„Hideo Sato guitars have an immediate captivating charm about them. The well-tempered colours slumbering in every nerve of the quality timbres he selects, provide the player with a painting palette that will take you anywhere, from the solitary recording studio to the most demanding performing stage. Playing his guitars since 2017 among celebrated instruments by Fleta, Friederich, Ober, Oldiges, Rubio and Romanillos, to name but a few, I feel Hideo Sato guitars more than stand their ground and truly deserve their place as masterfully crafted instruments in their own right.“

„Hideo Sato continues with the spirit and craftsmanship of his father Kazuo. He builds excellent guitars by making use of his unique talent and continuous research effort. Their sound is from enchanting beauty. His guitar carries the sound not only in every corner of the concert hall but also into the hearths of my audience.“
„秀夫氏は、父であり師である一夫氏の精神と技術を受け継ぎ、独自の才能と絶え間ない研究努力を惜しみなく発揮することで素晴らしいギターを製作している。その音色は豊かにして妖艶。ホールの隅々、そして聴衆の心にまで響き渡る。“

„The guitars of Kazuo Sato have been fascinating me for more than 15 years now. For concerts as well as for recordings, you will be touched by the natural human quality of its sound. It comes very close to the illusion of talking through it with your own voice. This results mainly due to the remarkable musical flexibility combined with big volume and its elegant timbre. Especially in concerts halls, one will recognize the huge projection of this instrument."

Prof. Franz Halász
"I know Kazuo Sato's guitars for more than 10 years now and I am enthusiatic about their voluminous, assertive and yet brilliant and delicate sound. In 2009, when I was looking for a new instrument to realize my perfect sound idea, I ordered a Sato guitar, model Special, and my high expectations and demands were exceeded! The incredible wide range of dynamics combined with the direct and expressive sound allows the performer to produce a present tone on stage even in pianissimo and the unique and diverse spectrum of tonal colours inspires me as an artist every single day."

Tristan Angenedt
„When I first saw and played a guitar by Kazuo Sato, I immediately felt in love with such a wonderful and colourful instrument. I knew then that I had to order one, and I am now a happy owner of a magnificent Sato guitar.“

Pablo Marquez
„Desde el primer momento que toqué mi guitarra de Hideo Sato, no pude dejar de hacerlo. Es increíble la cantidad de sonidos que tiene, su volumen y la comodidad del diapasón. Para mí, tres de las cosas más importantes a la hora de escoger un instrumento de concierto.“
