Hiroshi Komori NO. 10 ~ 1977 Mr. Hiroshi Komori was a classical guitar maker and a direct disciple of Mr. Kenji Kono, who was the most popular at the time. Many of the luthiers who came from Kono Guitars are said to have guitars that sound sweet and thick, similar to their teacher's, and because they can obtain similar performance at a reasonable price, they seem to be supported by practical-minded people. Among them, Mr. Hiroshi Komori's characteristic is that he was a luthier who emphasized "dialogue with wood." Since he was a child, he loved wood and its processing, and at the age of 18, he built a house with his father. After working for the Forestry Agency for 10 years, he switched to the world of stringed instrument making. In 1964, he entered the Kono Guitar workshop and after 8 years of training, he established his own workshop in Tokorozawa City, near the Kono Guitar workshop, in 1973. The guitar on display has a label from around 1977, so it is believed to have been made about 3 to 4 years after he moved to his own workshop. (After that, he also encountered European stringed instrument zither music and became the only zither maker in Japan, broadening his understanding of stringed instruments. In his later years, he returned to his hometown of Date City, Hokkaido, and continued to make guitars until his death.) The materials of the guitar on display are a cedar top, and rosewood sides and back. The ebony fingerboard is of high quality and smooth, which is difficult to obtain in recent years. The appearance has some repairs to the top, but there are no cracks in the sides or back. Perhaps considering that the cedar top is prone to cracking, a hard resin seems to be used for the top's finish. The saddle has about 3 mm remaining. I think the sound can be described as sweet and thick. A luthier from Kono Guitars who loves wood Hiroshi Komori NO. 10 ~ 1977 Please consider it.
