[Profile]
Born in 1947, he began making guitars as a teenager, and in 1964, at the age of 17, he became an apprentice in the workshop of Tsunezaburo Kurosawa. 1969, he established his own workshop in Tokorozawa. Since then, he has continued to make guitars with excellent acoustic balance by utilizing the results of his research on Hauser I guitars, to which he has always been devoted.
The most representative of his characteristics and aesthetics are the Hauser models, which always maintain the beauty of their design, lustrous tone, and superb acoustic balance that make them worthy of being called Hauser models.
In terms of cost performance, this brand can be said to be one of the best in Japan.

[Description]
This is a Shumpei Nishino Type 50 (No. 50), made in 1992. When we think of Nishino, Hauser style models are the first that come to mind, but this is a Spanish style model with a different body shape and internal construction from Hauser's. The influence of Hernandez y Aguado can be felt in this model. The sound is fuller and brighter than his Hauser models, but the well-balanced and well-integrated acoustics are characteristic of this brand.
The entire body is painted with lacquer, but there are many scratches on the treble side of the sound board due to the fact that it has been played a lot. There are also some larger dents around the bridge and on the bottom, and the back has some scuff marks commensurate with its age. The string height is at the standard factory setting, but it can be adjusted slightly lower.
