About Masaki Sakurai: Masaki Sakurai,
nephew of the great Japanese luthier Masaru Kohno, was born in 1944. He
studied at the electronics department of Sophia University, and after
graduating in 1967 he entered “Kohno Guitar Manufacturing”. In 1988 he
won the first prize in the fourth Paris International Guitar Luthiers
Competition.
About the guitar: This Concert-R model was made by So Kimishima. He
is the grandson of Masaru Kohno and the nephew of Masaki Sakurai, and he
has worked for over 10 years as a luthier in the Sakurai workshop. The
spruce top of this beautiful guitar and the red-hued Indian Rosewood
back and sides give the guitar a warm, appealing appearance. The
rosewood binding and back strip are embedded between two plain green
stripes. The sound is warm but forceful with pearly trebles, and it has
an excellent response. The tuners are made by Fustero. A hard-shell case
is included.
