Guitar manufacturing process in China factory | Made in China

[@MAXProcess]

I've never seen guitars being made. It's an interesting process. Is it true that the type of wood used to make an instrument affects its sound?

[@sourcefindchina]

yhh, type of wood will affects its sound

[@koine2002]

Very much so. The top is the most important. The strings, through the bridge and saddle, vibrate the top which produces the sound. Sitka spruce, which is getting more expensive to get in quantity and quality needs for guitars, is historically the most common. I myself prefer cedar. The wood used for the back and sides will further impact the sound as they vibrate, too. The neck contributes, a bit, as well. The more solid wood (as opposed to laminated veneers), the more dimensions the sound has. The woods age and usage has an impact, too. As it ages (through use), the sound gets richer due to the wood “loosening” up to vibrate more. The bracing patterns and amount of scalloping is another major factor.

OSHA would shut down this factory in about 10 minutes if it was in the US. Watch a video of guitars being built in the US and compare to this video. Shows why some of the ones that are imported from China are so cheap.

[@theeaskey]

This the reason guitars are not made anymore in america ,between Osha. and the unions they have american destroyed.

[@edge1289]

@@theeaskeyexcellent quality guitars are made in the USA, those guitars made in this video are firewood kindling.

[@martinspreiter8240]

Respekt for this hard workig people! And a big thank too. I have three in China produced guitars, and they all are great. I want to say: Outstanding. And this for a price that is less than a quarter of the same model produced in the USA. And the quality is sometimes better than the us produkts.

[@Alex_Mitchell]

And the people who make them work longer, harder hours than you and I can imagine, AND, they are paid little more than slave-labour wages for doing so. Good for you for supporting such terrible working conditions and for pouring cash into the pockets of the repressive CCP.

[@bachmusicczech]

Look at the part of this video where the woman works on the linings, she doesn´t control it and after that hot a man laps surfaces of top and back of rims and where is the lining. It is out.

S.Yairi YM-02 Very Nice Guitar！

[@silverstem2964]

Yairi's are great guitars but are Japanese made. Alvarez is really good for a less expensive guitar. I own both.

[@alfredooliva5175]

Guitars for under $200 ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL

[@sourcefindchina]

Thank for you watching

[@theeaskey]

It looks like a guitar,that's where the similarity ends.

[@natsonwang5241]

if U play , u will know these are not cheap ones

[@Philc231]

These look like baby Taylor’s or martins . Other than the dust ,and maybe some guards this does not look that much different than any other guitar plant .

[@clintonjackson1209]

Martins, there are no Taylor factories in china. All the low end Taylor’s are made in Mexico

[@mdpamungkas4856]

can I work there? I have experience in guitar. Become the leader of the packing and buffing assembly Im from indonesia

[@ГлинобетонКыргызстанСынчКаркас]

Моя гитара сделана на этом заводе, очень хорошая гитара 🎸.

[@lefthandpath1587]

Saw 2 major health and safety issues that would get this factory fined and maybe shut down in the US in just the first 90 seconds. Stacks of freshly glued guitar sides stacked with a fan blowing the sides (and volatile compounds off the drying glue) directly into the workers space and face; micro wood dust flying everywhere onto workers, potentially into their eyes and lungs (hello, emphysema). Thats apart from that wood dust being blown in the joins and body of every guitar, weakening the construction of what already are cheap laminates (the aforementioned sides flex like paper when moved - that should not happen with a quality laminate wood.

[@Renssogo]

what is the name of that factory?

[@christopherfidler3019]

No idea but current Sada Yairi guitars have nothing to do with Sada Yairi (deceased) and are low quality guitars made in China.

[@wolpumba4099]

Amazing!

[@mickymillersson4376]

Where does all the dust go?

[@SBahamondes]

Lungs

[@keithsnowdon8672]

It gets brushed into a pile and mixed with glue to make another guitar

[@Jerry-vx2kj]

hey, too small amount of glue to both end blocks :(

[@sourcefindchina]

Thank for you watching

[@paulhendershott667]

These are $69 guitars in the US and elsewhere. Too much random squeeze-out in some places, too little in others, no test fitting the neck, just hammering it in to fit and then compensating with the truss rod which is not the purpose and creates other issues....

[@peterpulpitpounder]

Impressive, yet not the level of "care" needed during certain steps. A lot of particulate matter in the air. Can't be healthy. I'd buy one just to help these hard working laborers out.

[@chahahc]

No way about it. Even with modern tech, there's a lot of handwork involved in making an instrument.

