Yamaha began over one hundred years ago when a young entrepreneur named Torakusu Yamaha set out to craft a high-quality reed organ. Before long, the company he founded had not only gone on to manufacture Japan's first piano, it had also gained international recognition.

Yamaha is now one of the biggest names in the musical instrument world and has also gained much respect in the guitar, bass, PA and live sound world, as well as other musical instrument areas.
