: : : Some of the older Yairi's have Sada Yairi on them. Can anyone give me some info on the difference between Sada Yairi and Kazuo Yairi?

: : 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 ballance when playing. As with all quality guitars the older they get the better they sound and play. These babys Rock! Cheers, Simon B.

I have a Sada Yairi dreadnought guitar, I believe the model is a DW0025? (not sure of the model, the stamp is difficult to read). It is similar to a Martin D-35, it has a brazilian rosewood body with a 3-piece back. It is an exceptional guitar of very high quality.

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 got to this site while pining away for the Sada Yari that I sold 35 years ago. I was explaining to a Luthier who is going to build me a new one and he asked me. "You have had over 40 acoustics in your time which was the best?" After thinking about it for a couple of days I remembered the Yari and it was like the girlfriend from the past. You don't realize you love her until she gone. I had top dollar guitars but that Sada Yari was the best I have ever owned.
