Setting the pace for an entire industry
Since their first piano in 1900, Yamaha has consistently led the way in finding new methods to improve upon the age-old traditions of piano-making. These innovations have been adopted not only by Yamaha, but by other manufacturers as well.
This century-long quest for excellence has resulted in higher standards of quality, consistency, efficiency and performance throughout the piano-making industry. It has also made Yamaha the world's leading piano manufacturer.
Building Better Pianos
Yamaha has developed numerous advances and refinements—in acoustic design and analytical technologies, in the selection and processing of materials, in the design and production of components such as iron frames and action mechanisms, in production equipment and procedures, and in establishing the highest standards of quality management. The skills and expertise accumulated over a century of leadership in the music industry assure that Yamaha pianos represent the state of the art in piano design and construction.
Creating New Types of Pianos
Drawing on comprehensive acoustic and electronic knowhow, Yamaha has pioneered today's exciting range of digital/acoustic hybrids. These include the amazing Disklavier‚Ñ¢ recording/reproducing pianos, the popular Silent Pianos‚Ñ¢ that can be played normally or through headphones, and the superb GranTouch‚Ñ¢ digital pianos incorporating real piano keyboards and actions. Other manufacturers have followed Yamaha's lead, of course. But Yamaha leadership ensures that Yamaha instruments are always a step ahead.

A total approach to piano-making
Unlike most manufacturers, Yamaha takes a 'total approach' to piano-making, retaining complete control over virtually every component at every stage of production—we even build much of the production equipment ourselves. Rather than assembling pianos from parts produced by outside concerns, Yamaha designs, tests, evaluates, and manufactures all major parts in-house or at Yamaha subsidiaries and joint ventures. This allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality management, and ensures that the Yamaha piano you select is fully worthy of the Yamaha name.
The Timeless Touch of Expert Craftsmen
One key to the quality inherent in Yamaha pianos is the experience and dedication of our workforce. The finely honed skills and sensitivities of expert Yamaha artisans ensure that every Yamaha piano is flawlessly crafted and perfectly balanced—a pleasure to see, hear, play and own. These craftsmen and technicians pass on their hard-earned expertise to the generations who follow, maintaining an uninterrupted flow of accumulated wisdom that is reflected in every instrument we build.
A Rare Breadth of In-Company Know-How
Another key element of the Yamaha advantage is the extent of our expertise in related technologies. With well-established Yamaha credentials in fields such as metallurgy, chemistry and electronics, in addition to more obvious areas like acoustics and woodworking, we can leverage extensive resources within the company to help us raise the standards of piano-making and create ever-better instruments, along with a steady stream of new innovations.
