"I have a Levin LT18 with the number 3854 stamped on the headstock. That number I am assured is from 1905(!) but the model is a late 1960's (probably 1967) with the offset finger markers on the fretboard. I saw something here about strange…"

Sharon Peterson commented on matt welch's group S Yairi Owners"I have a 1971 Yairi and Son, Clase #300 classical (it's pictured in my avatar). Incredible sound, both warm and clear. And I got it cheap!

I sold it in the mid-sixties and soon regreted it. About ten years ago I found another 1958 M-26 in Toronto. It was more than $25, but still quite…"
Alfred Tirella commented on matt welch's group S Yairi Owners"Join the Yairi/Alvarez group on Yahoo. Ask a question of YL (Yairi Lover) who is the moderator of the group. She is very knowledgeable about Yairis. Both Sada and Kazuo."

Dale A. Lardie said… - Hi Matt:
How are you doing sir ? I am doing well, with summer, and being outside, playing the acoustic guitar and such. I played a few songs for my daughter's graduation last week, and I think I brought a bit of honor to the art of guitar playing (I've been planning this since she was a tyke!) I hope you are doing wel, my friend.
take care and God bless!
Dale
