[Profile]
Born in Nagoya in 1940. He learned to make guitars under his father, Hirohiko, a guitar maker, and has worked with his father to make good quality guitars by hand. Hirohiko started making guitars in the 1930s and continued to make guitars until the 1960s, after which Tatsuhiko took over. Two names are printed on the label of the time when they were made together, and sometimes H.T.HIROSE prints can be seen. Tatsuhiko also produces high-quality 10-string and 11-string guitars, as well as Hauser and Bouchet models.

[Description]
The No. 30 model, manufactured in 2003, is based on the guitar of Robert Bouchet, a rare French master craftsman. Hirose was originally interested in the Bouchet structure and experimented with it in his early models, but this model is a return to what can be called an orthodox Bouchet type.
The powerful, stress-free sound allows anyone to play it with ease, and the overall balance and tone quality are excellent.
There are a few minor scratches on the sound board, but the overall condition is very clean. This is a guitar that will continue to change as it is played more and more.
