Quite warm, but even after all these years, it has the sound of a laminate guitar.ĭoes your id mean NYC cg? Are you from the New York City area? I was born in NYC, then my family moved to Europe, but I returned to NYC when I was 19 and went to NYU - Washington Square College in the 1970s.

Is it possible tax a current price for this old instrument ?Īs I have retired from my job and my travelling to folkmusic meetings I am thinking of selling the instrument. There are some japanese websites about the 737-12, but I can't read it.
The sides and the back are of light colour maybe maple. Beside some bruises and some scratches on the top it still sounds as powerful and bell-like as when it was new.ĭoes anybody exactly know, what materials S Yairi put in the 737-12 ? I know that it has got a spruve top, mahogany neck and a rosewood bridge. It withstood campfire heat and smoke and damp rainy nights in a tent, rain showers, kids who tried to play guitar by "nearly all means". I think that was one reason for his bankruptcy in the 80s.įor 30 years the 737 - 12 accompanied me steadily in my job as a music teacher, performer on open air folklore meetings around Europe. S YAIRI tried to produce good quality for a reasonable price. In the 70 s with the booming of guitar music most of the traditional companies set on profit instead of quality, except some exclusive models. He conviced me by comparing it to a similar Martin 12 string he also had in his shop. The seller, a friend of mine and a guitar expert, claimed that the 737 - 12 was more than a copy of a Martin model. I paid for it 1500 DM (German Mark) in those days eqivalent to 1000 US Dollars. In 1978 I bought a new 737 - 12 12 string dreadnought branded S. I think that there is a lot of confusion about YAIRI guitar manufacturers and their products.
