Masaki Sakurai - 2000 Concert-J
Masaki Sakurai - 2000 Concert-J
Overview
Overview
Masaki Sakurai, nephew of the great Japanese luthier Masaru Kohno, was born in 1944. He studied electrical engineering at Sophia University and joined “Kohno Guitar Manufacturing” after graduating in 1967. In 1988 he won the prestigious first prize at the Fourth International Paris Guitar Making Competition. Masaki Sakurai’s guitars are of impeccable craftsmanship and are known for their ease of playing and great volume of sound.
This beautiful guitar has all the aesthetic qualities of Kohno guitars, such as perfect craftsmanship and a spruce top with a beautiful honey colour, so called “cashew” finish. The shape of the headstock is a combination of the head shape of the guitars of Robert Bouchet and Masaru Kohno. The sound produced by this guitar is simply amazing, well beyond our expectations for such an accessible model. Power and projection are combined with awesome playability. The first string is brilliant and sings elegantly with its great sustain. It is a guitar with an almost Spanish attack along with very well defined and precise bass. A very nice surprise and an instrument that is equally recommended to all kinds of guitarists, amateurs, and professionals. The guitar is excellent condition with minimal playing wear.

Classical Guitar
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
