K.Yairi / 2024 GF-7
Many people may feel a bit intimidated when they hear the word "classical guitar.
They may think that nylon strings are not suitable for them, or that the thick neck makes it difficult to play.
We often hear people say that they have not been able to reach out for a classical guitar because they feel this way.
However, the classical guitar has more possibilities than you can imagine.
The K.Yairi GF-7, for example, is a guitar that gently eases such concerns.
The name Yairi Guitar has a special warmth to it.
It must be because the craftsmen carefully work on each guitar one by one, surrounded by the aroma of wood in a corner of the workshop.
The accumulation of that time is reflected in the sound and the craftsmanship of the guitars.
The GF-7 also has a kindness to it, as if someone prepared it for you.
The first thing to note is the "14-fret joint" unique to this model.
The most attractive feature of this model is that it follows the structure of a classical guitar, but offers playability similar to that of an acoustic guitar.
The width of the nut is 44.5 mm, and the neck is clean and comfortable to hold, while still providing the nylon strings with a gentle feel to the fingertips.
Even those who normally use folk guitars (iron strings) can start playing without any discomfort.
Carefully selected veneer cedar is used for the top wood.
With its soft and slightly subdued tone, cedar is a perfect match for nylon strings.
The sound rises from the moment it is played, softly filling the space without effort.
Its sound does not assert itself, yet it is somehow nostalgic, with a mysterious aftertaste that gently traces the contours of your heart.
Obancol is used for the back and sides. It has characteristics similar to rosewood, but is characterized by a slightly flatter and more straightforward sound.
It takes on the fullness of the cedar and firmly supports the transparent mid-bass. The balance between the two is truly exquisite.
For those who value the density and directionality of the sound without seeking too much volume, this is surely an ideal combination.
Ebony is used for the fingerboard and rosewood for the bridge, and the overall operability and strength are impeccable.
The finish is also very carefully executed, giving the instrument a simple yet graceful appearance.
There are no unnecessary decorations, but rather the beauty of the materials and design stands out.
When I play it, I have the feeling that the distance between myself and the sound is suddenly getting closer, rather than wanting to express something.
For those who want to enjoy the classical guitar as an instrument more freely and casually.
We strongly recommend the GF-7, which combines elegance and familiarity, both as a first guitar and as a long-lasting companion.
To know the expression of nylon strings. It is surely also to know the "softness" and "pause" in music.
We would like to recommend this model to those who want to carefully savor every note of music.
