切なのですが、何年にも渡って弾き込む事が最も大事で、弾き込む事により音が成長し良くなって行きます。 安いギターでも手を掛けてメンテナンスして引き込むとハイエンドギター以上の音色に成ります。 ヤイリさんも素晴らしいギターですが、ギターは持ち主で変わります。

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

The Japanese soul is in the guitar. Great job.

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

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

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

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

Japanese technology is very great, I like it 👌.

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

I was so impressed with the care and attention to detail the staff commit to. I just googles the guitars, they sell for $3000 usd! Wow!

Impressive the heat the wood before gluing.

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.

My favorite you guys always the best

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

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.

The machines and jigs are very clever.

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.

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😊

Desde ESPAÑA FELICITACIONES,un trabajo perfecto.

عمل ممتاز و اتقان رائع تحياتنا من الجزائر

I remember watching a video about how Yamaha's chinese guitars are made. Compared to that, this is a work of art. Congrats!!!

Gran tecnologia de confeccion japonesa

My favorite guitars out there.

These craftsmen treat every step of the process as true work of art. No skimping on quality here.

I’ve had 4 Yairi guitars, as well as others (Martin, Collings, etc.) over the years and I know the Yairi craftsmanship is unsurpassed.

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

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

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.

everyone knows how passionate the Japanese are🙏

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

Very beautiful guitars!

У меня ymaha 182 s. Очень радует. Люблю гитары ,интересное видео.

Fantastic! Great work by everyone involved.

私は日本人の作品がとても好きです🥰
