Yamaha

Yamaha are known as a huge multinational conglomerate that make a large variety of different products (and indeed they are) but the root of the company is and always has been in the making of quality musical instruments. Formed in 1887 in the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan, Yamaha started out as a business making pianos and reed organs. Indeed, the Yamaha logo to this day is a pair of tuning forks!

Yamaha are the world's biggest piano manufacturer and have more instruments in more schools than any other instrument maker. It isn't all about the student though: top musicians like Jools Holland, Elton John, Alicia Keys, Brian Wilson and Billy Sheehan all use Yamaha instruments both live and in the studio.

Yamaha have created some of the most beloved instruments in music history from their SG and Pacifica guitars to their Clavinova pianos and the iconic CS80 synthesizer. The name 'Yamaha' is most definitely a seal of instant approval across the board: the often-spoken saying that 'Yamaha don't make anything bad' proves to be resolutely true time after time.
