Overall Opinions of Alverez Yairi CY118 Jacaranda Classic:
Pros: Excellent value for the bucks. even 10 yrs. ago a classical instument this good could easily run $1500 range. The Japanese keep building better instuments for less- think Honda Accord.
Cons: Because its not a Ramerez, resale will not be as great. But if buying to play on a regular basis, check out the CY line before spending$2000 or more for the Spanish import...
