Cutaway Body Grants Easy Access to Upper Frets The WY1 folk orchestra model has a comfortably contoured single cutaway for unfettered access to the upper register. The cutaway allows your fretting hand to easily reach those high solo notes. You'll be able to explore the entire fingerboard and expand your playing possibilities. The ergonomic body shape feels natural against your body, with perfect contouring whether seated or standing. FST6 Bracing Produces Open, Robust Bass Yairi's FST6 bracing system provides a wider tonal palette with enhanced low-end response. The lighter braces allow the thin solid spruce top to vibrate freely. This results in clear and open mids, along with tight bass notes with piano-like resonance. Strumming or fingerpicking rewards you with notes that bloom and ring out. The FST6 bracing gives the WY1 remarkable headroom and dynamic range. L.R.
