2 Tradition and Technology Passed Down through the Generations Founded in 1887, Yamaha has become a world leader in highquality, inspirational musical instruments. We crafted our first piano in Since then, our uprights and grands have captivated players and audiences alike, combining exquisite natural response with truly wonderful sound. Yamaha s longevity owes much to our constant refinement of technologies used to build highquality pianos. But there s more to it than that. We also nurture a culture in which expert knowhow is passed down from one generation to the next. No machine can replicate all the processes of building a piano. From wood selection and woodworking to regulation and voicing, every step has evolved over time in the pursuit of perfection. You can see it and hear it in every piano we make. Our progress is driven by the twin engines of constant innovation and cherished tradition. Today, Yamaha is more committed than ever to the design and production of beautiful pianos with rich acoustic tone, unmistakable feel, and timeless beauty.
