桜井正毅(SAKURAI MASAKI) P.C.-OR 2019

Masaki Sakurai (Sakurai Masaki) P.C.-OR 2019

Masaki Sakurai, a classical guitar maker, is the second generation of Kono Guitar Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and has inherited the professional quality guitars that follow the designs and methods of his master, Ken Kono, under the name "Sakurai Kono."

Its precise design and deep musical sensibility have earned it high praise both domestically and internationally, and today the works of the late Mr. Sakurai are considered valuable, and this instrument also boasts a mature sound and the high level of perfection that only Sakurai guitars can provide.

This time we have arrived "P.C.-OR", made in 2019.The label includes "KOHNO GUITAR MANUFACTURING", the model name, and the year of manufacture.

``P.C.-OR'' is one of the high-end models produced by him.The ``P.C.'' in the model name has the meaning of ``Pariscon'', and it is a representative model that has evolved by incorporating various innovations based on the guitar that won the Premier Prix at the 4th Paris International Guitar Making Competition in 1988.This one uses rosewood for the sides and back.The scale is 650mm.

As expected from a high-priced model and a masterpiece, this one has a louder volume than other classical guitars, and has a clear, clear tone that seems to go through the core, making it an impeccable piece.If you have one of this quality, playing the classical guitar will be really fun.There is a sense of security that can only come from being made in Japan, and that is why it is such a shame that it passed away in 2025.This is a brand that is currently being re-evaluated in terms of collector value and practicality, so if you are looking for one, please do so as soon as possible.
