What do you like about this subject? The Kazuo Yairi models are true works of art (and sound!)~ anyone that owns one knows what I'm talking about, and for years they were a "secret". Now, they are very sought after, yet there is very little info available on them. Thus my reason for doing the research, and offering to help others find out about their models.
