Yairi RA-1 is a tribute to the historic travel and parlor instruments of the 19th-century Romantic era – not a modern parlor guitar, but a consistent reconstruction of the \"Biedermeier guitar\" with its characteristic features: an extremely delicate body (smaller than a Martin 0), a distinctive waisted figure-eight shape, slotted headstock, and 12-fret neck joint. K. Yairi built the RA series primarily for the Japanese domestic market under the personal supervision of Kazuo Yairi – these instruments were hardly imported into Europe, which today gives them a high rarity value.\u003cbr\u003eSonically, the RA-1 is designed for extremely fast response, dry, percussive mids, and crystal-clear, almost lute-like highs – not a modern bass foundation, but an authentic fingerstyle character for classical pieces on steel strings, folk picking, and historically informed playing. This example from 1999 comes from the golden age of the factory and is in beautiful used condition with signs of play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial and Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop – solid cedar:\u003c\/strong\u003e fine-grained, even annual rings from K.
