Masaki Sakurai is the nephew of the late, renowned Japanese luthier Masaru Kohno, and as customary, is the heir to the Kohno shop. The M. Sakurai No.5 was one of his early instruments designed and built during his apprenticeship beginning in 1976. The M. Sakurai No.5 classical guitar is based closely on Kohno designs, and construction of these early models would have been closely supervised by Kohno himself.

❌SOLD❌ Larrivee Classical Guitar Cedar Top, 1972

On December 28, 2022 /

This lovely and well preserved Jean Larrivee classical guitar was built during 1972 in Toronto, likely above the Tarragon Theatre. That location was Larrivee’s first formal shop space separate from his home, and was soon followed by a storefront on Mt. Pleasant Avenue. Jean Larrivée began building at his home around 1967. At that time, if you were interested in building guitars you read the very few books on the subject or met an established builder.