[@sourcefindchina]

thank for you watching

[@Healing-Music-Shelter]

A lot of work goes into one instrument.😮

[@sourcefindchina]

thank you for your watching

[@Ilvik-uo3kl]

Thanks, but no. I prefer an acoustic guitar that has japanese quality instead that one.

[@sourcefindchina]

thank you for you watching

[@DaBinChe]

@@SelwynRogers Japanese mass produced products were of poor quality before Edward Deming and continuous improvement. He completely changed the game for them. Also Japan has a culture of perfection. The Chinese on the other hand don't have the culture of perfection but a culture of good enough....kinda like the US has the saying good enough for government work. This is why you can't let chinese companies makes things on their own cause they will turn out low quality products. Foreign companies have their people directly in these chinese plants to ensure quality other wise if left on their own will turn out garbage.

[@natsonwang5241]

You have to compare two products which have similar prices otherwise what is the point

[@JiveDadson]

​@DaBinChe Anything worth doing is worth doing good enough. The process in this video is not good enough. Why install kerfing if the top and back are not seated on it?

[@bachmusicczech]

I have a feel the women, who work there, do not know what they do. To make their 1000 pcs a day and go home.No control of each step, Rough job, compare it with Matin for example. Guitars are not a China tradition instrument. We sell China guitars from a very good factory wchich works for Koreans too, but We can see the always repetitious mistake made by just people who make guitars as their job only, no heart into. Chinese have one "adventage" , no respect to environment, no regulating compared with us in EU. It is much easier to make anything in there. But a Chinese doesn´t respect correct details on guitars We do.

[@racrx7]

May as well use a rock as a hammer. Get some mallets!!

[@popsfereal]

Wow.... so many cork sniffing expert guitar builders comment here.

[@keithsnowdon8672]

I would be very annoyed if i found one of these (guitars)? Not sure why anyone would like future customers to see this spectacle of Chinese manufacture at its best.

[@viterjeff]

S. Yairi factory made in china real

[@sourcefindchina]

yes

[@CDGMR1]

I watched how a $19,500 hand made guitar is made. Would never buy a Chinese made one. Although, Yamaha guitars are made in China. Is there anything, that China doesn’t make?

[@STANPAN772]

Miałem taką. To gitara dla upośledzonych słuchowo

[@GianoOudeis72]

At min 9:39 when the Truss Rod is engaged it would be better to use a rubber mallet or mallet with rubber ends to avoid all those bumps on the Truss Rod!! This is why many despise Chinese or Made in China production because certain jobs like in this case are carried out without any care or finesse or respect for the instrument...!! I know that China also produces good quality guitars but seeing this also makes me more wary, especially if you then open the guitar in two and find glue residue, smudges and perhaps a damaged Truss Rod; wood under the keyboard chipped and keys placed badly and not well rounded or smoothed! I prefer the Japanese manufacturing to the Chinese one if I really have to choose but precisely because I see a job done poorly as in this case and it cannot be justified just because perhaps the guitars produced here are at a good or low cost given that they still give work to many people.

[@terryterry1655]

Oriental Cherry is born

[@billyhuynh6554]

labor cheap and less technique to compared with big martin or taylor .because still used hand making.but some good company like Saer guitar to made good classical guitars

[@GreenCheese500]

The wood quality looks very cheap.

[@popsfereal]

Wow if you can assess the quality wood through a video maybe you should get a job there actually sorting through it for them.

[@GreenCheese500]

@popsfereal Yes, in fact, my friend is a luthier. I have personally seen quality woods, and they look totally different than the one in this video.

[@librepensador762]

VERY LOW QUALITY.........

[@keithsnowdon8672]

Dont think they even came up to the very low quality mark

[@hakankutlu4154]

Yes. Its not 2000 usd Usa Martin

[@rodjos5463]

🍿👍

[@christianboddum8783]

Hmmm.......

[@werewolflover8636]

Hell no!

[@slipstreamvids7422]

All made the same

[@Gans_b62]

Надеюсь моя гитара не с этого производства 😅

[@patwelch8187]

I would not give you $1.00 for this junk...

[@keithsnowdon8672]

Nor me.

[@oceanwatchesclaudejolly1742]

Will never buy a made in Chinese guitar they don’t have heart to make instruments just it’s the quantity, and the profit I have a Takamine guitar made in Japan. You can see the difference at Takamine factory kzbin.info/www/bejne/enapgKZ_mK6LiNEsi=0N9hHd7dNK3cZq1Q
