[Profile]
Born in Gunma, Japan, in 1974, he began making classical guitars at the age of 20. He learned at Sakae Ishii's workshop, where he built about 140 guitars. In 2001, he attended a workshop with José Luis Romanillos in Sigüenza, Spain, which provided him with a decisive experience and convinced him that the traditional Spanish method was the direction he should take.
After returning to Japan, he set up a workshop in Tochigi Prefecture, and in October 2002, he launched the Romanillos model. His guitars are the fruit of his exploratory spirit and outstanding in their design and sonic perfection. He currently produces five to six guitars per year.
In 2018, a popular NHK program aired a video of him building in his workshop, and in 2020, his interview and instruments were featured in Orfeo Magazine No. 15, published by French publisher Camino Verde.

[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a good used Hauser model 2018 No. 255 made by Masahiro Tanabe. Like his Torres model, it is an excellent replica model that closely resembles the original, and at the same time, it is a superb 'homage' infused with Mr. Tanabe's personality.
The balance of the tone from the bass to the treble is very pleasant, and the Spanish guitar sound that Hauser I possessed is also well realized. Therefore, even with a soft touch, the sound is firm and the expression is delicate. Of course, it is also powerful enough to be a Hauser I model, and has a very high level of perfection.
The overall finish is shellac, and although it has a simple appearance, the well-designed details and the beautiful green and brown tone of the muzzles add a stylish accent, giving the guitar a calm and elegant appearance. There are no cracks or other major repairs, and the sound board is in good condition except for a few play marks.
