He was called the "magician of sound" because when Mr. Matano adjusted a guitar, it would be revived with a remarkable tone. He is also famous as the first Japanese guitar maker to adjust the Stradivarius, a famous violin. Unfortunately, Mr. Matano suddenly disappeared from the classical guitar world after 1981, and his whereabouts are unknown, making him a mysterious and legendary guitar maker.
